I love living in Monroeville because I have a young child and theres lots of nice parks, an accessible trail nearby, and the local library has a lot of activities. We also have a nice sized yard and house which is really why we wanted to move to the suburbs. School district is also more diverse than most suburbs around here.
Monroeville does have some local restaurants, lots of chains, and theres quite a bit of shopping. We have the Monroeville Mall, but it's definitely dying. There's also the Monroeville Convention Center which always seems to have random things going on.
With that said, I don't think I would want to live here if I had to commute into the city. I would probably move to a northern suburb if I had to commute downtown.
