Is Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania a good place to live? How is the quality of life?

Downtown Pittsburgh is compact and charming, hosting corporate centers, a cultural district, hotels, and great restaurants, as well as a state park and several stadiums just across the river. The city is surrounded by tree clad hills and small towns, each with their own unique feel. The winters aren’t as bad as they once were, but be prepared to go weeks without seeing the sun. Pittsburgh is in the top 5 rainiest cities of the US, and summers can be hot and humid. The people are nice and there is not a lot of crime. It’s safe from earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, tornadoes (for most part). Be prepared to see a lot of wildlife in the urban suburbs, as they inhabit the hillsides where there are no buildings, such as deer, turkey, coyote, and the occasional bear. Great place to raise a family, with lots of parks and outdoor activities available. The cost of living is very reasonable, and housing is still affordable.

I would probably say that someone who is trying to move to Pittsburgh should ask himself whether he has good and healthy lungs. Pittsburgh is infamous for its polluted air from the factories that have historically been present in the city. Other than that, Pittsburgh is quite lovely. Lot of things to do, I recommend visiting it.
