If you’re a student at PITT, you’ve probably heard of University Commons before. Heck, maybe you’ve even been there. But if you haven’t, here’s the lowdown. University Commons is an undergraduate student housing hub in the heart of Oakland. It consists of University Commons at Dawson Street, The Lofts at University Commons and University Commons at McKee Place (formerly McKee Place Apartments). Between all of our properties, we offer one, two, three, four, five and even studio bedroom floor plans. Whether you’re planing on living alone or moving in with a few of your besties and/or bros, our floor plans have spacious living areas and private bedrooms to fit your needs.
Grateful parent! Such a great experience moving my student from out of state to University Commons. Great customer service and transparency.

Being new to Pittsburgh, Mylee greeted me well, I’m trying to be a famous influencer, so she gave me the lay of the land in regards to the area. After getting me a place, I’m now convinced my life long dream, all credited to mylee.
