It's beautiful here and somewhat secluded, even though it's close to everything. Having two parks in close proximity makes it a dog lover's paradise. It's also cool to be able to walk to a few great restaurants.

We are on our second house in Point Breeze and we could not imagine living anywhere else. PB is like a fairy-tell... Clean, Friendly, Best Parks In Western PA, Local Amazing Restaurants, Coffee Shop, Doctors Office, Dry Cleaner, Vet (s), Mature Trees, Block Parties... I could go on and on and on... There is simply no better place to live in Pittsburgh.
