There is something for everyone in Green Tree with affordable and more upscale houses and apartments available for rent. As its name implies, Green Tree is verdant and is filled with tree-lined streets and parks. Green Tree Park is a local favorite for its excellent sports facilities, off-leash dog park, and playground.

Easy access to highway, grocery stores, parks, shopping. Great location for both first time home owners looking to still be close to the city and families in a neighborhood atmosphere. Not very walkable to any restaurants, coffee shops, etc.

Green Tree is a great community with a small town feel. Great access to the city of Pittsburgh which offers sports teams, cultural events and awesome colleges.

Just okay. It's generally safe and the houses can be very nice. I'd feel more favorably toward the borough if not for two things: 1. The public schools are horrible. 2. A lot of the people around here are pretentious without reason to be. I have some lovely neighbors, but I also have a lot of REALLY rude neighbors, a problem I've never had anywhere else. It's ridiculous. As for the schools, bullying is rampant and the education is mediocre. If the students were nicer then it wouldn't be quite so bad. I recommend avoiding Green Tree, to be honest.

Most of the things are close to where I live and everyone I have met so far has been friendly. Everyone has been helpful when I have needed them. The stores are, for the most part, within walking distance. It has been a little hard to find work however.
