So my fiance and I found a nice little house out in Clairton that suits most of our needs. It’s on Thompson Avenue, but I don’t know the area too well. It’s about 2-3 minutes from fmfkid250’s shop. Can anyone give some advice on the area good or bad? ---

Personally, I would not feel comfortable living in Clairton, however maybe I have only been in the bad parts of Clairton ---

ummmm… if you don’t know the area, then i’d go there and really look around. there are a few places that are more than fine for the area… and some that i would never live in… flyinglow should be pretty good for spotting good vs bad areas… maybe? ---

camp out on the sidewalk for a few nights. If you only get mugged a few times, it’s probably a nice area. ---

That part doesn’t seem too bad. That’s about a 1/4 mile from my wife’s ex’s house. I’ll ask him specifically about that street, but I don’t suspect it’s much different. ---

im from right next to clairton wilson area i am not too familiar with that part of clairton because that is way on the opposite side from where i was at. ill ask my brother what he thinks he is always up in clairton. the schooling isnt good so thats one thing to remember about having kids. if you decide in the future. private or move. the one part of clairton that i was thinking about able to live is not near that area. wilson has some decent homes. but personally i wouldnt live up “on the hill” what that is considered just looked again. thats what they call “up by the stadium” thats a pretty bad area. ask anyone that knows anything about clairton. ---

I have been over there for about 3 months . From what i can see so far it doesent seem to bad where my shop is. Houses are cheap over that way. They are cheap for a reason I guess. Its in an overall good location no matter where you are traveling to.
