50 - 70 psi would be a good level and 70 psi is on the verge of too much. That would be the short answer. You get more dynamic pressure when pipes reduce going into fixtures, but the water pressure stays the same. What I mean by that is like water flowing thru a shower head will increase the power (speed) of flow but the pressure on the lines remains static or the same.

In the neighborhood of 50 is good particularly if your house has wide-diameter pipes. If it comes in too high you can damage your appliances (particularly ones with hoses or flexible tubing).
If it gets much higher you might want to call your water company. They may have booster-pumped your neighborhood too high in anticipation of additional construction in your neighborhood that hasn't happened yet. If your pressure is too high your neighbors probably have the same problem and a group complaining at the same time usually gets a fast response.

Water companies need to supply beteween 20psi-100psi is the range for California and Arizona. Normaly we sugust 55psi-75psi depending on the size of home and how meny fixtures you have, water slows down at each bend in the pipes so huge homes need to start out higher at the meter then smaller homes.

Depends on the supply.
Where I live, the municipal water is at about 90psi, but we have a pressure regulator which brings it down to 50psi.
The pressure regulator is adjustable, but the factory setting is 50psi.
