Current Resident: McMurray has a hometown feel that I'll miss even when I leave for college. I've lived here my whole life and I've grown to appreciate the public library, the many thrift stores, and the Montour Bike Trail that have been around for as long as I can remember. It's a great place to live because everything is within a short drive and jobs are up for grabs due to the labor shortage everywhere.... Read 18 reviews

Freshman: Sewickley Academy is an exceptional K-12 school! I have been attending SA since elementary school, and I have now attended the school for 8 years. All of the teachers and faculty that I've interacted with throughout my years here have been extremely friendly and supportive, and the aspect that especially stands out here is the welcoming students and inclusive school culture. At SA, there are so many opportunities from athletics to arts to technology, and because of this, students are able to pick classes that allow them to pursue their personal interests. Because of the small class sizes, teachers are able to work with their students one-on-one if they are struggling in a certain class. For all of these reasons, if you're considering attending Sewickley Academy, I would definitely recommend it!... Read 125 reviews

Current Resident: I've lived in Marshall Township since I was 7 months old. The residents are friendly. Over Easter during the coronovirus lockdown, local firefighters and police drove through all the neighborhoods in a parade of cars and trucks with the Easter Bunny waving and hitting their horns so that everyone could come to their front doors to watch and wave. My family was very touched by this as it brought the community together while we all had to stay apart. We have the onramps to both the turnpike and main highway just down the street. We are about 20 minutes North of Pittsburgh so easy to get to the city. Must have a good reputation as houses sell very quickly when put on the market. Overall I think that Marshall Township is a great place to live.... Read 38 reviews

Current Resident: I love that Aspinwall is such an inclusive community. There is so much to do, so many sights to see, and infinitely many amazing people to meet- all without leaving the perimeter of the town. Everyone knows each other, and changes are being made every day to grow Aspinwall into the best community it can possibly be. Some of my favorite things about Aspinwall is the local yoga studio I attend, being able to walk to my job, and both of the parks in the town. Everything is within walking distance, and there are various places for people to interact and become happier. Additionally, Aspinwall is very clean, and each citizen who lives here does their part to keep the town beautiful. All in all, I love it here, and I wouldn't trade my small town for the world....

We all like to make the area around us safer, cleaner, healthier, and happier. We take education, and our jobs very seriously.

Our school district is one of the best in the state, and conveniently, walking distance from our residence.

Current Resident: Upper Saint Clair is a great community. The schools are amazing filled with great teachers and resources. The tennis courts and gold course are walking distance from the high school, which has just been renovated. It is close to 1-79 and only 20 minutes from downtown with no traffic. There are tons of great cafes and food options in Upper Saint Clair. The people in this community work hard and smart. They strive to make each other better, which really forms a community. The mall is the best in the area and has tons of stores. During the pandemic neighbors would honk horns, wishing happy birthday to others. The community truly became stronger after the pandemic. Upper Saint Clair is a great place to live. The police department regularly drives by and makes sure the community is safe at night.... Read 40 reviews

Current Resident: After moving in the fourth grade a couple little towns over to Ben Avon, I was very anxious about starting at a new public school and trying to fit in to such a nicer neighborhood, in terms of financially and aesthetically. However, I later found how tight knit the community is and just how kind and social everyone in the neighborhood is.

Neighborhood in Pittsburgh, PA
Current Resident: Regent Square is one of my favorite neighborhoods. It is set away from the city living and feels more like a suburb in close proximity to the city living style. The neighborhood still has a great selection of restaurants and coffee shops and is situated next to Frick Park. Pet owners are highly welcomed in this neighborhood. Also, the neighborhood has just amazing trees that makes it feel very nature-focused. It is also located near bus transportation and convenient to commuting to Downtown. Two major drawbacks are the public schools (K-12) and the high property taxes for an owner (about $5k per year per $100k in house value. Yes, expensive!) Safety is pretty decent, but I would make sure to lock your car doors every night. Even to this day (2018), items are stolen from vehicles in street-parking when doors are unlocked. I do not believe there are break-ins in any vehicles or homes.... Read 13 reviews

Current Resident: Great place to live. Local shopping has all the amenities needed for the essentials. Located right off Interstate 376, we are close to crowded suburbia but far enough away to maintain a tranquil lifestyle. The Blackhawk School District graduates are prepared for success in college. The Township abuts a 2000 acre county park that has a lake, ice rink, tennis courts, and miles of trails for hiking and mountain biking. The Chippewa Police Department actively patrols my neighborhood and provides a visible deterrent to any potential criminal activity, The area is very safe and while not recommended you really have no need to lock your residence doors. Its a terrific area for families and retirees. Most kids flee the nest, but years later they return to begin raising their families.... Read 14 reviews

It is nicely situated North of Pittsburgh, close to North Park and other necessary business districts (such as the malls along McKnight road and the storefronts along route 8). The environment is clean, the houses are nice, and the people in general are very friendly.

The enriching opportunities are endless in academics, arts, athletics, and service, which provides a well-rounded education and cultivates respect for others, confidence, and the joy of discovery. Faculty, students, and parents are incredibly welcoming and friendly. I grew up in the DC area and assumed a different experience. However, the modern-day folklore that lingers — nothing could be further from the truth! Everyone I've met is genuinely kind, caring, and helpful.
