When you see Pittsburgh, it's easy to understand why this historic city hosts nearly four million visitors every year.

As the largest inland port in the country, Pittsburgh provides access to the nation's 9,000-mile inland waterway system and features 720 bridges within its limits.

It's no wonder people are always coming and going in this vibrant, energetic area. With so much happening, you'll never run out of things to explore.

Making your home in Pittsburgh is equally rewarding. In fact, it's consistently ranked among Rand McNally's "Top Ten Most Livable Cities in North America." The city's cost of living beats similar metro areas at 30 percent below the national average. Home prices in Pittsburgh are pleasantly surprising as they are priced well below those in comparably sized cities.

Pittsburgh takes academics seriously. There are three major universities and over 10 colleges in the Greater Metro area. Numerous high schools, parochial schools, and private charter schools offer high-quality choices for students to learn.

Beyond housing and education, Pittsburgh's eclectic blend of cultures has given rise to an array of restaurants - from the finest dining and haute cuisine to the coziest family-owned establishments, brat-and-burger joints, and the truest taste of the city - Primanti Bros., famous for their "Primanti Sandwich" where french fries come on the sandwich, not with it.

Station Square, the Andy Warhol Museum, Carnegie Science Center, Three Rivers Arts Festival, Kennywood and Idlewild amusement parks, and many other family-themed attractions offer exciting opportunities to interact and explore the community.

The best sports rewards of the 'Burgh are delivered in the form of 12 world championships. Our city cheers on three major sports teams throughout the year: the Steelers, Penguins, and Pirates, who have combined to win 5 Super Bowls, 2 Stanley Cups, and 5 World Series trophies since 1909.

Local singer/composer, Jimmy Sapienza, calls Pittsburgh a big-time city with a small-town heart. Simply put, it's just a great place to be.
