Our top moving tips when moving to Pittsburgh, PA

Pittsburgh is also known as Steel City as it was once the centre of the American Steel industry. However it’s economy has diversified markedly in recent decades into areas such as science, health, biomedical technology and finance.

Several Fortune 500 companies have a presence in the city including PNC Financial Services, The Kraft Heinz Company and PPG Industries. Google has also taken up residence in the former Nabisco factory. New Yorkers arriving in Pittsburgh for the first time, should know about other trends in the city including:

  • Cost of living. From housing to food, everything is more affordable in ‘the Burgh’ than New York and also 1% lower than the national average. The cost of health and housing here is also lower than the average cost for the state of Pennsylvania. If you’re a budding homeowner, local realtors estimate the current median purchase price at about $165,000, suddenly putting your dreams back within reach. If you’re not planning to buy, the median rent for a one bedroom apartment is about $720 a month. Pennsylvania also has relatively low income tates. While you will find a drop in the value of the average wage in this city, there’s downward pressure on every other cost to balance it out.
  • Transportation. Now that parking’s not such a problem, especially if you’re moving from New York City, you’ll probably want the convenience of a car to get around.Fuel prices are slightly higher than the national average, but that is consistent with any large city. Alternatively a monthly ticket for the public transit system, known as The Port Authority of Allegheny County, costs $97 at full fare or $48 at a discount.
  • Friendly and relaxed. It might take a while to get used to passers by wishing you good morning or neighbors being friendly but you can expect a far more laid back atmosphere in Pittsburgh. Maybe it’s all those rolling hills and rivers that keep them zen. There are 3 rivers running through the town: The Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio. There’s also a lower crime rate and of course less road rage with fewer people competing for space. While Pittsburgh is a city of just 300,000 people, the entire Metropolitan Area takes in 2.3 million people when you include other urban and rural neighbourhoods.
  • Education hub. Education is a major contributor to the local economy and the biggest education employer in the city is the University of Pittsburgh which has one of the nation’s largest research programs. New Yorkers will recognise the name Carnegie all over the city, including at the Science Centre, two Museums and the Carnegie Mellon University. Other major higher education institutions include Duquesne University and Carlow University. The district also operates 54 public schools serving 23,0000 children. There are also several private schools in the city including Oakland Catholic High School and Yeshiva Schools.
  • Serious about sport. Pittsburgh has genuine form in American sport history, having hosted the first baseball World Series in 1903 and the first professional football game in 1882. It has several professional teams including the Pirates, Steelers, Penguins, Riverhounds and the Steel City Yellow Jackets. If you never really got into live sport in New York, this is the place to do it.

    From start to finish my move was a great experience. I immediately got a quote. The scheduling was easy, and they provided me with information regarding insurance coverage (and took care of the paperwork my building provided). The move itself went like clockwork. The movers arrived on time and texted me when they were on their way with an ETA to the delivery site. They moved everything up the 3 flights of stairs into my apartment quickly and safely. A great company that provides great service at very reasonable rates.

    They were awesome! They take everything apart and then re assemble for you.They wrap up your tvs and glass shit professionally. They take the legs off your couch so it fits through doors. Everything's wrapped until it's inside so it doesn't ruin the paint on your walls if they rub against them.Not even a wine glass was chipped.

    They came at zero hour after the moving company I initially hired and paid a deposit to canceled. I was freaking out about my move not happening at all but they did get this done and my stuff arrived more or less intact and accounted for. They handled changes and snafus gracefully and earned their money. Hopefully I won't be moving again for a long time but if I get forced into that again, I'll remember this experience.

    Was very easy to call and set up a move. The price was good to. I had some mix-ups and needed to add items and even change the date, but they were able to easily accommodate. Day of the move the crew was super nice and professional. They quickly packed up the entire apartment with ease, I didn't really lift a finger. They made what is usually a stressful day pretty easy.

  • star star star star star

    I was amazed how efficient the guys were. they sorted out my items to be removed and, went straight to work. We will definitely use A Piece of Cake multiple times in the future until, we officially make the BIG MOVE! THANKS FOR YOUR HELP....YES, IT WAS A PIECE OF CAKE! NO STRESS INVOLVED...JUST SWEET SERVINGS.....

    Piece of Cake Moving was phenomenal to work with. From the initial sale, to the follow up, to the day of delivery. The moving crew themselves were a dream to work with. I honestly don't know how they managed to move everything we'd accumulated over the years in such a short (relatively) period of time. Will definitely use them again (in hopefully 7-8 years).

    Jose and his team did a great job moving my husband and I. They arrived on time and were very organized. They were professional, courteous and moved us quickly. They wrapped our furniture very well. They took apart and put together our bed and sectional couch. We were very pleased and would recommend them.

  • star star star star star

    Nicholas and Giga made this moving experience an easy one, especially since I was moving alone. They were punctual, kind and very thoughtful. When we arrived to my apartment? They helped unwrap all the packing tape and set up my furniture and bed - something that would take probably days for me. They delivered excellent service and went beyond my expectations.

  • star star star star star

    Excellent moving company. I hired 2 men for 2 hours to complete 1 bedroom move. They arrived early, were extremely efficient, helpful, personable, strong, and careful. They finished the job with 45 min to spare. Everything went extremely smoothly. I would hire Piece of Cake again.

    Great move with POC movers! I rented their pink bins which was an excellent choice, they provide plenty of packing paper, zip ties, and tags. My team arrived right at the start of their arrival window and quickly and safely packed all my bins and furniture into their truck. The team just as efficiently unloaded everything, leaving the bins in the labeled rooms and re assembling my bed frame. I definitely recommend renting their bins. I would definitely use Piece of Cake movers again and recommend them to a friend.

    The movers were so professional, friendly and quick. They took such great care of my stuff. I happened to move on one of the hottest days of the year and felt so bad. They were gracious and so still worked quickly. Pls make sure you tip your movers good, they work hard and were really great!

    I had made an appointment from another moving company that completely screwed me over the day of. I called every moving company in New York freaking out, and Piece of Cake was willing to come at 7pm to help me move, last minute. I genuinely don't know what I would have done if they didn't go out of their way to fit me in. Anytime in the future I will be using piece of cake moving! They boxed and unboxed so fast and efficiently, it was amazing!
