Sharpsburg is a somewhat gritty, and very urban area (mainly stoop fronted houses, with little or no yards, built very close together, or attached, with very narrow streets). It's definitely not a high crime area, so if you don't mind your kids playing in the streets (as most city kids do), go for it.

I grew up there in the 70's. It was that way then and still is now. I have family that has been there since 1956. Crime really is not an issue. |

I can't speak of crime rates, etc. of Sharpsburg, but I did live in neighboring Aspinwall for a while and I would suggest Aspinwall rather than Sharpsburg if you have the financial means. It is a little pricier but much much cleaner and lively. Both are Fox Chapel School District.
