Hey everyone, You can expect to pay around $694 for rent here. Crime rate is something to consider -New Kensington sits at 529.6 per 100K. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Worth the trade-offs?

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem challenging.
I've been here 12 years and it exceeded my expectations. The thing nobody mentions is housing market. It's established and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the public transit is legit. And if you're into mountain biking, this place is improving.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Old Town side vs the Greenfield side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Happy to answer more specific questions..

I work in government here and it's improved dramatically in recent years. The job market for my field is improving. No regrets on my end..

Came here for my partner's job and stayed because it's exactly what I was looking for. The outdoor recreation is honestly tough and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
