This is a "luxury" apartment complex, but be warned that it's basically a retirement home. I'd say,…read morein total honesty, that the average age of a tenant is about 65. The decor is kind of dated and it definitely caters to its older clients. This also means that there is a maintenance staff constantly on the premises, so it's easy to get issues fixed. The location cannot be beat. It's right on the corner of the one of the Squirrel Hill's main streets. Therefore, there are quite a few shops and restaurants totally within walking distance.

The apartment has been fine. However, my rent includes use of the pool in the back. Over the years…read morethere have been many instances of the pool being closed due to repairs and whatnot. That's ok (but why can't they do the repairs prior to the pool season?). There are also frequent occasions when it is closed because they don't have a lifeguard. This year is the worst however, because it should have opened on Memorial Day , but one month later it is still closed due to repairs. They advertise pool use as one of the included amenities, and I pay for it, but I don't get to use it. I'd like to have some of my rent returned to me, or better yet, open the pool!

Although it was an adjustment, we found the space pretty comfortable for two empty nesters and our two cats. The apartments are large and very functional. The service from the management is fast, friendly and efficient. The only negative for us was a small kitchen and the train running behind our apartment. I think most of the people living in our building don't cook much, so the kitchen wouldn't be a drawback for many. We did get used to the train and sleep right through it. It seems like everyone has a dog, so if you are super allergic, that might be a consideration. We are moving to a townhome in a few weeks with a third bedroom and a larger kitchen, but if we could have those things at the Foundry, we'd probably stayed a little longer!

I've lived in my apartment at the Residence at the Garden for three years now, and I'm happy to…read morehave just signed a new lease. For the first two and a half years, this was an apartment I came to during the summer to escape the oppressive heat of Florida. After spending more time here and enjoying everything this apartment community has to offer--as well as all of the wonderful businesses and community opportunities nearby--I decided to move here permanently this past February. The apartment building is new, beautiful, clean, and well staffed with friendly, knowledgeable people. It is in a fantastic location. There is a central courtyard that serves as a common gathering area, complete with ping-pong, outdoor grills, a fire pit, and many other amenities that make this feel more like a home than simply an apartment building. The surrounding neighborhood continues to improve, with no end in sight. Recently, Mayfly Market and the Bohemian Taproom opened in the beautifully restored Garden Theatre, which is directly adjacent to the apartment building. Both of these establishments are treasures to have just a few steps from the lobby. One of the very best things about the location, however, is that the apartment building sits directly across the street from Allegheny Commons Park. It is a beautiful park where you can relax or attend many of the festivals and events held throughout the year, including a wonderful farmers market every Friday from May through November. The management team is professional, accessible, and responsive to my requests, and they genuinely care about their residents. I couldn't be happier with my decision to make this my permanent home in the Pittsburgh area.

Truly, I feel awful that other residents have had a terrible experience living here. I would give…read morethis place a 4.5/5 just for a few issues listed below. My boyfriend and I moved in 2 years ago. We were among the first tenants to move into the Morten House. We love our apartment - it is spacious, has a giant kitchen, a small hallway that separates the apartment from our entrance, plenty of storage. As a young woman who works weird hours - I often arrive home at 10-11pm - and who just generally loves to walk every where - I can't say I have ever felt unsafe. My boyfriend and I walk downtown, to PNC park, to Heinz Field, and to the river walk. We have two coffee shops in this cute, charming neighborhood. A pizza spot, a library, a taco place right across the street. A book store on the corner, and a small general store and brewery will soon be within STEPS of our apartment. There's a farmers market at the park every Friday during the summer. Events at the park across the street all summer. The National Aviary and Children's museum are a short walk away. I fell in love with the Mexican War Streets and the North Side. Of course, there may be a few issues - the gym is small and sometimes does not have wipes, it can be difficult to get a hold of management at times, and sometimes our stove stops responding (it's one of those annoying touch screen ones). There are cleaning people who come, but maybe a little less frequently than they used to. Occasionally there will be some issues with the parking garage, but I never really had a problem with street parking. Overall, I'm so happy I live here. I truly love this neighborhood and would recommend The Garden (specifically the Morten House, as I can't speak to anywhere else) to anyone looking to live in a truly unique part of the city!

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.

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.

I filed many complaints... I spent winter without proper heat and summer without A/C, and at night it often didn't work at all. Despite this, I was still charged an extra $80+ a month for a service that was never properly provided. After moving out, I paid all my bills upfront, but they still added late fees out of nowhere and even charged me for bills from months earlier. On top of that, they took almost my entire deposit. It feels like no matter how responsible you are as a tenant, they'll find a way to take more money. I would not recommend renting here.
