With a location convenient to the airport and several major roads, including I-79, Coraopolis is a walkable and very affordable community that is on the upswing. Interest in revitalizing is high, with the culmination of new projects and the nearby growth of Neville Island and its major sports complex and soccer fields promising to bring in many out-of-towners. In Coraopolis they will find the Montour Trail for biking and walking, along with a number of restaurants and attractions ranging from a renowned yoga studio to a large antique store brimming with eclectic offerings. Why are developers and major engineering firms high on Coraopolis? Location, yes, not to mention affordable rents and lots of potential. It could be the best kept secret in town, says one investor, who calls it a great town, an untapped area with a lot of potential.

The 21 Coraopolis bus route serves the Thorn Run Park and Ride, 4th and 5th avenues.
