Quiet and Relaxing Butler, PA 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 23, 2018) Living in Butler PA most certainly has a small town feel to it. There is always some kind of festival going on, which can be a fun experience for the whole family. Most venues are incredibly affordable, and I like the fact that I can take the whole family out on a modest budget a ...Read More nd have a good time. I personally prefer smaller towns like this, so it works out well.

Unfortunately, there is a bit of a drug problem out here in Butler. The high school is notorious for having drug busts consistently, and it’s something that makes us as residents a bit nervous as it can and will spread if left unchecked. However, I have confidence in the police to handle the situation.

Overall, I enjoy living here. Our town is quiet, the neighbors are peaceful, and there is always something to do, especially on the weekends. If you can get over the small drug issue out here, then you will find Butler to be a pleasant place to live. Read Less
