Pittsburgh: The Power to Change Perceptions

From steel town to the high-tech center, Pittsburgh is a perfect example of perception vs. reality. In just a few decades the city has transformed itself, not just surviving the tectonic shifts that altered the industrial landscape, but thriving as a key player in a global economy.

And Pittsburgh has done it all without losing the unique features that have always made it a special place to live and work. With its family-friendly atmosphere, great schools, and leading-edge health care, this seamless patchwork of distinct neighborhoods is among the most livable in the country.

The list of attractions is growing—and growing more sophisticated. Restaurants featuring every kind of cuisine—and ambiance—are springing up everywhere. You’ll find eclectic galleries and world-class museums; pro and college sports; research universities; the confluence of three rivers; the beauty of four seasons; and a reasonable cost of living.

Getting to work is easy. Getting away from it all is a breeze.

A city of bridges and tunnels, hills and rivers, Pittsburgh is also easy to navigate. Public transit runs the gamut from light rail vehicles that travel from southern suburbs to downtown and beyond to the incline that climbs Mt. Washington.

And whether you live in the cozy suburbs or in the vibrant downtown, you’re close to every form of recreation from boating to basketball, from a day on the golf course to a night at the opera.
