      One of the safest towns in Pittsburgh. Where everybody knows your name. 20 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh. Low crime rate. Friendly people. Great school district.

      Very quiet neighborhood located in Fox Chapel school district. There is a lot of job opportunities including the industrial park and St. Margaret Hospital. There is plenty of shopping and dinning options close by at the Water Works Mall.
