    "Lots of college students in the area. It’s typically safe, but sometimes a little rowdy. Most people are respectful and it’s a more diverse part of the city. "

    "Shadyside is immaculately kept up. The public areas are clean and safe at night. I'm a small woman and feel safe walking alone at night. There are a lot of families here, and even though we are surrounded by colleges, the neighborhood has much more if a "family" feel than a "college" one. I love Shadyside!"

    "The classical architecture that is a throw back to the turn of the century when Pittsburgh was at its industrial height. The shops and restaurants that are a mix of local and national. The lovely gardens that leave a fragrance in the air. The friendly neighbors."

    "Shadyside is a beautiful and safe neighborhood. I’m a lifelong Pittsburgh resident and I want to note that the neighborhood is Shadyside. Please note that “west” is only directional and not an official neighborhood designation. "

    "If I could afford to live in Shadyside, I wouldn't choose any other neighborhood in the city. It's just the best in all ways: several huge parks nearby, minutes from universities, enough parking (though it's tough sometimes), tons of shopping, restaurants, and most of all the people who live there really care about it. This is Pgh's "chic" area. Very cool and urban but not uptight. If you're going to live in Pittsburgh, live in the east end - and from there, if you can afford it, live in Shadyside."
