jeri Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Can anyone tell me about living there? This is one of the cities dh may get to apply to for work and he and I were looking at houses and schools. I know about the PA homeschooling laws, but now that kids are approaching high school, I want some good options. So, where do people live for good schools? Is Pittsburgh a "livable" city or do most people live in the suburbs for quality of life? We can't figure out where the houses for sale are on realtor.com since we can't figure out the relationship between suburb and city! Thanks. jeri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. jeri Pittsburgh is making lists in the last couple of years for things like great city to raise a family, affordable mid-sized city, top ten quality of life (affordable housing, access to culture, recreation and entertainment options, livability), you know things like that. I remember it as a steel town -- industrial, hazy, energetic -- but I think it's becoming a much more attractive city. Haven't been there in a while, but I thought I'd mention these lists because they've surprised me. Good luck to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My3Boys Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 When you are looking at houses, make sure you check out property/school taxes. We tend to have rather exorbitant school taxes here in PA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
