When people discuss the most ideal place to live, they invariably discuss such flashy places like California, New York, and Florida. While these states have their benefits, for people that prefer a simpler pace of life, these places just won't cut it. However, if you want to live in the American heartland in a place where residents enjoy an exceptionally high quality of life, there's a state that you may want to start to consider: the Keystone State.

Home to such major important American cities as the city of brotherly love, Philadelphia, and blue-collar, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania has played an important role in American society. While these cities may take all of the Keystone State's flash, Pennsylvania is full of smaller communities that are renowned for their high liveability. Situated in south-western Pennsylvania, the census-designated community of Carnot-Moon is one such place.

A town situated in scenic Allegheny County, Carnot-Moon is home to over 10,000 residents. Residents of Carnot-Moon absolutely adore its small town comfort, but for people that prefer big city living, Carnot-Moon will still be a great fit for you. That's because the town is located less than 17 miles from Pittsburgh.

With access to some of the finest shopping centers and recreational facilities in Pittsburgh, Carnot-Moon is able to offer the best of both worlds (urban and suburban) to its residents.
