Beechview is a quiet neighborhood outside Pittsburgh. The main road is lined with shops and places to find food. One great thing about it is accessibility to downtown via the T, which is our local subway/train. One thing I would like to see change is more access to bus routes.

it could defiantly better, especially with the drug usage rates in specific neighborhoods, but it has extremely redeeming qualities also

It is a city neighborhood so of course there are drug problems and crime going on, but there is a lot of police presence so crime is very prevalent. Sure there are those weird people who hang around and kids roaming the streets but other than those its a great for kids to run around all hours without problems.

The crime is average. There is some crime, but it's not really visible.
