Pittsburgh Suburb Among Nation's Top 10 Most Popular Neighborhoods
A national realty website has ranked the nation's most in-demand communities. One of them is a Pittsburgh suburb.
PITTSBURGH, PA — If you're looking for one of the nation's most in-demand communities in which to live, you don't have to look far from Pittsburgh. A national real estate website has released its ranking of the country's top 10 neighborhoods and Mt. Lebanon placed third.
Economists at Realtor.com identified the top 10 neighborhoods by determining how many views each listing in those markets received in January compared with the typical U.S. home. Mt. Lebanon received just over three times the views of the typical U.S. home, making it the third-most in-demand neighborhood in the country.
The median list price in Mt. Lebanon in January was $383,725, well below the national median of just over $400,000.
