Beaver Reviews

Write a review about Beaver Tell people what you like or don't like about Beaver…
Worth a look only if you are old or grew up here 2.5 rating By traveler ( Nov 01, 2013) Charming town center with some eclectic shops and restaurants. No bars - it's a dry town - but that keeps crime low. No real attractions in the area.

Folks are very cliquish - all of Pittsburgh is (and as a native Pittsburgher who has lived elsewhere I can get away with saying ...Read More that) - and many are 2nd and 3rd generation. So if you "ain't from here" you'll never quite fit in.

School district is very good. Traffic in this area is non-existent. It's about 30 mins to the airport and 45 mins (w/o traffic) to downtown Pittsburgh.

Not horrible, but again, would not recommend moving here if you are from out of town. Read Less
