    Cranberry Township, PA is a nice suburban area right outside of Pittsburgh,PA. Cranberry Township has really expanded the past 40 years or so from farm land into a bigger city with plenty of businesses. Cranberry Township has plenty of nice stores that you can go to so you can get what you need and also because there is so many businesses their is A good opportunity to get a job. Cranberry Township also has a couple of nicer parks that are good to enjoy when the weather is nice. The area overall is nice and has plenty of different things you can do. My only compliant is sometimes because Cranberry Township is located right off the highway, traffic can be rather busy. But Cranberry Township is working on a 5 lane highway to help traffic flow better. Overall, Cranberry Township is a nice area that is contiuing to grow.

    There are many things to do in Cranberry Township. There are golf courses in Cranberry Township and nearby. There are great public parks that include a waterpark, baseball fields, tennis courts, beach volleyball, picnic areas, walking trails, and a disc golf course that is currently under construction. There are many restaurants and eateries, a movie theater, and shopping areas. The only thing I would change is the traffic.
    Very busy/ active city with friendly people. Great small and locally owned businesses, many places to shop, eat and simply hangout. Very safe and beautifully designed city.
