There is an excellent story in the City Paper about the overgrowth and new "smart growth" development going on in Cranberry Township that is worth a read.
REPLANTING CRANBERRY, PITTSBURGH CITY PAPER
Most of us from the Pittsburgh know that Cranberry may be the poster child for suburban sprawl, but you have to at least give the area credit for trying to get that problem under control by developing new housing options that have less impact on the environment. As someone who grew up in North Pittsburgh I remember the area as rural countryside. Even though I spend a fair amount of time at RE/MAX Select's home office in Cranberry I am still shocked by the amount of development that has taken place in the last 20 years.
I particularly appreciate Ken's mention of mountain biking in Cranberry. For those that have been around the Pittsburgh MTB you may remember the Knob Hill Month of Mud course. I think the park is still there, but most of the trails are now underneath a corporate park. Same with the Brother's Grimm course that is now underneath the Mall at Robinson. Is sort of sad when I think of how much fun we had on trails that are now gone.
Park Place in Cranberry is one of the newest developments in Cranberry with plans for a mixed use residential and retail community, complete with green space. This neighborhood will offer traditional homes starting below $200K with very up to the minute energy efficient features and floor plans.
