I rented on the edge of Mt Washington for years. I bought my first house in Crafton Heights. I found houses in the neighborhood with partial city views without the drawbacks of Mt Washington. I don't have lost tourists asking for directions and tourist traffic driving. I also don't have to deal with rock slides, mud slides, roads closed, and driving up a cliff in the winter. I found the neighbors to be friendly and down to earth. The neighborhoods in a quiet location between Robinson and downtown without heavy traffic. I have a nice floor plan, central air, and large integral garage all under budget. I finished updates to the house.

I like the area, I feel safe. There's not much crime that happens on my street. I trust my neighbors that live next to me and across the street. I hope in the future more families will consider moving into the area there are places to eat and things to do that many people enjoy.

Crafton Heights is a great neighborhood if you want easy city access with suburban home amenities. The homes are typically smaller and newer than Crafton Borough with lower property taxes since you're in city limits. There are lots of long term residents including many professionals working downtown, police and firefighters.

Quiet town close to the big city of Pittsburgh. Great transportation. Police and EMS presence makes you feel safe and secure. Small homes with tons of character. Lots of sidewalks and trails to walk on. Many stores within walking distance.
