Characteristics

Transportation

Moon is a very convenient township for getting around by car. It is very easy to park. It is difficult for pedestrians to move around in Moon because few common errands can be run without the use of a car. The bike is a somewhat poor method of transportation in this township as the cycling infrastructure is not very well-developed, and there is a significant amount of hills.

Services

It is a reasonably short trip to get to primary schools from any location in this area. On the other hand, home buyers may find it challenging to get to high schools without a vehicle. Besides public schools, there are private elementary and high schools. In terms of eating, some, but not all, house buyers in this township will live within a short distance of one of approximately 20 grocery stores. A small number of restaurants and coffee shops can be found as well.

Character

Home buyers who prefer a relaxed ambience will enjoy Moon. Most areas in Moon are very quiet, as the streets are usually very tranquil closer to Airport Expy, Parkway W, the airport (Pittsburgh Intl) or the railway line. It is sometimes hard to get to parks in the township since they are distributed sporadically. Despite that, there are over 100 green spaces nearby for residents to relax in.
