We rent a townhouse in the Hickory Hills plan. It really is a decently spacious place with an automatic garage. Friendly office, great maintenance staff, AWESOME location right off McKnight and Perry Highway. Don't have kids but is in the North Allegheny school district which is one of the best in the country. Plumbing and appliances are a little on the cheap side, but not bad. All in all a great place. Which brings me to the cable and internet.. \r

yikes... seriously, this could turn in to an expletive ridden rant, but I digress. There is only service by iSpeed which is some mom and pop cable and internet service where they basically steal DirectTV with satelites, and pipe it in to the homes with shoddily run cable. The HBO looks like you're either wasted or watching it through a fish tank. The internet is worse than the cheapest DSL package available which is around 18 bucks or so, but they charge you $60!! Unless you also purchase their other SCAM telephone service which brings it down to a mere nut cracking $50. Rip. Off. Seriously, it's horrific. I am not being dramatic. iSpeed should be reported.\r

If cable, land line phone, and internet service don't really matter to you, by all means move here, this place is wonderful. But honestly, that's why were are moving as soon as we can and why I gave it at least a 1.5 point deduction.
Pros: Location, staff, price, nice Townhouses
Cons: Cable, Internet, phone, iSpeed is TERRIBLE, plumbing/appliances a little cheap
