Ok, so what part of the city is your job? And will you need to use public transit? Do you want to close to night life? Pittsburgh rental prices vary greatly on which neighborhood you choose.

Ah yes, should’ve specified. I’ll be attending Carnegie Mellon for grad school. I’ll have a bike but no car. Would prefer to be within walking distance of CMU, biking would be alright too

Great! You want to be Squirrel Hill, Shadyside areas. Those are pricier but very nice. Squirrel Hill south prices are less than Squirrel Hill North. Greenfield is close and cheaper than Squirrel Hill/Shadyside but a bit farther from CMU. These are all east end. Busses in the east end are better than any other section of the city.

Thank you so much!! Think I’ll be able to find a reasonably nice 1 bd for $1300-$1500 per month in squirrel hill or shady side areas?

I think so. I’d start looking sooner than later. CMU, Pitt, and several other colleges will have grad students hunting as well. Good luck to you and congrats on being accepted to one of the finest universities in the country!
