I've enjoyed my time living in Coraopolis, even as a native Bellevue, PA resident. I was hesitant to venture onto the main street, but found myself enjoying the lively shops, small churches, and convenient grocers.

I love the old houses in this area. Lots of charm. Yards aren't very big, but you can find houses with decent sized ones.

Coraopolis is a nice little town. It has two main streets, 5th Avenue and 4th Avenue. Most of the shops and businesses are located along these two streets. Every year we have our Memorial Day parade, honoring our vets and fallen soldiers. Also, during Memorial Day weekend, there is a car cruise featuring old-fashioned cars. There are several antique stores in Coraopolis, so it isn't difficult to find a treasure from the past.
