[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you interested in the city proper, or general metro area? There are nice suburbs in Pittsburgh with decent schools, but no way I'd raise my kids IN the city. There are a lot of great up and coming neighborhoods in city limits for singles/DINKs, but not young families. We considered moving there (DH is from Pittsburgh) but decided against it for that reason. [/quote]

OP here. I'm open to either, but would prefer a close-in/walkable suburb if I were to go that route. [/quote]

Shadyside and Squirrel Hill seem like great city neighborhoods for families in Pittsburgh. [/quote]

Raising kids in Squirrel Hill and can confirm.  It’s an amazing quality of life for a family.  We have everything we want/need within easy reach.  Raising a family in the east end is definitely the most expensive way to do it in Pittsburgh, but people coming from larger cities are pleasantly surprised.  We have a lot of suburban type amenities (big house, big yard, garage, etc) but we have the convenience of the city.  We do sent our kids to private school but, again, in Pittsburgh you’re talking $20-30k per kid instead of $50k. [/quote]
