Niche Reviews Niche logo

Sitting on the banks of the Allegheny River just minutes north of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the Etna and Sharpsburg boroughs may be separate entities, but the neighboring boroughs share common identities. Residents of both boroughs share a thoroughfare and frequent each other's restaurants, such as Luca's Pizzeria and Jimmy G's Restaurant. Both boroughs feature an urban neighborhood feel with apartments and single-family homes mixed in with warehouses and businesses. Although neighbors, the boroughs' home school district affiliations are separate. Sharpsburg children attend within the Fox Chapel School District, and Etna children attend within the Shaler Area School District. Each borough prides itself with its own weekend outdoor activity including visiting the Sharpsburg weekly farmers' market open Saturdays from June to October or the Etna sponsored Garden Club.

It's a great safe neighborhood and the people are friendly! I love the new river front park. Etna is an art city and has some little shops. Divertido is my favorite place to shop.

Etna is a cozy place for new families just starting there lives to live. Etna is a growing little community, Main Street Etna is starting to grow with coffee shops and art galleries with many community events that happen about once a month.

It has the potential to be a close nit community. Too many shops open and close within a year. very small town
