Deer Lakes School District is made up of three scenic townships. They are East Deer, Frazer and West Deer - making a perfect combination of suburban and rural living.
Located approximately 24 miles northeast of downtown
Pittsburgh, the district is just 30 minutes from the city and
10 minutes from the Pennsylvania Turnpike in northern Allegheny
County. Linked by suburban roads that are well maintained, the
area enables its residents to be less than 20 minutes from major
shopping complexes, entertainment, movie theaters and interstate
access.
Many of the people that make up the Deer Lakes
area are a mixture of families that have lived here for generations,
as well as new and young families who are finding this area to
be a perfect environment in which to live, work and raise their
children. From new housing communities to century-old farmhouses,
Deer Lakes holds a special appeal for most everyone.
With more than 14,000 residents, Deer Lakes offers
a wide variety of recreational facilities. Many homes and housing
plans are only minutes away from community parks and county parks
that offer fishing, picnicking, softball, tennis, and suitable
playgrounds.
It has also received a superior rating as being
a safe place in which to live. The entire Deer Lakes area is noted
for its low crime rate. Each of the three townships which form
Deer Lakes provides 24-hour police protection. Fire and emergency
medical services are only a phone call away. Access to major medical
facilities are less than 20 minutes away, bordering the area on
the north, west, east and south sides.
With its community appeal, family oriented atmosphere,
and outstanding program of studies, it’s no wonder that the
Deer Lakes School District is a great place to live, to work,
and to raise a family.
