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.

Point Breeze is pretty cash money. Its super safe, robberies and stuff do happen but like you can walk around at night without worry. The community identity isn't very strong but there are a couple events like the point breeze yard sale
