I live in an apartment in Squirrel Hill. The overall experience of my one-year live is OK. But as soon as I move to another state, I feel like they could do better, especially after they increased the rent.
I would like to say something good first.
- The community is a nice an quiet place. Walk distance to public transportation and supermarket like Giant Eagle.
- Walnut capital also has its own shuttle that sent people to and from CMU and UPitt, and the driver is a very nice guy!
- Maintenance guy can always fixing thing in 24 hours after we send out a request.
- There are street parking spaces.
- Spacious kitchen
- Nice ground.
But:
- The apartment is old, everything is old. Walls, carpet, A/C, W/D, etc.
- Management people are not always friendly. They always hanging up your phone calls first.
- During summer time, there are always a garbage smelling from outside
- There is no heat during the long cold winter, but there are heating radiators in the room, which has no use but takes a lot of spaces.
- The electronic fee is very high.
- Washer and dryer doesn't work well, and it might even damage the clothes!
- I haven't got my deposit back yet and I have moved out for two weeks!
