Pittsburgh is One of America's Most Livable Cities: Walnut Capital Helps You Make the Most of It

Dreaming of a city that feels like home the moment you arrive? Welcome to Pittsburgh! Recently ranked the #8 most livable metro area in the U.S. by RentCafe, our steel-town-turned-innovation-hub has mastered the art of livability. From career growth to community vibes and plenty of healthy food options, Pittsburgh has everything you need to live well—and Walnut Capital is here to help you find the perfect home in this amazing city.

What Makes Pittsburgh One of the Best?

Livability is more than a buzzword; it’s what makes a place truly special. RentCafe analyzed 139 U.S. metro areas across 17 factors like cost of living, lifestyle amenities, and community connection, Pittsburgh stood out as one of the top spots to call home. But what’s the secret sauce (besides Heinz) that makes the Burgh so lovable?

Here are just a few of the factors that helped Pittsburgh claim its spot in the top 10:

  • A Thriving Community and Culture: Pittsburgh boasts a high number of college-educated residents and a dynamic social scene, with theaters, music venues, and arts spaces in every corner. There’s a unique sense of camaraderie that you feel here – one that only grows as you get to know your neighbors and favorite spots. It’s like living in a sitcom, minus the laugh track!
  • Healthy Living Options: The city is home to an impressive number of healthcare providers and offers numerous healthy food sources. Whether you’re craving a fresh salad or a hearty pierogi, you’ll find plenty of options to satisfy your appetite while keeping your wellness in check. It’s easy to find a balance between work and well-being in Pittsburgh, with grocery stores, farmers' markets, and sustainable food options readily available.
  • Strong Economic Opportunity: Income growth and a steady job market make Pittsburgh an appealing city for those looking to put down roots, build a career, and enjoy a stable lifestyle. After all, who doesn’t want to live where opportunities are as abundant as the steel that built this city?

With its charming neighborhoods, lively social scene, and abundant resources, it’s no surprise Pittsburgh has earned its reputation as a livable city. But finding a home here means choosing the right space, and that’s where Walnut Capital steps in.
