Franklin Park is a nice community that is clean and has a nice pool and golf course. The area is very green but is not easily walkable.

Great area to live. Very private but very close to downtown and shopping. Supermarkets are extremely close and good shopping. One of the best areas to live in the Pittsburgh area.

There is basically no crime in the area that I live in, sin the occasional underage drinking. But the police are very responsive and look after our community very well to keep it safe and sound.

Where I live is in my opinion one of the best places for any child to grow up. Not only do I live in an area with fantastic, nationally ranked public school districts, but in addition everyone here is extremely friendly, there are a lot of small businesses and places to hang out, and there is virtually no crime at all.
