Fifth Avenue School Lofts

My partner & I lived in unit 100 for 4 years when the building fist opened, and we miss it every day. The open space allowed us to rearrange as needed for a variety of uses, from having nieces & nephews visit for weeks in the summer to Thanksgiving dinners to caring for my elderly mother. I was a place we could customize the way we needed it. Steiner was a great landlord for us handling maintenance promptly. It was a great central location allowing me to reverse commute out to the suburbs for... work as a visiting nurse in any direction. If we hadn't left Pittsburgh, we'd still be in 5th Ave. School Lofts Lee mas

At first the neighborhood (uptown) worried me but it's really not that bad especially with secured parking available. The building has the old school charm and is maintained really well by the staff. The units are huge for the price and it's close to downtown without all the chaos. Everything is relatively new since it was just redone a few years ago and has all the upgrades like granite. I wish they had real hardwood flooring but the laminate is still a nice feature. The number 1 downside... is that there isn't an outdoor area for the residents to sit, grill out or socialize. It's really quiet in the apartments but also dog friendly so keep that in mind when considering a place. Lee mas
