Life in the Inflated Apple got you down?
According to a new study, the most affordable city in the country is barely a half day’s drive away — hours closer to home comforts than the current hotspots popular with fleeing New Yorkers.
Say hello — and maybe move to — Pittsburgh.
Currently boasting a median house price of $274,900, the mostly-former steel town remains comfortable with its blue collar roots, while also leaning into a uniquely quirky, artsy heritage — this is the birthplace of Andy Warhol and a training ground for a young Keith Haring, home of Fred “Mister” Rogers and the backdrop for the 1980s gauzy teen dream, “Flashdance.”

I’d be very careful where I would live in Pittsburgh. No welfare recipient addresses.
In Cleveland, the T’s are silent when the city is mentioned by name.
People are friendly and down to Earth here. The City has changed, a LOT, since I was young. So has the country as a whole. Interesting trivia: more steel was supposedly made here in the Pittsburgh metro area during World War II than in the entire nations of Germany and Japan.
One thing in Pittsburgh’s favor is that you can find outstanding health care there...just about as good as you’d find in Boston/NYC/Baltimore/San Francisco.
I hear Love Canal in NY is cheap.
Born and raised in southeast suburban ‘Burgh area, and have no reason or desire to go back. But I’m sure it’s better than NYC.
Lol! My opinion too. I grew up in NYC and had the misfortune to live near PGH for a couple of years as an adult.
No comparison. The only thing I liked there or near there was Falling Water.
Nobody wants to live in a faded city where it rains all the time and the highway system was never built to modern standards because the population began to decline BEFORE the Interstate Highway System was established in the 1950s.
Young should chime in.
Yunz
The blast furnaces of my young youth are long gone.
Plus, you can get an email address at “stealtown.com”.
Try Cincinnati.
I visited Pittsburgh once, back in 2008. It was nice enough in the daytime. When the sun went down I couldn’t get back to my hotel fast enough.
If you should run into a golden-haired angel. Gotta be more than a few of them there.
No no no no NOOOOO.
We don’t want yins here.
Leave us alone.
Go to Cleveland.
Here’s a test...
If Pittsburgh is a city no longer reporting its crime stats to the FBI, you don’t want to live there.
Well, lookee here...
Nope, wouldn’t move to Pittsburgh.
Nice try, Deep State!
“while also leaning into a uniquely quirky, artsy heritage “
Same old same old. Not unique. Woke assholes in all likelihood.
