Swissvale is great, so long as it isn’t on/near Woodstock Ave. It’s very community oriented and close to the city, and just as safe as any other city neighborhood. I’m shopping around in Swissvale as well, I can tell you anything near Swisshelm Park, bordering Edgewood, or within the confines of Regent Square are where you want to be. Go too far down Monongahela Ave and resale value decreases.
