Best Apartments in Pittsburgh

I am looking to move to Pittsburgh in the summer of 2024 but I want to get a head start on my search for a new place.

Specifically, I am looking for a 1 bd/ 1 ba place close to downtown (doesn’t necessarily have to be downtown). I’d also like to find an area that’s safe and with younger people (mid 20s). I am currently paying about $1850 in a MCOL city so I’d like to remain in that price area.

I also have seen pictures of lofts which would be preferred but I know they can get pricey.. are there any specific apartment complexes worth looking into that match this criteria?
