About Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh is a unique and exciting place to live. Located in western Pennsylvania at the junction of three rivers (Ohio, Allegheny and Monongahela), with a population of 300,00, this city has a beautiful mix of historical attractions, museums, delicious restaurants, stunning parks, championship sports teams and so many things to do and see.

With the tunnels into the city and the view from Mount Washington, Pittsburgh is a city with an entrance. Sometimes known as the "city of bridges" for its 446 bridges scattered throughout the city, Pittsburgh provides its residents with a semi-urban feel without the cost of other big cities. It has a relaxed vibe with some great neighborhoods full of affordable housing options.

Known as a family-friendly city, Pittsburgh has many green spaces, making it a wonderful area to work and live in. Whether you are looking for a more affordable city to live in or the excitement of having big-city amenities with a more small-town feel, Pittsburgh is the perfect place for you.

Here's what our residents have to say about Pittsburgh:

"Pittsburgh's dynamic charm is truly captivating, seamlessly weaving its industrial past with a forward-looking spirit. The city's iconic sports culture, evident in passionate fan support for teams like the Steelers and Penguins, adds an exhilarating energy to its vibrant scene. Alongside this, Pittsburgh's ability to seamlessly blend historic landmarks with trendy millennial hangouts creates an exciting urban experience, making it an engaging and multifaceted city to explore and enjoy."

"I like the laid-back nature of Pittsburgh. It has all the city amenities and also nature within a very close distance."

"Pittsburgh is a big enough city to have everything and then small enough to live a peaceful life, nearby hiking tracks and parks are a bonus. Moreover, Mount Washington reminds of Margalla Hills back home."

"The nature trails here are truly unparalleled. If you have not visited Ohiopyle, you should take time to go and have lunch at Bittersweet Cafe."

"The point State Park fountain, Ice skating rink in the PPG paint arena, Duquesne Incline, Schenley park and above all UPMC Mercy hospital."

"I love the rivers, bridges, mountains and the city view."

"It's a middle-sized city but has everything you need. There is a ton to do and many good places to go and eat."

"Having a mixture of a big city life and a calm suburban life, we can get the best of both worlds and find everything within a close driving distance."

"The city has everything: great places to eat, great sports teams, great events, and great parks for outdoor activities/hiking."

"I like the parks and hiking trails in Pittsburgh and the fall foliage is beautiful."
