I was born and raised in Beaver County. 30 minutes from Pittsburgh but far enough from the crime and crap of city living. Nice little towns, suburban areas, and farm areas. Nice parks and local events. If you must have strip malls you can drive 20 minutes to Cranberry or Robinson. Close to route 376 and 79.
@@fatboitino2 I was a mail carrier in 150 territory and a resident of a 151 old suburb in Allegheny County close to some of the communities shown in the video. Because of hills and rivers each neighborhood and suburb is like a small town. Sports are the great unifier.
The video is about SUBURBS. Anything in greater Pittsburgh constitutes as a suburb of Pittsburgh. That includes allegheny, beaver, Washington, butler, westmoreland, armstrong, and fayette county.
What you’re listing is outer parts of the city, not suburbs. I’m 59 and minus 3 years living in other states, have lived in Pittsburgh, and now in a suburb of this city, in my great grandparents 100 yr old home. Suburbs are Hopewell, Aliquippa, Monroeville, Cranberry Township, Wexford, Coraopolis, Neville Island, Moon Township, Greensburg, Mt. Lebanon and Bethel Park, to name a few. I think of Carnegie as city. Ditto with Crafton or the West End.
@@YellowFlowerofTexas everything except Hopewell & Aliquippa. Greensburg is 30 miles East and Monroeville is 18 miles East too. Kind of boring out there. Mt Lebanon & Bethel are too crowded for me. I live in west (Robinson, Hankey Farms, Imperial, Clinton, Hookstown which is 20-25 mi with a 8,000 acre Raccoon Creek nearby and Oakdale) and enjoy north (Cranberry, Wexford that are higher cost areas). Moon and Coraopolis are older descent places and more affordable. I’d avoid Oakdale as they get flooded a lot and it doesn’t take much water to make that happen. All state parks cost nothing to use. Good luck.
Take this as constructive criticism,... You had a map on the screen most of your presentation. You had a panel on the left side that was useless. It was taking up valuable real estate. Use your whole screen not taking part of it with a useless panel. Secondly, forget about your cursor to mark on the map. It's way too small and too difficult to follow. Use an on-screen marker with broad lines in order to highlight or circle certain areas you wish to speak about. Your approach of highlighting each region was good. But many of the things that you were pointing out on the map we're hard to follow because your cursor was too small. Just some observations to help you next time around. Thank you
The reason why we slow down near the tunnels, is, its safer for all involved. If there is an accident in or near the tunnels, that will screw up everyone's lives that are trying to use the tunnels & adds to the confusion when trying to navigate around them. Pittsburgh is a town known for "slow the 'F' down" Stop being in a rush, enjoy life - and plan ahead. Speed is the enemy... ALWAYS. With the use of Google Maps, you can plan ahead and be safe when changing lanes (because you WILL be changing lanes), just don't slow to a stop if your are confused. Just keep moving, and don't be afraid to pull off somewhere to gather your bearings. When you stop, you cause accidents... just stay with the flow and calmly pull off.
Heading to Pittsburgh next week to scope out the surrounding areas. Your videos have been super helpful to me as a Floridian looking to possibly relocate!
Thank you for the comment! I am glad the videos have been helpful. We have so many people coming from Florida recently! Let us know how you like the areas and whatever we can help with.
Listen I’m from Pittsburgh and moved to Florida..lived there for almost a decade..if u have a wife and kids you ll love it..just ember u take u everywhere u go…the grass is never greener on the other side
A super "under the radar" suburb that's AWESOME near Pittsburgh, is Bradfordwoods. Bradfordwoods is only about 20 minutes from downtown on the northwest side, and it's sooooooo pretty. Very wooded, very quiet, beautiful big trees, you'll feel like you're out of the chaos of a big city, but you're only 20ish minutes away. A true gem!
Sewickley is beautiful, but pricey. Coraopolis is nice for families. Bellevue is also safe and easy to get around. The traffic is not bad at these places and all have bus transportation.
@@PraveenSrJ01 I think it would be pretty good. You are within a twenty minute ride to the city/culture. There also is a large shopping center minutes away at Robinson town center. Sewickley has the Sweetwater Arts center, Coropolis a great nature rail/trails. Sewickley is more pricey and boutiquey. Cory and Bellevue are more affordable, also walking cities with an older, but quaint housing stock.
@@marial8235 thanks 🙏 I will definitely check sewickley out. It is probably better in a way than living in Cary, NC for 24 years since the 12th grade. I really need a change.
Hello I’m from Cali and want to move to an apartments near Pittsburgh. I was wondering if Perry town place near Ross township is a good place to live. Ty have a good day
I noticed that you rarely mentioned about Penn Hills. I wonder why... Is it because of the high crime area and crappy schools, or everyone from East Liberty, Homewood, Wilkinsburg, etc, are moving there... (If you are wondering why I mentioned this I grew up in Penn Hills!)
