Point Breeze itself is a beautiful area. Close to Chatham University and Shadyside and walking distance from Bakery Square. However, it is close to Wilkinsburg and Homewood, which are not so great areas.

We are on our second house in Point Breeze and we could not imagine living anywhere else. PB is like a fairy-tell... Clean, Friendly, Best Parks In Western PA, Local Amazing Restaurants, Coffee Shop, Doctors Office, Dry Cleaner, Vet (s), Mature Trees, Block Parties... I could go on and on and on... There is simply no better place to live in Pittsburgh.
