Such a quiet reserved town with also a lot of business due to being right next to the freeway. So lovely great people and truly a great community.

Easy access to highway, grocery stores, parks, shopping. Great location for both first time home owners looking to still be close to the city and families in a neighborhood atmosphere. Not very walkable to any restaurants, coffee shops, etc.

It is a Borough with great policeman and great public employees. They have some great parks and activities that are well-received. The bus service to town is good and depending on traffic you're either 5 minutes or 50 minutes from town. Being located on the west side of the Fort Pitt tunnels is a big plus.
