Relocating to Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh is a rejuvenated community nestled at the junction of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers in the rolling hills of Western Pennsylvania. It boasts three professional athletic teams, the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Pittsburgh Pirates, and the 2016 Stanley Cup Champions the Pittsburgh Penguins, not to mention the strong local support of the University of Pittsburgh Panthers. It has marked cultural diversity from the collection of Old Masters in the Carnegie Museum of Art or the Broadway musicals presented by the Civic Light Opera to the world-class Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. Recreational activities are easily accessible including camping and hiking in nearby State and National Forests, fishing and boating on the three rivers and surrounding lakes, whitewater rafting in Pennsylvania or nearby West Virginia, or downhill skiing an hour's drive from the city on Laurel Mountain. The city is a patchwork of ethnically diverse neighborhoods with a very reasonable cost of living and an open and friendly populace. Pittsburgh is a "big" little city where both urban sophisticates and small-town folks can easily feel at home.
