Local MLS
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is frequently listed among the nation's top cities for millennials, and for good reason. The former steel capital and birthplace of Andy Warhol has a relatively low cost of living, good public schools, world-class academic and research institutions like Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh, world-class museums (including the Warhol), and a thriving art, nightlife, and music scene.
It's about an hour's flight from both New York and Washington, D.C., and has a median home listing price of $219,900, making it one of the most affordable housing markets in the country. That market is expected to climb exponentially over the next few years, so if the Steelers are calling your name, and Pitt's calling you with a job, there's no reason to say no. Here's a taste of what's out there.

Other highlights include a carriage house with an au-pair suite, a gorgeous butler staircase, and elegant chandeliers throughout. The Squirrel Hill neighborhood is one of the most popular in Pittsburgh, thanks in part to its proximity to both Carnegie Mellon and Chatham universities. The house is listed for $1,675,000.
