Yuck, wanted to leave immedicately. 1 rating By Anonymous ( Feb 19, 2019) Came in for a pick-up sporting event. Could not leave fast enough. Everyone was make fun (my teammates) of the city. I can sum it up by a question to me: how did you turn out after coming out of this place. Answer: I left. Yet my team wanted to do something. Literally, we ...Read More just left. A concrete ghetto to kids who also come from small towns. I guess fast food, dive bars, tattoo and vape shops does not impress anyone - especially after you drive down main street and literally cannot find one unique anything to blow 30 minutes on. My team cut the city from our sites and it says a lot. Read Less
Total disconnect between residents and leadership. 1 rating By Anonymous ( Feb 19, 2019) Empty store fronts. No upkeep, few outdoor opportunities for kids. Under performing schools. No jobs. Increase in crime and drugs. And, as odd as it seems, a rude and crude population - just so unworldly - if you lived anywhere else you will want to run away. If not for th ...Read More e County Building, the city would be exactly like dead (not dying) cities all over SWPA. Forgotten.
Local government just does not know better (the born and bred (inbred, types) or who just does not care. So, if you are educated, progressive, you will really feel out of place.

Lots of Options in Greensburg 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 23, 2018) We have really good schools. This was my primary reason for relocating to Greensburg because the schools are great. The academics, sports, and extracurricular activities are great. The teachers at the elementary school are very welcoming and understanding of my child's needs.

...Read More I love the joy of living in a small city but having tons of amenities that keep my family busy. Westmoreland Mall has a lot of stores that fit my needs. We also have a lot of small shops in the downtown area. I love to walk around, enjoy a coffee and do some early morning shopping. Downtown is very peaceful and relaxing. There are several grocery stores to choose from including Aldi, Walmart, and an Organic grocery store.

The parks are plentiful and we have several fitness centers including Satya Yoga. I am a fitness fan, so I love to work out in the park in the summer and do Yoga throughout the year. Greensburg has a lot of things to do and I'm happy to call it home. Read Less
