The residents throughout the neighborhood are ethnically diverse and always willing to help. The downtown section provides a lively surrounding and nightlife for residents and tourists and many find this attraction ...Read More quite the destination to be!

The summers kick it off with hot and humid temperatures that are anticipated by many. When I lived here years ago, I loved the cold and freezing winters, with occasional snowstorms and rare hail from time to time. Not to brag, but this is the type of climate many dream of having so no complaints here.

Nevertheless, the residents tend to live comfortable here especially with the affordable cost of living. To top it off with numerous cultural attractions and amenities, such as the Carnegie-endowed museums, the Pittsburgh Symphony, the PPG Aquarium and you cannot forget about the local zoo. Overall, this is an extraordinary town for working individuals and is an awesome place to start a family. Read Less
