I've lived at Grandview pointe for almost 5 years and I have to say that I love it here. I consider this one of the hidden gems of Pittsburgh. Mt. Washington is a nice small community to live in and you have easy access to almost all areas of the city. I know of no other place you can live with affordable rent and amazing views of the city skyline.
As far as the property and the apartments. It is an old building but very well constructed. I have friends that live in some newer condos / apartments throughout the city and you can hear your neighbors having conversations in their apartment next door. This is NOT the case at Grandview. The apartments are very quiet and that is a huge plus. Recently Management has been putting a lot of time and effort into updating the common areas and apartments. I like the building so much that I moved from an older place into one of the newly renovated apartments. Updates to the kitchen, flooring, and counter tops are very well thought out and elegant. I feel like I'm living in a place worth much more than my monthly rent.
The staff at Grandview Pointe are very attentive to any issues that may come up. Taylor, the office manager is very personable and you never see the maintenance staff just sitting around. They are always out in the property attending to tenant needs or making sure the common areas are clean. You couldn't ask for more.
My ONLY two gripes with the property are very small. 1. Guest parking is non existent. I know it's tough because of how congested of an area the building is in but it would be nice if there were somewhere for guests to park. There are two large parking lots across the street that are used for the Monterey Bay valet service. 2. The washers and dryers are coin operated but there is no change machine on the property. It would be nice to not have to worry about whether I had enough quarters to do my laundry.
Those issues aside, I would HIGHLY recommend Grandview Pointe to anyone looking for a quality apartment with amazing views of the city and in close proximity to all of the city neighborhoods.
