Living in Pittsburgh
Known as the cradle of American industry, Pittsburgh has flowered as a center of culture, high technology, and medical wonders. It is the city that gave us the nation's first radio station, Gertrude Stein, Martha Graham, Kenneth Burke, Andy Warhol, and Keith Haring.
A Livable City
Today, Pittsburgh is widely recognized as one of the nation's most livable cities. It is hailed as an international innovator in technology and health care. Pittsburgh is a safe city, with crime rates significantly lower than most other major metropolitan areas.
Diverse Neighborhoods
Its diverse ethnic neighborhoods, each with its own distinctive blend of restaurants, coffeehouses, and shopping, give Pittsburgh a friendly, small-town appeal, which complements its big-city attractions. Bustling neighborhoods such as the South Side, the Strip District, Squirrel Hill, Shadyside, and Bloomfield offer a wide range of diversions.
Cultural Attractions
Visitors and residents alike enjoy the ballet, symphony, opera, and a bevy of art and history museums, including the renowned Andy Warhol Museum. The city has vital and innovative scenes in theater, art, music, and film and one of the best used-record markets in the country. Pittsburgh also boasts a science center with Omnimax theatre, two amusement parks, an aviary, a zoo, and, of course, the Pirates, Penguins, and Steelers.
