Fun young neighborhoods?
I am a late 20s single woman from PA with no kids who is very interested in moving to Pittsburgh--if I can ever get a job there!
But a few months ago I was at a random party in a Pittsburgh neighborhood, and it had a really fun bohemian feel. Loud music wasn't a problem (it was a weekend), and random oddball neighbors kept popping in. It wasn't a college area but had a feel of youth and freedom and definitely was not a "quiet neighborhood" or "family friendly" area, but it also felt safe like it was not a bad or dangerous neighborhood. I'm not sure what the area was called but wanted to see if there were other similar feeling neighborhoods close to the city? I just need ideas on where to search for when looking at housing.
Thanks!

Look at:
South Side Flats
Lawrenceville (Butler Street)
Shadyside (East of Aiken)
Bloomfield (Liberty Ave)
The Strip (Below 28th)
Maybe
Mt. Washington
Oakland

ajl777 - Let's not be a completely obvious TROLL! but atleast be somewhat Objective, rather then totally submerged in you own Bias of Hate.

That's hilarious because it's soooo true.
S. Oakland = hey, i am a not from Pittsbugh and thus I didn't know how dangerous and dirty this side of town can be.
Pittsburgh doesn't really have a thriving young singles scene, IMHO. Or at least not the kind you'd find in a bigger city. For the most part, people come here, get their degree and move on.
