We will look at cities that are just plain underrated. We will focus on specific neighborhoods that are walkable and bike-able to services and amenities within a reasonable distance. The 15 minute city in America?
What actually qualifies as Affordable? We will be looking at cities with average rent and median home sale price.
What qualifies as Walkable? The entire city doesn’t have to be walkable since that’s unrealistic but they must have at least several neighborhoods with a good walk, bike and transit score. The goal is to find an area within the city where you can absolutely live car free.

Pittsburgh is the perfect embodiment of affordable and walkable but I certainly wouldn’t recommend living here if you don’t like french fries inside your sandwiches.
The city's geography is truly striking. Pittsburgh is characterized by its scenic hills and the convergence of three rivers: the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio. With iconic steel bridges that span its three rivers.
These bridges often feature pedestrian walkways, allowing pedestrians to access different neighborhoods.
Pittsburgh's light rail system, commonly known as the "T," consists of two lines: the Red Line and the Blue Line. The light rail is an efficient mode of transportation for commuting within the city, and it also serves major destinations such as the stadiums, universities, and cultural institutions.

I grew up in Pittsburgh - I moved to Atlanta in in the early 90's. After living in Atlanta for 28 years I recently moved back to Pittsburgh and loving it! No place like Pittsburgh!

As a lifelong Pittsburgh resident I’m in love with this city. I never plan on moving from here just really like the uniqueness of the neighborhoods and the natural geography here. And I actually like winter so having all 4 seasons for me is huge.

My wife’s family is from rural PA so I’ve been a few times. I’m jealous of the tight knit community feel. The landscape is top notch. I don’t blame you for never leaving! Grass isn’t greener.

Green open spaces make cities more beautiful and more livable. Nature has a calming effect on people and provide habitat for wildlife.

Thanks for mentioning Pittsburgh. I gave one correction, the T actually has 3 lines. Red, Blue, and Silver (started in 2021).

You gave me the inspiration! After further research - Pittsburgh has great bones and a better natural landscape than Philly. Silver line eluded me somehow! Thanks for watching.

In the Pittsburgh area there are loads of walkable small towns too, I live in one. I still have to drive to do big box shopping and visit distant family, but for everything else, I walk, take my bike, and sometimes the bus. I think geography is the #1 thing keeping large amounts of the Pittsburgh area walkable. Because of the hills and rivers, development is much more difficult so people had to be smarter about land use. There is alot less big box sprawl in this metro area relative to others of a similar size. Because big box retail the #1 killer of walkability is much harder to build. I am of the belief that lack of walkability is an economic not an urban planning problem, as many places with no central planning are amazingly walkable. While big box sprawl is a product of planning.

You’re right about Pittsburgh’s topography - it certainly prohibits sprawl, which is nice. Lack of walkability occurs for so many different reasons. If it’s not planning then it’s something else!

Bicycles make you healthier and happier. Cities need to be walkable and have safe, protected bike lanes.

You should do my home city, Minneapolis after cleveland. It may not be quite as affordable as other cities, but it has the best bike infrastructure in the country and an incredible job market. Would love to visit Pittsburgh though
@cities4ppl

Oh have no doubt - Minneapolis is very high on my list. Very aware. I’m trying to dial in my video making skills before jumping into the very best affordable walkable cities haha. Thanks for the recommendation!

You should do Lancaster, York, and Harrisburg! according to Walkscore, they’re pretty walkable and affordable as well. come to think of it, a lot of cities and towns in Pennsylvania seem to be walkable.
