We will look at cities that are just plain underrated. We will focus on specific neighborhoods that are walkable and bike-able to services and amenities within a reasonable distance. The 15 minute city in America?
What actually qualifies as Affordable? We will be looking at cities with average rent and median home sale price.
What qualifies as Walkable? The entire city doesn’t have to be walkable since that’s unrealistic but they must have at least several neighborhoods with a good walk, bike and transit score. The goal is to find an area within the city where you can absolutely live car free.
Walkable Neighborhoods in Pittsburgh, PA

Bloomfield
Lawrenceville
Pittsburgh is the perfect embodiment of affordable and walkable but I certainly wouldn’t recommend living here if you don’t like french fries inside your sandwiches.
The city's geography is truly striking. Pittsburgh is characterized by its scenic hills and the convergence of three rivers: the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio. With iconic steel bridges that span its three rivers.
These bridges often feature pedestrian walkways, allowing pedestrians to access different neighborhoods.
Pittsburgh's light rail system, commonly known as the "T," consists of two lines: the Red Line and the Blue Line. The light rail is an efficient mode of transportation for commuting within the city, and it also serves major destinations such as the stadiums, universities, and cultural institutions.
