We've lived hear for almost 5 years now. Every once in a while we'll look at other apartments…read morearound the strip or downtown area, and this is what we find: The other complexes in the Strip District like The Yards at Three Crossings and Edge 1909 have more amenities, such as a bigger pool and grill area, but they are more expensive for even a smaller apartment. Honestly, you are going to spend more time in your apartment than in the pool, so give me a bigger apartment then. The comparable apartments in downtown, (such as River Vue) are more expensive and not as nice (cheap appliances), because you are paying to live downtown. Anything significantly less expensive and you are crossing a bridge and fighting traffic every morning. Lot 24 is a non-smoking building. We've had some obnoxious neighbors in the past smoking on their balconies which they are not supposed to do, and the occasional frat-party, but it has been rare. The building is pretty quiet most of the time. It's very pet friendly. There's even a big grassy area across the street for your dog to go, complete with cleanup stations. There's a decent gym that you get free access to, and covered parking at an extra charge (worth it). Overall no complaints!

While the housing and renting market in Pittsburgh continues to grow, there are a multitude of…read moreliving options available in many different areas. It can be overwhelming if you are looking for a place! Upon my move to Pittsburgh in 2015 I found myself falling head-over-heels in love with the Strip District. After living on the North Shore for a year, I knew a move was soon underway. There was no other neighborhood that captured my attention as much as the Strip did. When I learned about the abundant housing options scattered along the far end of Penn Avenue, I started searching for my perfect landing pad. Here is what I learned along the way: choosing to live in Lot 24 goes much farther than choosing an apartment because of its' cost and availability. For me, living in Lot 24 means choosing to live in a place that perfectly accentuates my lifestyle and personality: a young professional who enjoys accessibility to the outdoors and the convince of downtown at the same time, while embracing the charm and history of a unique neighborhood. Lot 24 offers a comfortable lifestyle without pushing you too far out of your comfort zone. While our properly manager is more than helpful, maintenance is on point, the doormen become your friends, and the grounds are spotless, the time you spend living at Lot 24 is what you make of it. The most appealing aspect of Lot 24 to me is the location. Situated on Railroad Street, the small complex is hugged by Penn Avenue on one side and the Allegheny River on the other. Walk down the street and enjoy life by the water. Or, turn a corner and bask in the rush of the Strip as produce is sold, coffee is roasted, giant sandwiches are made, and as history is preserved in one of the Steel City's most iconic neighborhoods. Some of my favorite features at Lot 24 include our small but cozy balcony, modern appliances, an exclusive gym next door and, a gorgeous community room and courtyard. Take a walk down Railroad Street and it will feel as though you are stepping through a cleaned up version of industrial Pittsburgh. A railroad track winds its way though the pavement, a stagnant black train stands still a little ways down, and every Sunday you will hear the whistle of a running engine as it travels through Pittsburgh carrying who-knows-what. Walk a mile in the other direction and find yourself in downtown Pittsburgh where the bar and restaurant scene is striving. Beyond that, the apartment sits on a common bus line and is close to other neighborhoods including hip Lawrenceville, the historic North Side, quirky Polish Hill, and more. The community here is strong and full of young professionals starting careers, folks starting families, and older folks winding down. Dogs running down the hall, babies being pushed in strollers, back-yard style grill outs, and happy hour events are common sightings at Lot 24. There is a lot to embrace and Lot 24 provides the perfect environment to enjoy all that Pittsburgh has to offer. When I wake up in the morning and take that first look out my window, I see more than a living place. I see an investment in a neighborhood that has come a long way. I see an opportunity to support small-business owners who are doing what they love. I see the skyline of a city that has given so much back to its natives and transplants alike and I am reminded that while I could live anywhere, I choose to live in Pittsburgh on purpose. Xoxo, A

Almost $2k for a view of the other building, no in-unit washer/dryer, and older appliances compared to the other buildings in the complex? No thank you. There are plenty of other buildings that will give you more bang for your buck or if you are ok with this price range, there are other buildings in East Liberty that are better quality. The management office also feels that it isn't an invasion of privacy to schedule tours for prospective residents for the exact unit you want WHILE you are living there as soon as you mention you're moving out. So unprofessional. You get 24 hours notice before a tour. Why give notice at all if you're just going to show up anyway? I've never seen this done in other buildings I've lived in before. It makes the vibe more business-like than actually living in a community. All they care about is your money. I really do like Walnut Capital overall, but the Walnut on Highland property itself is overpriced and unprofessional in their policies and communication with residents.