@@dandrecollier800 it’s a boring suburb. I’m not a fan of the South and East suburbs. I enjoy my west suburb and north of the city, more to do. Went I 79 North to Erie and still hold onto that thought.
Born and raised in Pittsburgh and still live here. I live in the East. Graduated from Penn Hills high school. Nothing wrong with the east. I feel like every neighborhood has had their issues. Some we don't hear about. The world has gone nuts to say the least 😂. Anyways, I have no issues with where I'm at which is not too far from Penn Hills. Cross one street and you're in another neighborhood 😂.
Excellent video. There are some walkable areas in the north hills - West View, for example is like a little slice of Pittsburgh's north side implanted into the north hills and surrounded by Ross Township. You can throw Bellevue, Avalon, Emsworth and those immediate surrounding river towns on there too, although some people don't really consider this to be the "north hills". All previously mentioned neighborhoods are early 20th century neighborhoods. For sure though, far less dense and walkable compared to the south hills.
We moved to Moon Township nearly 40 years ago due to affordability vs the South Hills recently our kids bought their first homes and ended up in the same area due to the same fact.
The East End and the Eastern suburbs have the most drawbacks. The Squirrel Hill tunnels are the worst way in and out of Pittsburgh and you MUST drive through it to go through it to get to the airport, and you are farther from the airport. Pittsburgh has no real commuter rail. The East and Northeast could use commuter rail. Property taxes tend to be less in surrounding counties.
My husband and I are seriously considering retiring to Pittsburgh. We need to find a safe low cost ADA compliant apartment, preferably near public transport. Does your company handle rentals at all? If not, what would be the best way for us to find one? Thanks.
Not a good place to retire unless you have family here. Winters are cold and can be hard to navigate in ice and snow. It's a very wet city in general and the prevailing grey skies can be depressing. Look elsewhere. I'm retired and moved back for family reasons a few years ago and I'm getting out.
Keep in mind too PA is one of the few states that have an Inheritance tax, which may factor into your estate planing. The Pittsburgh area is not the same as is used to be 20/30 years ago. Much more stressful with it’s never ending road constructions, over buildup of areas and lack in police presence at night in the city.
I grew up in Beltzhoover, which is next to Allentown and Mt. Washington. However that was in the 60's and 70's. I moved out at the age of 21 and now live in Kentucky. I don't like how that area has gone downhill! Sad to see. I have a sister who moved from Carrick to Brentwood in 2000. Nice area there to move to! I love your videos about the city I loved growing up in! But would hate to live there now that I am old, Because of the winters!🤣🤣👍👍. Keep them coming! Much success with your business!
I had to move from Knoxville due to persistent broken windows due to gunshots. I loved it there above McKinley Park, I saw deer everyday & 5 miles from downtown.
@@greg2976 I moved to Castle Shannon. I was born in Southside, grew up in Arlington & Carrick I have about 1/2 the space & my mortgage payments are almost double.
@@KateBates22zabu I had relatives who lived right across from the brewery on Jane St.! I worked at a cabinet shop at 2201 Mary st. It was part of the Brewery from 76 to 79. South Side from what I see has gone down hill. Even tho they turned into yuppie ville! I used to take the Castle Shannon streetcar out to the burbs when I was a kid. We would walk to South Hills Junction to get on it! That tunnel was always scary to me! Dark and creepy!
I appreciate your whole tour. I missed your thoughts on Baldwin and Whitehall, since that area seems an overall convenient location and close to downtown
I settled in Whitehall. Great location, quiet neighborhoods that are close in and convenient. Pretty much everything you need is right nearby. While it does not have direct T service, it's pretty quick and easy to get over to Castle Shannon for that, and then it's only about 15 to 20 minutes into downtown. The only thing I'm mad about is that, at least in the area I'm in, there's no sidewalks. It's worth noting that I don't commute, though. I imagine I'd probably be pretty annoyed with 51 and the tunnels if I did.
@@PraveenSrJ01 yes Brentwood has a racist reputation & what they did to Johnny Gammage is a racist hate crime Brentwood may have changed..I know of ppl who were arrested in Brentwood following their attempts to get rid of a black family by intimidation. This was mid 70's & FBI were involved. I see our bros & sisters all the time in Bwood now.
South Fayette Township is considered to have a great school district. The amenities aren't quite caught up to the new home construction. I go 28 miles to Weirton, West Virginia to get groceries and gasoline..both are cheaper in Weirton.
Avoid any community that borders a river with the exceptions of Sewickley and Oakmont (and possibly, Aspinwall). They are all former steel towns and are falling apart.

