| Pittsburgh | Moving to Pittsburgh - Where Should I Live? Posted: Thu May 31, 2007 10:07 PM UTC
Hi All - I am a 24 year old female professional planning to move to Pittsburgh in September 2007. I'd like to get some suggestions on where to live. I'll be working downtown on Stanwix St., so want to have a relatively easy commute to work. Do young ppl live downtown? What other neighborhoods are popular with 25-35 year old crowd? I'd like to be close to some nightlife, shopping, and restaurants as well - but not necessarily in the middle of a ton of undergrads. Also, how accessible is the bus system in Pittsburgh? Any info is greatly appreciated!

I don't live in Pittsburgh but I know others who do.. There are loads of places to live that are close and are good neighborhoods. Ventureoutdoors.org is good organization with the age group that your looking for. Email Member (Vodwine) he used to live in Pittsburgh and knows the city well.

I would recommend that you consider Bloomfield and the South Side.

??? Don't move to Bloomfield or Southside. The noise, traffic, and crime in those areas make them a poor choice for a residence. There are three good places to live in Pittsburgh, in my opinion, for a young professional. North Hills close to Mcknight road, South Hills close to the T stations, or in Shadyside near Oakland and the Universities. All three have nice houses for sale at reasonable prices and places to rent, from high rises to town homes. I live in North Hills. They all have excellent public tranportation and are within a 15 minute drive to the city, and are close to anything that you would need, including parks, health clubs, shopping malls, nightlife etc...

I do not agree with living in the suburbs. You will always be driving into the city for nightlife! Choose either SouthSide or Shadyside, there are more cabs available to those areas then out to the South or North Hills. Also, in SouthSide you could walk most places. Find a house off the main drag of Carson street and you should be okay.
Good luck and welcome to the Burgh! we are happy to have you!
