What does Pittsburgh have that Minneapolis, and Burlington, VT don’t? Plenty, according to the LaBalme family, who relocated from San Francisco last fall. “Pittsburgh is one of America’s undiscovered gems,” says Elaine LaBalme. And she should know—after a comprehensive, eighteen-month, nationwide, city search landed them in the walking district of Mt. Lebanon.
Elaine and Fen LaBalme, both professionals working from home, knew as their young son, Steven, approached school age, they would have to leave their beloved San Francisco and settle their family in a more livable city.

Wow, this article really hit home (no pun intended). In 2002, my wife and I went through the same process of weighing where we wanted to lay down roots. We opted for Pittsburgh over Washington D.C. and Davis, CA.
This area is indeed one of the best kept secrets in the U.S. We all are getting a great deal here in Pittsburgh and Mt.Lebanon!
I enjoyed this article too. Greg and I moved here from Baltimore for the schools and the beautiful neighborhoods. We have lived in Detroit, Mesa, and Baltimore and we think Pittsburgh is tops!