May the storage area in the basement was flooded with significant damage to my items and other residents. June there were electrical issues with entry into the building. July 5th, there were electrical issues for entry/exit to the garage that is an additional $175/month. July 7th there was another flood. This time it affected residents on the 4th-6th floors, causing damage to residents on the floors items. For the amount of money that is paid for rent, there shouldn't be recurring issues.

Unfortunately this is where the good stuff stops. We knew this was a dog-friendly complex and so expected the usual dog bark here and there, instead, we were faced with daily and constant dog barking, scratching and yelping from many dogs around the complex. Complaints about noise in the corridors are heard between tenants. They have a system to deal with those dog owners that leave their dogs poop on the grounds, and yet I have seen poop along the walking grounds, even inside the building along the corridors. We are also very dissatisfied with the new package system the management has implemented, often packages are not reported/scanned in correctly, and sometimes our mail is not delivered on time due to problems receiving the access code required to enter the mail room near the leasing office. Its a hassle. Its unfortunate our stay was cut short because of the reasons stated above, we were hoping this was going to be a much more peaceful apt complex considering the rental rates.

I lived in Fifth and Neville for 3 years. This apartment is…read morevery popular. Don't get me wrong, they are popular because of their prime location, but their service really really sucks. 1) There is no AC in the apartment, so you have to buy your own. Summer is very humid and hot here in Pittsburgh. 2) The garbage area always smells so bad. Garbage is always overflowing. 3) Packages are left in the lobby, it will get lost, your risks to take. 4) The building is basically full of college students, expect to have loud music and party noises during weekend. 5) Rent increases every single year, from the initial 850 to now some ridiculous amount which you have to find out on your own. 6) Hidden fees that they will never tell you when you sign the lease. You have to pay $150 to take your name of the lease? Ridiculous. I would not live in Fifth and Neville ever again... I feel bad for the managers though, they came and left every year. You will get a new manager every year, it shows how much Amore "cares" about their customer service. I didn't want to write a review earlier, but Fifth and Neville kept sending me an email reminding to share my experience with it. So there you go. You are welcome.

The game room is nice in the summertime when it gets too hot outside and you have no individual AC unit (Pro tip: the first floor can sometimes be 15 degrees cooler than the higher floors, excellent for the summer and for quick exits. I live on the first floor.) The one complaint would be that the walls are too thin so I can hear my neighbor's alarms from the bathroom and bedroom. Beware!

Location was great, close to everything, also very safe and quiet. Reasonable garage parking, nice gym (looked small but I honestly had never seen more than 3 people in the gym together, usually me by myself...so you would definitely find your equipment available) and patio (closed during winter). We had the loft floor plan which was really cool and came with a lot of storage space as well. The only downside, as mentioned by other residents, is the sound traveling issue. However it depends on your neighbor as well. This past year we had a wonderful neighbor who was extra quiet which made our evenings very peaceful :) Management was approachable and responsible. Angela was such an angel and ALWAYS on top of everything. I would give her six stars if I could! Overall I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone who is looking for a nice place to live in shadyside!

I lived at Shadyside Commons for 2 years. There are definitely pros and cons to living here. The…read morepros are fine but the cons outweigh them. PROS: 1) The building is well maintained with staff who work to keep it that way daily. 2) There is an onsite gym (though it's small) so you don't have to pay for a gym membership. 3) Apartments come with central air, dishwashers, disposals, wall to wall carpet and laundry. 4) Both garage and lot parking are available ($100 for garage, $50 for lot). CONS: 1) Since it's run by a big management company, you'll never be able to negotiate anything -- rent increase, parking charges, length of lease, breaking lease, etc. Everything is set in stone and management won't discuss changing it. 2) If you like to hear every single thing your neighbors are doing -- and I do mean EVERYTHING -- this is the place for you. In my 2 years I've heard the following: Phone conversations Sex Sneezing and coughing Music and TV Incessant walking and stomping from upstairs neighbors (in heels at 630am every day, no less) Appliances that shake your apartment (seriously, they shake so loud and so hard it feels like there's an earthquake happening) Kitchen cabinets opening and closing Putting away silverware Dogs barking Etc. As you can probably tell, the walls/floors/ceilings are THIN. We're talking paper here. If you're a light sleeper or you just like to have peace and quiet in your home, you won't find that here. 3) It's very close to the train tracks, so you'll hear them going by at all hours of the night and day. 4) As Pittsburgh rent goes, it's not cheap. You do get a decent amount of amenities and it's in the nice section of Shadyside (walkable to Walnut), but it's pricey. Overall my experience here was fine. Nice unit, fairly nice landlord, but definitely too much noise from neighboring apartments to make it five stars.
