Where is the best place to live in Pittsburgh? To find out I scraped thousands of Pittsburgh homes using a combination of Zillow API and Allegheny County Real Estate Portal to collect over 8,500 single family homes with 22 attributes each. This allows a thorough comparison of each neighborhood in Pittsburgh. Additionally, using a linear regression I find which neighborhoods have the best deals in price per square foot. A gradient boosted Random Forest model allows accurate prediction of housing price.
