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.
