I would avoid. Bradford pear trees have weak branches and susceptible to high winds. It will be the first tree in your yard to fall over in a hurricane.
The blossoms on the trees smell like rotten fish.
Get a River Birch if you want a fast growing shade tree.

Decent choice...just not too close to the house. They drop leaves when they see heat stress, and they are excellent at clogging gutters.
