Peso Way

| Neighborhood | New Homestead |
| Peach Alley (until 1934) | |
This former alley was laid out as Peach Alley in 1902 as part of the Doerr Terrace plan of lots.[1] After New Homestead was annexed by Pittsburgh in 1931,[2] this name conflicted with Peach Way in the Hill District, so it was changed to Peso Way by a city ordinance in 1934.[3]
Peso Way does not exist today.
