Overview of Pittsburgh

Home to the Pirates and Steelers, Pittsburgh is a city filled with houses for rent. Long connected to the steel industry throughout its history, the city found itself changing as that industry shut its doors. That led to the city adding new bars, restaurants and sports complexes, including PNC Park, Heinz Field and Consol Energy Stadium. Those complexes are home to professional teams but also host athletic competitions, touring Broadway shows and live concerts. Once you make your move, you might also appreciate the Rivers Casino, which boasts card games, slot machines and other casino games. Chatham University and several others colleges have campuses within the city limits, and the population of Pittsburgh expands each fall as students move in from other parts of Pennsylvania and across the country for school. Some of those students save money sharing homes together off campus rather than living in a dorm. When you start your search for houses for rent, you'll come across some set up specifically for students with multiple bathrooms and shared bedrooms. With Rent.com's amenities search feature that lets you decide which features you must have in your next rental home, finding houses for rent in and around Pittsburgh can be easy.

Searching for Houses in Pittsburgh

The type of house you rent often depends on your lifestyle. Younger professionals prefer townhouses and condominiums downtown or within walking distance of downtown. These buildings feature multiple units placed side by side and/or on top of each other, which means you share walls with your neighbors. You'll also find private homes for rent that are perfect for families and those who love their privacy. Some of these homes come with a front and/or back yard, and some landlords will even agree to maintain those yards and lawns for you. Houses for rent in Pittsburgh start at around $600 a month, but some larger homes with more bedrooms can cost up to $1,000 or more.

The city features many different neighborhoods, some more appropriate for families and others for singles. Check out this Rent.com blog post for tips on what to look for and how to choose your next neighborhood.
