A friendly suburb outside downtown Pittsburgh

There’s a lot more to life than taxes and death. And there’s a lot more to Bethel Park than it being Andy Warhol’s final resting place. Bethel Park is full of life with coffee shops, bars, restaurants and parks. The walkability is low due to its landscape but gives neighbors a sense of privacy, says Michele Belice, a Realtor with Howard Hanna Real Estate Services who has worked in the area for over two decades. “It doesn’t have that urban feel; You won’t be able to walk to get coffee, but you get the peace and quiet of suburban living,” she says. In Bethel Park, people want to know each other. “People are friendly with their neighbors, and a lot of people have been here a long time,” says Marsha Timblin, a circulation assistant at the Bethel Park Public Library. “They go to the same stores. They go to the same churches. Lots of different organizations work together when it comes to helping out people in the city.”

Drop cans off at Andy Warhol’s grave

Bethel Park promotes togetherness at its Summer Spectacular, a Fourth of July fireworks event. In the fall, South Park Community Day includes a parade, games and plenty of food vendors. During the Halloween season, the nearby Hundred Acres Manor is what’s largely considered one of Pittsburgh’s most compelling haunted attractions. Not quite as spooky is the gravesite of Pop Art icon Andy Warhol, which brings a steady stream of art enthusiasts throughout the year. They come and leave soup cans and other gifts to commemorate his most famous works. “There’s a smattering of gifts people have left. If you haven’t been up there, you should take a trip,” Timblin says. Thanks to a camera streaming Warhol’s gravesite 24 hours a day, it’s easy for people to see the grave from the comfort of their homes.
