I am thinking of moving to Pittsburgh, and I was looking at the apartment cost and it is so cheap? Whats the reason/catch?

the guy who said there is a lot of inventory and not a lot of people getting them.....
that's also part of my question...
why are not many people attracted to the city?

i think it's because western pa is still fairly rural, and although pittsburgh is a large city, it grew from the steel mills, which aren't there any longer.
pittsburgh is not a bad place to live. we love it. and most pittsburghers are kind and very loyal to their city and to the area of western pa they hail from. you can't compare it to nyc, boston, miami, la or even philadelphia. it's still a great place to live, to raise a family, or to start out in.
good luck.

Just like any city, there are areas where you probably do not want to live (the cheap ones are cheap for a reason).
Overall, Pittsburgh is a great place to live and work.
The only problem I have ever had in the Pittsburgh area is that the drivers slow down for tunnels. It is the weirdest thing I have ever experienced...no merging into fewer lanes, etc. just an unexplainable slowdown.
I am sure anyone on here from Pittsburgh knows what I am talking about!!!

when it get off the coasts, and out of the major us cities rent is cheap everywhere.
As far as Pittsburgh it is someone of lagging economic town-- and has been for many years. The weather is awful, there is little to do, ect ect ect...

There is a lot of inventory throughout the city, and low occupancy, so the prices are down so they can compete.

The same reason they are expensive in New York City.
Supply and Demand.

everything I've ever heard about Pittsburgh is the kind of thing that would make me want to stay away from there. Mabye it ain't hell, but sounds like some kind of an armpit to me.