@@stephaniepersin4222 Disagree. Most of the cultural features, large and small, start at the Point and move east.

Pittsburgh is a dying city. Why hasn’t this place seen an explosion of new people moving in, with the cost of housing lower than most places. It’s because the job opportunities in this region stinks. You could find better job opportunities in Baltimore, even with all that crime it has.
Live about 20 miles south of Pittsburgh, it’s an old city but the city does offer entertainment if you want to fight traffic and pay for parking. Enjoy the scenic drive in with garbage along the road ways.

West View, Belleview, Avalon, for example, are all in the North Hills and all "walkable", like with any neighborhood, depending upon which street you reside. Additionally, those same areas, as well as parts of Ross Twp and the neighborhoods around those neighborhoods, are older. Much like the South Hills, the closer to the city, the older the neighborhood. The further north or south, the more recently built out/expanded. You also missed the entire 28N corridor, (Millvale, Etna, Sharpsburg, Aspinwall).

are girls from Pittsburgh beautiful like you? heard that the average age is older compared to other cities, is that true?
This city sucks
Women everywhere
Maybe just me but women that's as pretty are usually out of towners, at least what I think
Weird to put out there so bluntly on someone’s UA-cam channel. I would’ve kept that to myself 🙂
What happened to Sewickley in the west! Sham on you.
North Hills: sidewalks to nowhere !
Great breakdown! So thorough! Most amazing is that you seem to be speaking off the cuff, not off a script. So much knowledge!
It's TRAW-ley, not TROLL-ey :) (23:25)
Thank you!!
I came from Baltimore. I'm not impressed and actually pretty disappointed.
I prefer the Lancaster Area
To each their own, but in terms of crime and safety, you've left one of the most dangerous cities for one of the safer ones.
@@Runescape_God I certainly can't tell...
@@josephhoneyblue3847 Subjective observations are one thing, objective data is another.
@@Runescape_God So is Personal Experience is what ... Subjective or Objective 🤔 My opinion is not based on perception or other people's opinions but my own actual experiences.
Does that data include the police not working 3-7 am. And you Data is from the last census, so actually your "data" is incorrect because it's almost 4 years old.
So, sorry, I'll take my personal experiences over you "data" anyway 🤔
@@josephhoneyblue3847your opinion IS based on perception, via personal experiences. Yes, the no police response in those hours is stupid, agreed. And data is not wrong because it is outdated. We can wait for the next round of data and it’ll still show to be a safer city than Baltimore, but that’s not saying much.
I can't stand videos where the poster can't stand to be off screen for more than a few seconds. I came to see about Pittsburgh, not watch a 36 minute vanity selfie.
You really sugarcoated the east!!!
This girl does not know what she is talking about, fox chapel and shaler are different school districts

Just move to Orlando you'll be fine
Don’t do it
Please suggest ideal residential location for working at form energy 84 Pennsylvania Pittsburg
The word button is pronounced b u t t o n, not bu inn. Don’t forget the letter “ T”. It’s imporTant or it would not be included in the spelling of the word buTTon.
It’s Pittsburghese.
@@jeffallen4377 yuck, does not sound educated
I came I saw I left never to return
Born and raised here and will never leave..
You are not missed. Believe it.
Smart person.
Good riddance.
I really want to come back and live in Pittsburgh preferably murrysville in west Moreland county
West View, Belleview, Avalon, for example, are all in the North Hills and all "walkable", like with any neighborhood, depending upon which street you reside. Additionally, those same areas, as well as parts of Ross Twp and the neighborhoods around those neighborhoods, are older. Much like the South Hills, the closer to the city, the older the neighborhood. The further north or south, the more recently built out/expanded. You also missed the entire 28N corridor, (Millvale, Etna, Sharpsburg, Aspinwall).
