Don't Bother - This place looks absolutely GLAM in the pictures and the brochures. And once you come in to get a tour, it's still pretty posh. Then you stupidly sign a lease without asking all the questions, and BAM you begin a 12 month long regret process of trying to find a cheaper place with more accessibility. Now, don't get me wrong, if you can afford 1,100 monthly (with ...Full review of Chestnut Ridge Apartments

Don't live here! - I lived there for a few years, and at first it was ok, but it went way down hill! The office staff acts like they've got a stick up their ass. The heat only comes on after complaining too many times. The maintenance never clears the sidewalks on time-- I've seen more than one person and child FALL on the ice!!!! It's ridicious. Plus, there's this lady that's lived ...Full review of Alvern Gardens

Great Apartments - I lived here from 2006- till January of 2009. They have excellent maintance- Rodney and Mike are great. Anytime I had a problem it was fixed that day or the next. Many times they had to come in the middle of the night to fix emergent things, such as a water issue. I cannot say enough good things about management, Tom is wonderful. The walls are thin so you can here your neighbors, it ...Full review of Crawford Square Apartments

Best Apartment Ever! - I have lived in the Essex House for 2 years. I looked at so many apartments in Shadyside and Squirrel Hill before choosing this one. It is quite expensive, but worth it if you can afford it. The kitchen and bathroom are good sized and updated. You can enter the balcony from the living room or bedroom and it has a great view, especially if you are on a higher floor. The bedroom is one of ...Full review of Essex House

Lionhead - Not a bad apartment, lots of room. However, it's necessary to point out some problems that might not be obvious to someone taking a 5 min tour... Pros: -Overall apartment size is big, decent room sizes. -Closets are plentiful. -Lots of cabinets/counter space in kitchen. -Good location (walking distance to Giant Eagle and Walnut Street). -Safe/quiet neighborhood. -Unique look. All ...Full review of Mozart Management

The good and bad - The Good: The location is amazing (5 min from downtown, shopping glore on McKnight road). Safe neighborhood. Concrete walls -Very quiet- never hear a peep from next door. Allow pets- especially large dogs. Parking is never a problem. The Bad: Creepy centipedes found in the apartment daily. Broken windows that they keep putting off on replacing (6mon now... ugh). Laundry room is in ...Full review of Governor's Ridge

Good location, but you can hear EVERYTHING. - The Heinz Lofts certainly offer a great location. However, the "cool factor" of living at the Lofts comes at a high price in many ways. First, you can hear EVERYTHING from side neighbors right through the walls. Second, the windows are poorly insulated and the heat runs off of the hot water heater. As a result, in the winter, it is not possible to keep your apartment ...Full review of Heinz Lofts

living in a cardboard box - I moved into Emerald Gardens in Sept of 2008. Our living room promptly flooded from the backup that happens after construction we were told. About a month later our sewage backed up into our back yard. We called management who eventually got someone to fix the clog after a few days. We were relieved to not have sewage floating directly into our backyard every time we ran water anymore; ...Full review of Emerald Gardens Apartments

Has gone down hill - I am not renewing my lease at Nob Hill. I have lived at Nob Hill for several years and have loved living here up until about a year ago. They have got a new manager who does not seem to care about the people that live here. She is extremely rude and never has time to address anyones concerns. The grounds used to be well kept and free of litter. The inside of the building has suffered tremendously ...Full review of Nob Hill Greentree Apartments

This is not where you want to live! - My apratment is on the 8th floor and I have significant water damage in my bedroom. The smell is terrible and there is mold beginning to grow. Holes were punhced in the dry wall to air it out and only the wet padding was removed from under the carpet. Their plan is to paint over not replace the dry wall and clean not replace the moldy carpet. I cant stay in my apartment because I have a 17 month ...Full review of Penn Towers Apartments
