Overly expensive but generally a good apartment. Maintenance responds fast.

Pretty Good

Gets the job done

Personally, I love the location Carson Street Commons is. It’s walking distance from good food, nail salon, ice cream, hair salon, and gym. It is also a good distance away from bars so it is very quiet. However, I’ve had some issues with noise. The neighbors can be loud and the walls are thin. Management isn’t the best with dealing with noise complaints.

I live with my partner, who works from home. For them, an office space was important. For me, lots of sunlight was important. Both are needs are satisfied here. This is a relatively new construction (for Pittsburgh) and was way cheaper than anything similar in other neighborhoods (downtown, Shadyside). Its right next to the stop for the 75 which will drop you off right in front of Presby in Oakland. I dont drive so its a big + that its walking distance from lots of amenities like pharmacies, restaurants, Aldi's, and shops. Even though its far from the busier areas of Southside, our living room facing E Carson St does get more noise than our friend's places in other neighborhoods.

I have lived in Carson Street Commons for 2 years now and I would recommend to future students. The apartments are clean and well-maintained. Additionally, the management is great and they come to fix any problems or maintenance requests quickly.

I am living with my partner who works from home so two bedrooms was necessary. We preferred a moderate rent with more space than something closer to school but much smaller or expensive. If you drive, it’s fantastically close. Otherwise, the 75 and 54c stops are super close, they’re just not the most reliable. It’s a nice area near Southside works, Carnegie library, and some good food places. I like that it’s pretty walkable to ALDI and Urban Outfitters.
