Sheraden

• Neighborhood in Pittsburgh, PA
• Rating 3.48 out of 5  27 reviews

Current Resident: Its rumored that a Pittsburgh Steeler has been buying commercial real estate in the area. Whether or not the rumors take fruition the neighborhood has some great sections with suburban feel in the city. The new Roxian theater is easily accessible from Sheraden. Black Forge Coffee and Smittys are great destinations. The new Karpeles Manuscript Museum just moved in the neighborhood. I'm excited for what new developments the future brings!...Read 27 Reviews

Nearby Resident: East Liberty is constantly growing and changing every month. The East Liberty Development Group is doing a great job with changing the landscape of this lost shopping district. The company has revamped East Liberty into a new shopping, eating, and living space that has totally revived the community and the adjoining neighborhoods. Everything is in close proximity.

Elliott

• Neighborhood in Pittsburgh, PA
• Rating 4.25 out of 5  4 reviews

Current Resident: This is a great often overlooked affordable city neighborhood. It holds many similarities to neighboring Duquesne Heights and Mt Washington. The views along the top of Lorenz Ave, Rue Grande Vue St and the West End Overlook are spectacular! Rue Grande View Street is laid out identically to Grandview Avenue running along the edge of Duquesne Heights and Mt Washington. The closer to the edge the nicer the homes typically are. Take a picture at the overlook and people who don't know better will ask if you're somewhere on the mount!...Read 4 Reviews

Penn Hills Township

• Suburb of Pittsburgh, PA
• Rating 3.26 out of 5  85 reviews

Current Resident: There are some problems with the roads but overall, it's a great place to be! The neighborhoods I've been in and driven through are all pretty safe. There are crime watches and police/firefighter locations pretty close to almost all areas in the Township. The restaurants and markets aren't too shabby either. Plus, Penn Hills is pretty close to Monroeville Mall, which has it's own assortment of stores. There haven't been any crazy natural disasters. Sometimes it snows a lot. The only big problem may be that the school district had a scandal that may cripple the potential for parents to find a school with a clean and good standing reputation. There's a lot of diversity from my experience than a lot of other schools. I'm not into nightlife so I can't comment on that. The affordability is lacking but the real estate market is pretty good. There are a lot of jobs to be found. However, many of them are more on the entry-level side. It's 30 minutes to Pittsburgh which is great! Overall nice!...Read 85 Reviews

Crafton Heights

• Neighborhood in Pittsburgh, PA
• Rating 4.14 out of 5  22 reviews

Current Resident: Crafton Heights is a great escape from city congestion while still being in city limits. Housing stock varies by street. There are a number of housing plans such as the City Acres plan worked into the neighborhood. Many homes have amenities like double city lots, finished basements, garages, central air, and unique architecture. There is low income housing geographically separated from the neighborhood that slightly skew neighborhood statistics. Property taxes are pleasantly low compared to Crafton Borough...Read 22 Reviews

Stanton Heights

• Rating 3.63 out of 5  8 reviews

Current Resident: My neighborhood is a comfortable place to live in. Our street which I live on is very safe and the resident who live here has been here for many years. Where we live is close to all areas stores and shops. Monroeville and North Hills are only 15 minuets away. Local grocery stores are near. Best neighborhood to live in. Also local schools are near. Good neighborhood to walk and exercise . What I would like to see change is that more people get involved with keeping a light on outside of there home and letting official know if strangers or vandalism is being committed .Look out for each other...Read 8 Reviews

Pittsburgh

• City in Pennsylvania
• Rating 4.3 out of 5  735 reviews

Current Resident: Pittsburgh is an excellent city with a lot of pride from those that live there. There is so much to do in this city such as: attend sporting games, visit a museum, take a ride on the incline or a boat, and my personal favorite: lots of food! Pittsburgh is also home to the Pittsburgh zoo, Sandcastle water park, Idlewild, and Kennywood. These are some popular tourist attractions filled with fun things to do for the whole family, especially in the summer. One down side of Pittsburgh is the parking. I wish there were more parking garages to help ease the stress of finding somewhere to park in the busy city!...Read 735 Reviews

Swissvale

• Suburb of Pittsburgh, PA

Current Resident: Swissvale is a pretty nice place to live. It is convenient. There is great access to public transportation as well as grocery, shopping, and entertainment. The school district, Woodland Hills, is a bit troubled. I know the school board and parents are working hard to get it back to greatness. The police and fire department both are pretty good a responding to emergency calls. Also, there are some resources available such as the food pantry and in the summer the farmers market. I'd say it's good on a scale of I haven't lived too many places but this is one of the best I've had...Read 16 Reviews

McKees Rocks

• Suburb of Pittsburgh, PA
• Rating 3.16 out of 5  31 reviews

Current Resident: It's an old area that gets a bad rap, but people will talk your ear off and give you the shirt off their back. There is a lot of spirit and pride here. I see a movement to modernize (not gentrify), with the Roxian Theatre, Black Forge Coffee, the Parkway Theater, and Abjuration Brewing all becoming established...Pros: An easy 4 mile drive to downtown, quick accessibility to shopping areas in Robinson and Ross Townships. Many areas in Stowe Township have affordable and well-built brick houses. My neighborhood is super quiet. Also home to Pierogies Plus, Mancini's Bakery, Doughboys Pizza, and Ricci's sausage. Enough said. Cons: School district is struggling. Like everywhere, there is crime. I'd say it's mostly centered in the lower areas and seems to be drug & petty theft related mostly...Read 31 Reviews

Clairton

Former Resident: I grew up in Clairton and back then which is over 50 years ago, it was a very booming steel mill town. Clairton has 3 movie theaters, 3 large grocery stores, scores of mom and pop stores, and a large student body at its high school. We had 3 public elementary schools and one private school. What I would change about Clairton now is the lack of employment and activities for the people...Read 12 Reviews

Current Resident: I moved to Stowe township I live in a beautiful house on a quiet friendly Street. My surrounding neighbors are very polite generous and kind. There are no disturbance or loud noises during the day or night. I enjoy sitting on my porch in the evening with complete silence. There are so many stores, pizza places, Mancini's bread, all in walking distance. The streets are clean and quiet. I'm very satisfied with the choice I made to move into this house myself and my three sons...Read 10 Reviews
