Characteristics

Transportation

Driving is very often the favored way to move around in this part of the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. It is especially convenient to park, and it is a reasonably short car ride to the nearest highway, such as Steubenville Pike, from any home in Robinson. On the other hand, Robinson is not very transit friendly. Nonetheless, the township is served by about 10 bus lines, and bus stops are not particularly far away from most residences. The bike is a fairly poor method of transportation in Robinson as the bicycling infrastructure is not very well-developed, and traveling by bicycle is rendered arduous by the typically steep topography. A majority of the houses for sale in this township are located in places that are also not very convenient for pedestrians as most daily needs are inconvenient to meet without a car.

Services

It can be challenging to get to high schools and primary schools from properties for sale in this part of the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. Locals have the choice between public and private schools at both the elementary and high school level. Concerning food, property owners in this township typically have to rely on a car to reach one of approximately 20 supermarkets. Residents of this part of the Pittsburgh metropolitan area benefit from over 150 restaurants as well.

Character

People who prefer a slower-paced atmosphere will enjoy Robinson. Robinson is very quiet overall, as there are low levels of noise from traffic near one of the railway lines, Raymond P Shafer Highway or Steubenville Pike. Most locations within the township have reasonably good access to parks, such as Trout Run Conservation Area and Pittsburgh Botanic Garden, since they are sparse. Still, there are over 100 parks nearby for residents to explore.
