Many homeowners face a dilemma when they choose a new home: rural, suburban, or urban? How far away do they want to be from the major city where they likely work and play? Each type of community comes with its own advantages and disadvantages: for instance, in a rural community you can see the stars at night, enjoy a home free from the sounds of highway traffic, but amenities such as shopping are not always nearby. Most people go for something in between, which allows the conveniences of city life and the unspoiled nature of country life to co-exist side-by-side. Most would agree that a half-hour commute is just about perfect. Irwin is a lucky town, then--only half an hour away from Pittsburgh, one of the most dynamic cities of the Midwest.
Family life takes center stage in Irwin, with recreational opportunities specifically tailored to the on-the-go family with little time but a lot of energy. Sports teams--or really, anyone who likes to kick a ball now and then--appreciate the city's recreational parks, such as Penglyn Field. The field is a great place to bring friends and neighbors for a doubles tennis match, or a community softball game. These green spaces provide kids of all ages a place to have fun and stay fit. They're also a great place to get to know your neighbors, and turn them into friends. As a smaller community, it's easy to get to know your fellow Irwin residents but it never hurts to use a pick-up basketball game as your chosen ice breaker.
Other public facilities include the Irwin Park Amphitheatre, which hosts outdoor concerts. Visit the Amphitheatre for the perfect summer night: the warm-but-not-too-hot Pennsylvania climate, a cooler filled with local craft beer from the Pittsburgh countryside, and the sweet sounds of your new favorite band. Fill lazy weekend afternoons with fun activities for the kids, by taking them to play in the Little Knights Kingdom. Little ones will love pretending to be knights or princesses within the castle-like play structure.
The centerpiece of Irwin is a cute downtown area brings together residents and showcases local businesses. This is a town that supports its own, so come and help out your neighbors by eating at local pizza joints, or shopping at boutique retail shops. The reward will be a stronger, more vibrant Irwin for everyone to enjoy.
Not that this city needs revitalization: home of several Fortune 500 companies, Pittsburgh is recognized each year for its livability and economic vitality. It's a true American hometown, with all-star sports teams, the beautiful Allegheny countryside, and museums and performing arts troupes to astound your eyes and delight your senses. Irwin is the perfect home to return to after a day or night out on the town, and a warm and welcoming home for you and your family for years to come.
