It’s a great city to move to for anyone looking to relocate to a place with a thriving food scene, friendly people, and access to nature.

1) Access to waterways and green spaces<\/span><\/h2>\n

You don’t have to venture far out of the city to enjoy the outdoors. Sitting at the heart of three rivers – the Monongahela, Allegheny, and the Ohio River – the waterways in Pittsburgh aren’t just breathtakingly beautiful, but offer access to a handful of watersport activities. You can kayak, paddleboard, go boating, or cruise down the rivers on the Gateway Clipper, a dining and sightseeing cruise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While the skyscrapers and downtown skyline are impressive enough, the greenery around the city will also leave you equally as stunned. Frick Park and Schenley Park are among the many great green spaces nestled in the city, where you can go biking, hiking, running, or picnicking.<\/span><\/p>\n

2) Sports culture<\/span><\/h2>\n

It’s no exaggeration that Pittsburgh has unparalleled team spirit and camaraderie no matter the sports team, be it the Steelers (NFL), Penguins (NHL), or Pirates (MLB). These teams are consistently competitive in their respective sports, giving their fans countless reasons to root for them.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Baseball<\/p>\n

3) Affordable living<\/span><\/h2>\n

Pittsburgh, PA boasts an affordable cost of living<\/a> that makes it an appealing destination to call home. Pittsburgh stands out with its budget-friendly housing market<\/a>, offering a notably lower median sale price of $237,000 compared to the national median of $407,500. Additionally, Pittsburgh’s cost of living is impressively 33% lower than the bustling city of Boston, MA, and 16% lower than the vibrant metropolis of Chicago, IL. These substantial differences in cost of living demonstrate Pittsburgh’s ability to provide an affordable environment that allows residents to stretch their budgets further while still enjoying the benefits of a thriving urban center.<\/p>\n

4) Pittsburgh’s thriving food scene<\/span><\/h2>\n

It’s safe to say that Pittsburgh is a haven for food enthusiasts, and always has been. In fact, the idea behind the Big Mac originated in the city as well as the famous Heinz ketchup company. Another longstanding Pittsburgh delicacy is the Pierogi, a European dumpling with a sweet or savory filling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For restaurant-goers, some Pittsburgh classics include Primanti Bros which serves mouthwatering deli sandwiches, topped with french fries, coleslaw, and tomatoes. Another local favorite is Pamela’s Diner, famous for its hotcakes and potatoes. There are also several gastropubs\u2014like Butcher and the Rye, Meat & Potatoes, and The Commoner\u2014for those who want a cocktail with their dinner. The food scene here offers endless cuisine options from around the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5) Arts & Culture<\/span><\/h2>\n

Yes, sports here in Pittsburgh are big, but so is the arts and culture scene. All over the city, you’ll find art galleries, museums, theaters, and more. Be sure to check out the Byham Theater, the Benedum Center, Mattress Factory, the Andy Warhol Museum – North America’s largest single-artist museum – the Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh, and the Children\u2019s Museum of Pittsburgh. You can even enjoy world-class ballet, symphony, and operas in Steel City.<\/span><\/p>\n

6) Pittsburgh’s theme park<\/span><\/h2>\n

Another reason to move to Pittsburgh is for the theme park. <\/span>Kennywood Park<\/span><\/a> has everything from wild rides to the tastiest of treats. The park first opened in 1899 and has been providing locals and visitors years of live entertainment, exciting carnival games, and thrilling rides. Once named “The Roller Coaster Capital of the World,” the park boasts 46 rides varying from wooden to steel roller coasters, water rides, and much more.<\/span><\/p>\n

With this nice weather comes the opportunity to enjoy outdoor events and concerts, spend time on the water, and catch up with friends in one of the city\u2019s many parks.<\/span><\/p>\n
