Darragh St Apartments

Distance to school is great. However everything else is not as good as the other apartments.

Great space

Well maintained and convenient location

Can’t beat this location if you are a med student and will need to be close to scaife hall. However proceed with caution because maintenance/upkeep can be a disaster (once went one-two weeks without a functioning elevator and so was required to use stairs - not sure what was planned or used for tenants with physical disabilities(

Great place to live for ease of getting the medical school. Walls are thin and and building does not have many study places but is very convenient which makes it all worth it.

Grad student single apartment

Very conveniently located near most of the major hospitals on rotations and also the medical school. Next to many restaurants and sights in Oakland as well and only a bus ride away from other important locations throughout medical school and the city.

Expensive
Not furnished
Convenience cannot be beat (5 min walk to med school and school gyms)

This apartment is only available for rent to Pitt graduate students, so it is a very quiet environment. I appreciate the proximity to the medical school and hospital buildings, but this also makes it hard to "escape" school/work life. There is a 24/7 phone number to call with any concerns or requests for repairs; all repairs I have made were addressed within a day. The in unit washer and dryer are also great features.

Darragh's greatest appeal is its proximity to Pitt Med's campus (it's a <5 min walk). However, the units are small and the walls are thin, and it is easy to hear roommates and neighbors. Parking is an additional fee (around $100/month), but all other utilities are included. My unit was not clean upon move-in, and maintenance is only somewhat responsive.
