We moved to greenfield in our late 20s prior to having kids. We have been here for 5 years and can comment on the section of the neighborhood that’s close to the giant eagle and squirrel hill. We love it.

Pros: -could afford a house with a yard. We have a big vegetable garden and so do a few of our neighbors, which is cool. The value for money is still very good, especially compared to other parts of the city.

-easy to get everywhere via car. close to 376 so can get basically anywhere very quick, including downtown, Lawrenceville, etc. Easy access to waterfront for all your suburban shopping needs.

-walkable. We can get to GE in 5 min by foot. Squirrel hill is a 20 minute walk, but we walk there very frequently in good weather even with our kids. Close to both frick and schenley parks.

-the two parks with playgrounds are nice. One has a community pool.

-the views are fantastic!!!

Cons: -the business districts immediately in greenfield have so much potential but just aren’t that great. I’d love some nice coffee shops, for example. Maybe a bakery. Etc.

-housing stock is very hit or miss

-hills—hard for biking.

-I wish there were more trees.

Spring FEELS like it’s just around the corner, but it definitely will snow in April!

I really thought that shady and Forbes had a four way walk already? Maybe it’s active only at certain times of day?

I’d add that I’d love a direct flight to LA that isn’t spirit…

It’s such a great practice. I wish I could find a PCP practice for me that was as excellent!

We love, love, love Dr Parker at bass wolfson in squirrel hill. Dr ahn is great at that practice too.

The part of greenfield that’s close to Murray av is very convenient for bussing to Oakland. If driving or biking, the commute over the greenfield bridge to get to CMU/pitt is fantastic and very fast.

Can’t speak for the slopes, but greenfield is a lovely place to live and there are a lot of grad students here (although many rent). Quiet, close to suburban-style shopping, and some parts are within easy walking distance of the squirrel hill business district. Also very good access to 376, which can get you a lot of places pretty fast.

We get ours from peoples and it’s around the same cost, but I believe also covers our gas line too (they often have bundled deals). Make sure to check coverage amount as they are usually capped—ours is 10k.

You can also check with your home insurance company and see if you can add one to your policy.

Same with submarines.
