Based on your question, your situation, and fluctuations in crime around the city lately, I’d consider Greenfield. You’re in the city where transportation is decent, beyond the tunnels for if/when you get a car, near squirrel hill for great eats but reduced price, lesser crime than similar areas as of late, & not considered to quite cross the threshold of trashy. Runner up alternatives that don’t meet all of the same criteria: Bloomfield or Dormont.

Dormont and surrounding neighborhoods are decent in general

not cheap & higher crime but good for transportation within city .. to me you’re either overpaying or in a trashy building with a lot of shady stuff going on depending on the street

Interesting. What’s a reasonable rent for you for an apt in a decent neighborhood?

I'm not the person you're asking, but the answer to your question is going to vary wildly. If you let an agent ream you or use something like Zillow a one bedroom apartment will be over $1,000 a month. If you know how to use craigslist/marketplace and know exactly where you're going you can get a two bedroom for $700
