[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone lived in Pittsburgh / can speak to what it’s like to live there? And more specifically, is it hard to “break in” as an outsider with no connections ?

(I’m not OP)[/quote]

I’m in a suburb of Pittsburgh. I would have loved to move to Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, Point Breeze area but my child with an IEP was older when we moved here and I didn’t want to take a chance with Pittsburgh Public Schools. That being said, it is super easy to get to the city. Much less traffic than the DMV. There are plenty of people who grew up here and have families here going back generations. But there are more and more people moving to Pittsburgh for jobs and we have found people here without local extended family to spend holidays with. Most of the suburbs have newcomers clubs. I belonged to mine for a few months but it was filled with people of all ages and some people made nice connections there. We really like it here and find people generally very friendly. However, I am the type of person who doesn’t need to have a million friends and I don’t really care what people think of me - so there’s that lol. Overall, it’s a great city with lots of different neighborhoods and lots of great suburbs with differing price ranges and great schools.[/quote]
