Christmas Lights (Pittsburgh, Ross Township, Greensburg: house, neighborhood, train)

[amanda776]

A Christmas tradition in my family (and I'm sure others) is to just drive around aimlessly and look at residential Christmas lights. I thought it would be a cool idea if the members of this board can post good places to go (i.e., streets that every house decorates or a particular neighborhood that is known for having the best Christmas lights). Even if you know of a particular house that's worth driving to, post it up.

I know Hartwood Acres is the best place to go for lights but their "suggested donation" is $10 per person (not car) this year so I'm only going there on Christmas Eve Eve like I always do.

GOOD thread! I'll keep coming back to check for places. I know there is house just off of mcknight road. Can really remember the street or neighborhood but, once you get close you'll know it' the house.

Greenfield in Pittsburgh has some good lights--check out Winterburn Ave and Gladstone St. in particular. There are also little pockets of lights throughout the other side streets...it's a cute little neighborhood.

Yes, good idea for a thread. Any especially nice areas to explore in the South Hills? My family loves to do things like this.

Where is Hartwood Acres?

Overly's Country Christmas out Rt. 30/Greensburg in Westmoreland Fair Grounds is the best in Western PA and only $8 per car. Take your camera, many of the displays are animated. They also have sleigh rides and a train ride for the kids. This is very impressive compared to Hartwood.
Welcome to Overly's Country Christmas

The house you mentioned by Mcknight is off of Siebert, about a 1/4 mile up the road on the left if coming from Mcknight.

That's it what neighborhood is that? The house that I am talking about is on a turnaround street.

I was just at Hartwood last night, and it is a reccomended donation of $12 PER CAR.

I would be considered Ross Township in the Berkley Hills section.
