Current Resident: Bellevue is an absolutely lovely neighborhood just on the edge of Pittsburgh. The area has had a lot of new developments in recent years and has a great emerging bar and restaurant scene. There are community groups that put on farmers markets, festivals, etc. Bellevue is really turning a corner and becoming a great, and for now still underrated, place to live. Could not be happier with my decision to move here.... Read 26 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: 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. The school is very nice and has a good reputation and you cannot go more than two minutes for a walk and not have someone smile or say hello to you.... Read 4 reviews

Current Resident: Green Tree is a very safe, welcoming environment with friendly people. It is a very peaceful neighborhood with many job opportunities and places to explore. Our stores are all in walking distance, and every street is well maintained. In the eighteen years I have lived here, I have never felt unsafe or at risk. My borough has given me the opportunity to gain experience working with kids through the Summer Recreation program and learn about possible career paths for myself, which not many other boroughs offer. The people who live here genuinely care about each other, and we all do our best to make our home the best it can be. Green Tree has given me an ideal childhood, with a great education and countless fun activities, and I have met some of my best friends here. I wouldn't wish to live anywhere else.... Read 14 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....

Current Resident: I have grown up in Bethel park and all I can say as a Black girl is that it is alright. There isn’t much fun in Bethel, you would have to travel to the south side of Pittsburgh, Bridgeville, or the city to find something fun to do. As far as the schools, Independence Middle School and the high school specifically, there could be a lot more done to make students of color feel more welcome and accepted. The teachers try but something has to be done by the school board to really push bethel into being more accepting of diversity. Bethel Park is relatively safe in terms of violent crimes but there are definitely drugs going around, hence the high school’s nickname “Heroine High.” Though its mostly pills nat going around nowadays....

Current Resident: We bought our first home in West View and really like the area. It's close enough to downtown that the commute is minimal, but it's still a suburb. It's conveniently located 5-10 minutes from McKnight road which is incredible. Although, I would love to see revitalization of the main business district/strip, as well as the shopping plaza. I could definitely see the area boom in the future if those two areas acquire more upscale stores, as well as more restaurants and healthier food options. There are also a decent amount of smoking bars in West View...

Parent: We switched to Sheridan during the pandemic joining a small community that focused on the safety of our children while limiting the disruption to their education. The administration did a stellar job. What truly stands out is how well rounded a Sheridan education is. In addition to the more traditional academics, its arts and music instruction as well as its focus on diverse communities through the student clubs is truly exceptional. We chose a K-8 school because of the added focus on the middle school years which can be difficult transition years. As the school skews young the older kids don’t grow up too fast. This is a gentle school. Middle school students mentor the lower school students. My son loves his mentor and he looks forward to becoming a mentor to a lower school student himself. Finally, Sheridan is a school that builds confidence. In 7th grade, students lead their own high school selection under the guidance of their teachers. This is incredibly empowering!...
