205 Robinson St

Building is a little older but landlord is very responsive and it’s very pet friendly!

The location is great, really easy walk to scaife. Parking and water are included with rent and the building is super pet friendly (no extra pet rent or fees). Management is helpful and responsive to concerns, renewing my lease for next year !

The apartment is great for the price. I share a 1 bedroom apt with my boyfriend, so we each pay around $500 per month which is super cheap! It also comes with free parking which is a bonus. Pets are allowed for no additional fees. There is no central air but they provide window AC units which work pretty well. Kitchen and bathroom are recently remodeled and pretty nice. The place is small but worth the low price and it’s very close to school (about a 7 min walk). The area isn’t as safe as other places like Shadyside so I don’t walk home alone at night out of precaution, but I haven’t had any issues with safety. Overall it is pretty nice; we are only moving so that we can have a bigger place to be more comfortable with remote school and working from home. We did have a wasp nest outside our window last fall and lots of wasps got into our apartment, but I think that was just bad luck. Other people in our building haven’t had any pest problems.

The apartment is really close (~5 mins walk) to Scaife which was super convenient and the management company was very quick to respond to maintenance requests. A significant drawback, however, is the lack of grocery stores or other shopping within walking distance. This made it not feel like a neighborhood and is the reason I am moving to Friendship for the next year
