    "Great place to raise a family. Pretty low key area, not much night life in Avalon so it's pretty quiet. The neighboring community Bellevue has a little more night life to offer. (Mostly restaurants) A lot of hills, so walkability is a little rough, although this is Pittsburgh what do you expect? 15 minutes from downtown and about 10 minutes to the new casino and stadium area on the North Shore."
