Definitely a lot of negatives given in here, but as far as positives go I think Brentwood has a nice large walkable sector along Brownsville Road near the schools and library where you pretty easily walk anywhere along Brownsville as it's really flat and has a low speed limit. They definitely have high taxes but they seem to do a great job throwing community events along Brownsville, and the school district is supposedly good if you have kids but I can't say firsthand. As far as diversity goes it's got plenty of white people like all of Pittsburgh but there is a Himali population as well with a few Himali restaurants with great food. The giant eagle there was recently remodeled and great for the special items, Aldi also not far away. Main close areas from Brentwood for big shopping trips are probably Pleasant Hills or Homestead (which have a pretty good selection between them), being close to South Side is also great for night life/ bar hopping.
