good place to live

This apartment is a good place for CMU and UPITT students to live. 15 minutes walk to school, and 2 minutes for school shuttle stop. The amenities is good, it has onsite dishwasher and garbage disposal. Live here is pretty convenient.

      I chose Amberson Plaza Apartment because this is near to CMU campus and my neighbors are mostly students. And after moving in and lived for several months, I felt comfortable and happy. This is a safe place with quiet environment. Strongly recommend it !!!

          This area is quiet and near CMU, UPitts, UPMC, market areas like the Giant Eagle. It is really convenient and the neighbors are all so friendly. The rent is not so high and it is definitely worth the money!
