Thank you so much for your reply Kelly! Maybe you could suggest me good neighborhood to move to, it's one of the biggest worries I personally have about moving back to Pitt. Honestly I still haven't seen all of it but what I think I know for sure is that I want to avoid living in suburbs and try to find something a little close to the city which seems to be a challenge right now as I'm checking online realtor websites, prices are much higher for places near downtown. We will be moving with a toddler so that adds to my worries even more, I want to find kid friendly place where certain amenities would be in a walking distance! That was one of my biggest problems , since my husbands family lives in suburbs I literally couldn't go anywhere by food! That was a huge challenge which made me even more homesick that I would normally get. I just don't want to repeat the same mistakes and settle in the are which is not cut off the civilization sort to speak And yes! It would be great to meet you when we all are there! I could surely use new friends : )

There are a lot of little neighborhoods in Pittsburgh. In the city you could check out Squirrel Hill, Highland Park, Morningside, Point Breeze, Regent Square, Mount Washington. I grew up in the smaller town of Sewickley. It is about 15 miles outside of PGH, but it is a village not a suburb. It has its own little town center and was very walkable and connected to PGH by a great bus line. There are lots of little villages like this outside of the city center.

I'm American - from Pittsburgh and have been living in Belgium for 11 years. I never got over being homesick, but learned to enjoy my new home too! Once you move abroad, you end up with your heart in two places. We are about to move back to Pittsburgh ourselves. I grew up there and love the city, and even though I have lived in many other countries and cities, nothing ever really compares to Pitt! There is so much to offer and a huge international presence!

I hope you settle in to your life there quickly! Maybe we will see you there
