Relocating to Pittsburgh? Welcome — you’re joining one of the most livable, affordable metro areas in the country. The Mike Pastor Group helps relocating families land here every year. Here’s the overview we share with every out-of-town client.

City, North Hills, South Hills, Or East?

Greater Pittsburgh breaks into a few broad zones. The city itself — Squirrel Hill, Shadyside, Lawrenceville, Highland Park — offers walkability and character. The North Hills (Ross Township, McCandless, Wexford, Cranberry Township) pairs strong schools with easy I-279/I-79 access. The South Hills (Mount Lebanon, Bethel Park, Upper Saint Clair) is classic suburban Pittsburgh with top school districts. East along Route 22, Murrysville and Monroeville give you space and value.

What Does It Cost?

Most of our relocation clients buy between $200,000 and $500,000 — a range that covers everything from city rowhouses to four-bedroom suburban homes with a yard. Compared to most coastal metros, your housing dollar goes dramatically further here.

How To Buy From Out Of State

We run the process remotely all the time: video tours of every candidate home, honest feedback about what the camera doesn’t show, local lender and inspector referrals, and coordination around your moving timeline. When you fly in, we make the days count — a focused tour of pre-vetted homes, not a scattershot weekend.
