The further you get from the city, the more easily that's achievable.

One hour from Pittsburgh, there are lots of nice homes, some even with recent rehab work for $100K or less. Ellwood City, New Brighton, certain areas of Beaver Falls, Rochester, Freedom all come to mind. They won't be the most glamorous of neighborhoods but will be safe and amenities close by.

Places nearby like Wheeling, Steubenville OH, Weirton are all much more doable on your budget than Pittsburgh. Or far suburbs like New Alexandria or Uniontown

I live in Wheeling. Homes are much cheaper and driving to Pittsburgh is a breeze from here. I’m in Pittsburgh once a week, sometimes more.

I am not familiar with Moundsville, but Weirton, Follansbee WV and Steubenville, Ohio is less than an hour from Pittsburgh and much more affordable. It depends on what you want to be close to. I live less than 40 min from downtown Pittsburgh. I am 20 minutes to the airport. I lived in the city limits for a few years, it was nice to be close to shows, events, all the cool places but now in my 40's I'm not really as interested with all that.
