7 Things You MUST KNOW Before Moving to Pittsburgh Pennsylvania

[@nicviv1165]

my wife and I were in Pittsburgh last weekend and we found that if you miss a turn, there's always another way lol. Absolutely fell in love with the city's beauty and fantastic people. People there have pride and clean the streets when they see trash, let you in when you need to get over and are super down to earth. Future home for sure!

[@livinginpittsburghpennsylvania]

Wohoo!! Glad you loved it. Pittsburgh pride is a real thing…we love our city!

[@AshLey-cb8yx]

Yes… unlike Philly where every street is a one way 😂 I appreciate this fact so much after visiting my Philly family

[@toxievope3617]

Rarely hear of any particularly bad crime from Pittsburgh. I visited there about 10 years ago and felt very safe and quite honestly,the people looked relatively happy and not stressed like many large cities.

[@reydelllinton904]

You always give us great information about Pittsburgh. I learn something new every time. Cannot wait to visit. Thanks 👍

Awesome! Welcome to Pittsburgh!! Let me know if there’s anything we can help with

[@Cosmicbelt621]

Viewing this video 2 yrs later, how has it been in this time since your original comment? Would love to hear your perspective. Coming from southwest it would be a big change for me very nervous

[@Pghyinzer]

Your videos are so informative. It would be nice if you set "chapters" for them. That way we can easily review the information that is the most important for us.

[@livinginpittsburghpennsylvania]

Thanks! Great suggestion

[@karenejkleinfineart]

I love the lilacs that bloom in the spring along the back roads. I was born in Pittsburgh, but grew up on the west coast. I still love Pittsburgh and enjoy your videos

[@livinginpittsburghpennsylvania]

thanks for the comment!

We’re moving to the Gibsonia/Wexford area in July. Can’t wait!!!!

I lived there for 5 years- great area!

@@livinginpittsburghpennsylvania Thanks so much! I'm from PA, just not Pittsburgh. I'm currently in Flagstaff, AZ. I sold my house here in November, and got a good chunk. I'm not a big fan of Northern Arizona, and Phoenix is a real desert.

[@livinginpittsburghpennsylvania]

@@lindamastromonaco7658 Got it. Have you been here before? Have a few people coming from AZ actually

[@ACoolMom]

This is spot on! I just moved to Pittsburgh a few weeks ago from Philly & one of the first things I noticed was how polite people are here. What a difference compared to Philly😂 I’m originally from the Jersey Shore & something else I really love is all the nature! I look out my window & see beautiful trees with all the autumnal leaves, literally gorgeous. And you’re correct about affordability. Much cheaper than Jersey & Philly. So far, I really like it here! I can’t wait to explore all the food places soon! The only thing I despise is..No WaWa lol but I’ll get over that eventually 😂🖤💛

[@livinginpittsburghpennsylvania]

Welcome!😊 Glad you’re liking it!

[@Pghyinzer]

No Wawa, no problem. Sheetz is the local version. Excellent place for made to order food.

[@mctraveller8539]

Im not a primanti hater but id rather eat anything else but Primantis The gyros in pittsburgh are the best! Also the pizza ,pierogies, and Sunseris bakery in the strip! Yes i live 2 hours north of Pittsburgh and when i come here I always feel like ive come home! Ive been researching the area my favorites areas around Pittsburgh are 1 Mt lebo/Dormont 2.Shadyside/Bloomfield/east liberty last and coming in last southside just a bit too crazy on the weekends🎉😂

[@Jordynfire]

Moving here from California. I’m so sad but we have to move for my husband’s job. It looks great I will just miss my home in California. I am born and raised California and spent 32 years here. I do look forward to exploring PA and maybe getting back into horseback riding.

Super helpful, as always. Thanks!

Who do you recommend as an agent for renters who are relocating to Pittsburgh?

[@shaydelre1898]

NOT Nexus Real Estate. Or JJ Land Company. Oakland is all college rentals so the landlords all sucks. Right now we are renting from an old French man who won't help us with the rat situation. lol it's really nice here I promise,,, just bad landlords.

[@marylouveniziano1881]

Is Penn Ave safe?

[@mrman3523]

The reason the city population is so small is because the area of Pittsburgh proper is so small. The border is so tight. The metro area is over 2 million

[@mikekelov2548]

Exactly. City is only 58 square miles. If it combined with county like other cities . It would be 6th biggest in county.

[@thomassmearcheck2819]

pgh is a small city ,there shouldn't be any traffic at all . fort Pitt bridge exiting the city is the worse . no easy way to get out of the city unless you live in the north hills.

[@CharlesWillisBonsai]

Wow. You were talking about how nice it is that people can afford homes there then immediately talk about how people can invest in the housing market. Real estate speculators and property hoarding landlords have destroyed housing markets in other cities and made it unaffordable for working people!

[@JacobParkYusuk]

Are there many Asian Americans in Pittsburgh?

[@robertlunderwood]

Beyond the areas close to the college campuses, no.

[@shaydelre1898]

Yes! In Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, Oakland, East Liberty. My dad is Chinese he used to own a restaurant here. It is a wonderful city!!

[@jdredwine7224]

5.8% up from 1.6% since 1990. Pittsburgh has some great universities and a growing tech scene has increased Asian population. Not the Asian population of the west coast or NYC, but growing.

[@BGVLOG11]

Hello

[@treavorsstudio7955]

Moving to Pittsburgh within the next month. A young black couple. How is the diversity? Heard a few stories and they seem mis leading I know it’s not the best question to ask but I have to. Do you think we would feel more uncomfortable or is the people very inclusive etc.

[@mikewallin6049]

Come visit Homestead we love it here!🌅😀

[@stinkhut4536]

It is very segregated and you will feel tension when walking in certain areas. It’s one of those places where you won’t get into a club because of what your wearing. Then you’ll see a white person walk in with no problem wearing the same thing.

[@mrman3523]

How you liking it?

[@balazsjanosdominko5603]

I heard there are a lot of furries and a huge music culture there, and looking at the comments, moving there sounds like a really good idea, maybe i will, does it have a broad list of Job opportunities?

[@livinginpittsburghpennsylvania]

Plenty of jobs!!

[@melvinsmith9292]

Philly traffic way worse than Pittsburgh.

[@ianwparedes]

Pittsburgh was also voted the worst place to live for singles, or just about anyone that wants a social life. you conveniently left that out.

[@tryingtolearn2876]

Seems like this a smart video, just from the title. I got do some things right now so can't watch this second but will when I'm done to make sure the important stuff covered. So just in case the girl doesn't reveal it and she's willing to put those coming from certain places in jeopardy just so she can make a commission I need to say If your originally from CLEVELAND, BALTIMORE, CINCINNATI AND NEW ENGLAND, don't bother coming, we don't want you.
