Franklin Park as a small suburb community that all in all loves to help each other out and give back to one another. most people are extremely friendly, always willing to give a helping hand, and love to build good and healthy relationships with one another. We all like to make the area around us safer, cleaner, healthier, and happier. We take education, and our jobs very seriously. But, with that being said, we all like to come together and have fun too; whether it be at the neighborhood pool or neighborhood park. The standard of living here is amazing.

Wonderful area. Very safe, diverse, and calming. Great public school district, and good opportunities for student age people to get involved in the community
Family friendly area of the north hills of Pittsburgh. Safe, traffic free, and easy access to the major highways, allowing for a short 12 minute drive to downtown Pittsburgh
