Look at where the T line travels to the south of the city, and look for apartments along it (within a few blocks ideally).

The "T" is the name of Pittsburgh's light passenger rail system. It is the most reliable, affordable method of public transit in the city. It travels from the heart of downtown, to fairly remote suburbs in the south. There is a gradient of [cheap-but-sketchy] to [bougie-but-expensive] housing along it.

I lived in Beechview (City neighborhood- short ride outside of downtown on the T-line)…it was a great neighborhood with great non-stop Light Rail Transit north/south, along with very easy access to highways. In the day 20 years ago, housing prices were very affordable.
