I've lived in Etna for four years now and every year it gets nicer. The schools are good, people are friendly, houses are being renovated. It's a safe place to raise a family with fun local events and friendly neighbors. Honestly, it's a slice of old school America.

I've lived here for 27 years. It's getting better, but it's always been a crappy town with mostly drunks/drug addicts. Hopefully it continues to grow and change.

Crime in the past year have started to increase a little. I definitely do not feel safe walking around at night, especially in the lower parts of the borough. The police aren't always around, but if needed, they respond quickly.
