Rental properties are killing my home value. 3 rating By Chris wilson ( Jul 14, 2017) We bought this home because of the school and because the kids could walk to school, the movies, their friends houses, the stores etc. That's where the old begins and ends. Now that the kids have grown its time to go. We have, over the years, watched the neighborhood turn in to a ...Read More rental haven. Drug problems, unsavory renters, absentee landlords, code enforcement issues, blind eyes turned over and over. The town itself won't admit there's a drug problem but worries if you want to pave the boulevard. Conflict of interest with the board but it's the old boys club, it's all about saving face. How many times can the police arrest the same person before the landlord gets warned? How many tenants can one landlord rent to that get arrested before the landlord gets cited? Isn't there a law on how many rentals one town can even have? I think we've reached our limit! The point is, the home town feeling is gone, what we wanted and once had for our children has faded for greed. Oakmont the Great is crumbling, home values are falling, get them and flip them like everyone else is! Read Less

A Commuters Nightmare and don't get me started on the smell 1.5 rating By littleadvice ( Oct 11, 2015) I recently sold a home in Oakmont. It was a financial disaster. Oakmont has a reputation as a decent place to live... but...
The commute into and out of Pittsburgh a whopping 7 miles away is a nightmare. Repairing the Hulton Bridge does nothing to fix that. It is by no means a co ...Read More nvenient location to either get into or out of Pittsburgh (which is loaded with wonderful neighborhoods) or to the airport to escape once in awhile or to the towns across the river.
In addition when you have a heavy rain, the smell of the raw sewage that dumps directly into the Allegheny River leaves quite an impression.
The restaurants are over rated as are the bakeries. You have endless traffic. The newer homes do not hold their value.
The old neighborhoods up the hill do offer a decent place to walk and the smell does not waft up there. The library is terrific as are the folks in the Post Office and the quaint one screen movie house is nice as well.
I would if I had it to do all over again buy something directly in the city or over in Mount Lebanon... steer clear of Oakmont is my opinion. Read Less
