4.5 stars. The borough of Bellevue was incorporated in the 1860s, and today I think it is a nice…read moreplace for people to live and visit. I have visited the borough many times, particularly to eat at its many high-quality restaurants along/near Lincoln Avenue. (My favorite restaurants are WunderBar and Revival on Lincoln. Go there!) The downtown area has old buildings, but they are being fixed up and maintained. Furthermore, I am able to find paid parking for my vehicle along the streets or in lots, and the area has walkable sidewalks and feels safe. I do not live here, but the prices for housing seem to be reasonable for people to afford, and the commute to downtown Pittsburgh would not be far. Amenities include a public library, parks, and swimming pool. The police and fire departments seem to do very good work.

I came here for a library event and thought it was pretty trendy and fun for a library. The windows…read moreand open area are beautiful.

The library is located in the Hampton community center which is an excellent community center and gym for Hampton and Allidon park residents. They have a large open spade lounge with wifi and private conf room space.

This was my very first time inside of the center. I attended a book/author conference, and found…read morethe space to be accommodating for a decent size event. You can rent the facility completely and have 2 different areas. For example, one for event and the other you can use for dining. It's located in the Hill District and has served as a recreational and meeting space for decades.

I'm going to be honest, I had no idea that this place existed. The only reason I ended up here was…read morebecause my coworker was having a surprise birthday party for his mother. Not knowing my way around this neighborhood I was surprised by this asset hidden in plain sight. This is a place that every neighborhood could use and should have. It is a multiuse facility that could be used for anything from birthday parties to conferences. Ample space can be found inside with amenities you can use if need be. The inside is interestingly decorated. There is art everywhere. Talk about being a cultural gathering place, which this place is. Pictures hang just about everywhere, whether they are paintings or photographs. I have to say that if you wanted to escape the room you are in you could definitely distract yourself with all that is in here. Parking is available inside the fenced area or on the street. I suggest trying the street as the parking lot is a bit cramped at the moment, but a good thing to have. As for the name of the place, it is a fitting memorial to a young man that met a tragic end.

This is a nice library with a wide book selection. They host a lot of events for the community…read more Computers are available to the public. There is a free parking lot in the back with about 10-15 spots. Also a curb side book drop. Beware though, as of July 2023, the library is under construction for renovations and there is NO air conditioning. So it's hot inside! Some days they even close early if it's too hot so you may want to call ahead to check. Excited to see what it looks like after renovations because it is an old building.

Nice library! Staff was super friendly and helpful. My friend was able to sign up for a card and…read moretake out a few DVDs in just a few minutes. Outstanding collection of DVDs - thousands of movies and tv shows.

No monster homes here unless you know the secret handshake but a nice community and annual events. Shopping is mostly done within the local region to include City of Beaver, Cranberry, Ambridge, Cranberry, Monaca.... One does NOT have to have a shopping MECCA to have a vibrant consumer community and options for people of all ages. Ease of access is paramont. All too often I hear about the "shopping centers" elsewhere and wonder what are they actually shopping for? One of the best ACC and Plumber businesses I've encountered after 68 years is in Baden....

This is such a great addition to the Cultural District area!…read moreIt is truly a space with something for everyone. There is a playground area that families can enjoy. Plenty of seating so you can sit and read, enjoy people watching or catch one of the performances. There is even an area for pickleball! They host a variety of activities here including the Arts Festival, family fun days and movie nights. The space is well maintained and there is a security presence that makes you feel safe without being imposing. It is a wonderful addition to the area and something I recommend to anyone visiting the Cultural District!

My friends and I went to see the Spin Doctors for the first week of the Arts Festival. The stage and grass area is very nice. They even have wooden and iron benches in the back that you can sit on and still see. People also brought blankets and chairs to the concert. There are a few play areas for kids that are very nice. There were a bunch of kids playing there and they looked very happy. You get some great city and Northside views from there too. It was right in the heart of the Arts Fest on the bridge which was nice.
