I own two properties and currently live in (on) Mt. Washington and couldn't ask for a better area. As a young adult, you are close to everything Pittsburgh has to offer - minutes from downtown, south side, north shore, south hills, station square, etc. Getting to work for me and my girlfriend is a breeze. The night life is surprisingly on the rise, with tons of college kids and young adults flocking to Shiloh St. every Friday and Saturday night. The only thing missing is a gym, but being 5-10 minutes from South Side and other nearby spots, it's not much of an issue. I haven't witnessed or heard of any serious crime issues since moving here two years ago, other than having my car broken into (nothing stolen or broken) once, which sadly seems to happen everywhere these days. Can't speak on behalf of schooling systems, but for a young adult with real estate interests, I can't imagine a better place!
Great trendy location with spectacular views, great walkable restaurants and homes with character. It's a great spot for a young professional. Typically the closer to the edge the nicer the homes. There are some nice quiet streets towards the back of the mount if you want to avoid tourists. The only rough spot to avoid is Beltzhoover Ave and the area bordering Allentown. If you see a crime report from the area 9/10 times its from there.
I lived on the Duquesne Heights side and felt pretty safe. There are lots of house flips being done here. Some are being done well and others are slapping trendy fixtures over a mess. Many homes have foundation issues from old mines collapsing. The end along Allentown and back of the mount is pretty high crime. The closer to Grandview Ave the better quality homes typically are. Rockslides mudslides and winter weather can make it tough getting up or down. There are other nearby neighborhoods you can get more for your money without the problems. I ended up getting out for nearly Crafton Heights
