Pittsburgh Overview

"Pittsburgh aka ""The Steel City"" is the second largest city in Pennsylvania and among the top 20 metro areas by population in the United States. As of 2016, it has been over 200 years since the city was incorporated. The city is rich with history and offers locals a variety of enjoyment all year long, which makes finding your new home among the many available Pittsburgh apartments for rent - a must! "

What is the history of Pittsburgh?

While Pittsburgh’s first mayor, Ebenezer Denny, took his oath of office on July 9, 1816, the site that would become Pittsburgh was chosen by a then 21-year-old Major George Washington on Nov. 22, 1753. Pittsburgh was named in 1758 by General John Forbes, in honor of statesmen William Pitt, who was then the leader of the British government. Following the Revolutionary War, Pittsburgh quickly grew and became a base for settlers heading west from the headwaters of the Ohio River. Andrew Carnegie, the industrialist who created behemoth U.S. Steel, helped turn Pittsburgh into one of the greatest industrial cities in the world. During World War II, Pittsburgh’s steel mills worked 24 hours a day to produce 95 million tons of steel that helped propel America to victory.

How is the weather in Pittsburgh?

Pittsburgh residents experience all four seasons with winters that can be on the cold side and keep a snow shovel handy with an average of nearly 30 inches of snow a year. Things warm up a bit in the spring but expect at least three inches of rain a month. In the summer there is plenty of sunshine and it can get humid. Many natives favor the fall season with warm days, cool nights and beautiful colors to see around the countryside.

How do I get around town?

When you build a city on three rivers, you are going to need bridges and Pittsburgh has a whopping 446 bridges, three more even than Venice, Italy. Also a city of hills, Pittsburgh uniquely has two operating inclines or funicular railways, which use cables to pull cars up steep inclines. While there are walkable neighborhoods, you probably will want to have a car when you live in Pittsburgh. The Port Authority of Allegheny County, known simply as PAT, runs a system of buses and light rail. If you are headed out of town without your car you can use Penn Station for Amtrak service and Pittsburgh International Airport serves all the major airlines.

What is the Pittsburgh commute like?

When it comes to commuting in Pittsburgh you have to know your three “parkways”. Parkway East is I-376, which is the main highway that connects to the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-76). Watch out for the Squirrel Hill interchange, often the scene of traffic congestion. Parkway West is that part of I-376 that leads from downtown to the airport. Parkway North is I-279 which runs north to I-79. If you are headed for events in town, then I-579 or the Crosstown Expressway is often used.

What are the local media outlets?

Pittsburgh is the rare city with two daily newspapers with both the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and Pittsburgh Tribune-Review still publishing. KDKA-TV 2 (CBS) is constantly the tops in evening news coverage while WTAE 4 (ABC) has a ratings winner in the mornings. Other local news coverage includes WPXI 11 (NBC) and WPGH-TV (Fox). The world’s first commercially licensed radio station, KDKA 1020 AM, began broadcasting from Pittsburgh on November 2, 1920 and the news/talk station is still top five in the market. Other top stations include WPGB 104.7 FM (news/talk), WWSW 94.5 FM (oldies), WKST 96.1 FM (top 40), and WDVE 102.5 FM (mainstream rock).

Why live in Pittsburgh, PA?

Pittsburgh has been voted multiple times by publications such as The Economist, Forbes and Places Rated Almanac as the “Most Livable City” in the United States. The combination of affordable rent for apartments in Pittsburgh and good jobs paired with a vibrant nightlife and plenty of cultural events make it a trendy city to live in, especially for young people.

What Pittsburgh landmarks should I see?

" A must-visit in Pittsburgh is Phipps Conservatory. Visitors will find something new each season inside the 13-room Victorian glasshouse. Carnegie played such a big role in Pittsburgh’s history and the name is on two local must-see museums: the Carnegie Museum of Art and Carnegie Science Center.Those with more eclectic tastes should visit the Andy Warhol Museum on Sandusky Street which celebrates Pittsburgh’s most famous artist."

What is there to do around Pittsburgh?

Locals love their sports and they have two beautiful stadiums that have become Pittsburgh landmarks – PNC Park where the Pirates play MLB baseball and Heinz Field where the Steelers play NFL football.Pittsburgh residents never tire of the beautiful views of their city from Mount Washington. The area can be reached by incline and features bars and restaurants.

Any annual festivals or Pittsburgh events to know?

There are a number of festivals for residents of Pittsburgh apartments to get out and enjoy. Early June each year marks the return of the popular Three Rivers Arts Festival which runs for 17 days with art, music, food and other fun.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

There is so much to do in Pittsburgh that you really don’t have to leave the city but those that get away often head for Seven Springs Mountain Resort in the summer or winter. Just a one-hour drive from downtown, the resort offers zip-lining, downhill bike park and skiing and snowboarding on 33 slopes and trails. A slightly longer drive will take architectural buffs to Fallingwater, Frank Lloyd Wright’s National Historic Landmark masterpiece.

Where is the best place to move in Pittsburgh?

" Once you are sold on living in Pittsburgh the neighborhood choices are as varied as they are exciting. If you like a walkable location then the riverfront area of Lawrenceville, located northeast of downtown, is a great option. The area has a happening arts, music and singles scene. Many Pittsburgh residents enjoy the spectacular skyline views year-round as they call the Mount Washington neighborhood home. Chatham Village, on the south end of Mount Washington, is an example of the early 20th Century Garden City Movement. Millennials may prefer the East End neighborhood of Shadyside where Victorian mansions rub elbows with modern apartments. University students have made this area popular since the 1920s. Bar-hopping and great restaurants are right out your front door in the South Side neighborhood situated along the Monongahela River. The area is known for its funky vibe and people-watching. With a lower cost-of-living but easy access to downtown, Squirrel Hill is a population spot to live for both younger and older residents as well as families. The diverse area is home to more than 1,000 acres of parks. There are many more neighborhoods to live in including Bloomfield, Downtown, East Liberty, Monroeville, North Shore & North Side, Oakland, Sewickley and the Strip District.
