Remember how Pittsburgh was and still is largely unscathed from the "housing crisis" and how our market is the second most stable in the country and has a slow-but-steady appreciation year after year?
Well, some areas are appreciating faster than others, and the results may surprise you. Over the last decade, the Southside Flats and Slopes come in first place with an average appreciation of 10% and Lawrenceville a close second at 8%! Real estate prices higher in some places Quote:

Not that his word really means a whole lot, but President Bush once said he believed that the Pittsburgh region should become known as "knowledge valley" in reference to "silicon valley." Can you blame him, though?
