Need Recommendation for a Realtor

No realtor recs but wanted to chime in on schools. As another response mentioned...Pine Richland and North Allegheny are much better than Shaler and Seneca if quality of education are important. I can't speak to how they are for special needs families though. I also recommend Hampton. It is an awesome school (#3 in the State!) and it is small and will stay small. The rest of the schools are huge. North Allegheny is awesome for education but is gigantic and Pine Richland (where I live) is supposed to grow by 53% by the time my first grader is in high school.

Heartland Homes are very nice...good choice there.

Good luck to you.

Hi B.,

My name is L. and I am an interior decorator and I work with an interior designer who is an expert in accomodations for the elderly and for people with disabilities. As you are building your new house, that would be the ideal time to install items that will make your life, and the life of your child, easier. My friend and I will be able to work with your builder to give you the home you need with wider hallways and doors, a walk-in bathtub, and many other things that you might need as part of the building process. Then I, as the decorator, can help with the selection of fixtures, colors, and etc. to make it the home of your dreams. If you are interested, we can meet and talk about the options.

As far as realtors, I have a few names I can pass on to you as well. I will be happy to give them a call for you and see if they can help you out with your rental search while you are building your house.

Please contact me offline and we can talk more. My email address is ____@____.com the Best,
L.

Hi, I just wanted to add (as the mother of a boy on the Spectrum) that you want to stay in Allegheny County for the services that are available and covered here, as opposed to in neighboring counties. I've heard that Quaker Valley is a good school district, too, for special needs. In the South Hills, I know people who've moved to Bethel Park for special needs when two school districts right next door, Mt. Lebanon and Upper St. Clair, may stand out on the national scale in academics but still aren't doing as well for "our kids." Good luck with everything!

Hey B.,
I live in Wilmington, Delaware. I was born and raised in Pittsburgh Pa. I just want to give you some friendly advice. I grew up in the North Hills area. I have alittle brother who is 14 who attends North Hills High School. Its a great school and area to grow up in. I graduated from North Hills in 1998. Since then i've heard North Allegheny, and Seneca are real bad with drugs. There are children over dosing. Pine-Richland i haven't heard anything bad about them or Shaler. Good Luck in what you do but i highly recommned the North Hills School District.For elementary i attented WestView elem, which is part of the North Hills School District. I hope to oneday move back to Pittsburgh so my 2 year old can attend North Hills and enjoy it like I did. If u need anymore advice or help just let me know. i can answer any questions u may have. GOOD LUCK!!

This if off topic. I grew up south of Pittsburgh but now live about 100 miles away. so, I do not have recommendations for houses. However, I noticed your child has autism and mitochondrial disorder. So, I highly recommend you use Dr. Scorr Faber at The Children's Institute. He specializes in autism with a strong interest in mitochondrial connections and allergies. It typically takes about 6 months to get an appointment, so you may want to schedule that now, if you choose to see him. Here is a link about The Children's Institute, scroll down to read more about Dr. Faber. :

Pine -Richland and N. Allegheny are alot better school districts than the other two mentioned. I would def. go with one of them. Taxes are very high in Allegheny County. I am not sure how taxes are where you live but I live in Butler County Mars school district the taxes are a bit cheaper.

I saw you found a realtor but I wanted to help with the autism side.

Join www.aboard.org and www.autismlink.com. N. Allegheny and Pine-Richland are both good but right now your child will grow out autism services with Shaler.

Are you using biomedical interventions? Do you need a DAN!? I would get on Faber's list because he is a good Dev. Ped.

We live in Lower Burrell (Burrell School District) and have good services here. We are a mile from Allegheny Co and are 30 mins to anywhere.

Email me off list and I can give you more info.

M.

with how the market is, why not buy a resale? with how the market is best bet for your money and don't need to move again.

Hi B.. My father is a realtor and could speak with you if you'd like. If he can't help you, he can refer you to someone who can. He works with Long and Foster. Let me know. He was wondering what county you are considering moving to.
