My boyfriend and I have lived here since 2014 and we give it a mostly positive review. Favorite things: maintenance is AMAZING - very friendly, informative, and eager to help, neighborhood - close to Walnut St., pet friendly - A LOT of dogs, holiday parties, design of apartment units - exposed brick, loft style, they allow you to chose paint, we got new carpet before moving in. Least favorite things: building itself is old (windows, walls, kitchen, bathroom), expensive rent & parking compared to other options in Shadyside, amenities aren't great, courtyard isn't really usable space.
They are renovating the whole building currently (lobby, gym, office, mailroom, courtyard, hallways, a few apartments). Construction has been a huge PAIN, but the renovations are pretty nice and a big improvement.
Overall, we have enjoyed our time here but will be looking for an apartment with less expensive rent with more space.
