  INCREASING PRICES, DECREASING QUALITY: HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE LIVING AT THE GARDEN. ZERO respect for residents. ZERO effort to right their wrongs. No moral compass -- the WORST kind of people to deal with. 😡

  Do yourself a favor and do not move to Residencies at the Garden unless you: 1. Want your emails and concerns ignored by management. 2. Want to call the emergency maintenance line and get ZERO response. 3. Want random strangers hanging out in the “private” courtyard your rent helps pay to maintain. 4. Want to slip on icy sidewalks because snow isn’t shoveled for days in the winter. 5. Want your packages consistently left out on the street where anyone can take them. 6. Want to risk a $40+ parking ticket while unloading groceries because the designated loading zone is constantly occupied — sometimes even by management. 7. Want to risk injuring yourself while trying to replace a smoke detector battery on a ceiling over 10 feet high because maintenance no longer handles it. Bottom line: If you want to live in an increasingly hostile environment with EXTREMELY poor management, then the Garden is for you.

  Do yourself a favor and DO NOT MOVE to The Garden. My daughter currently lives here, and I visit often. Over time, I’ve watched the quality of this property go down significantly. At this point, management is basically nonexistent. - Emails to the property manager go unanswered. - Calls to the emergency maintenance line are ignored—even in urgent situations like after-hours lockouts. - Packages are frequently left outside and are sometimes stolen. - After heavy snow, sidewalks may go several days without being plowed or salted. - Customers from the Mayfly market are allowed into the supposedly “private” resident courtyard and regularly use the space. It does not seem safe to have random strangers hanging out in the courtyard. - The only time management communicates with residents is to announce yet another service they’re discontinuing. For example, they stopped replacing smoke detector batteries. Supplying the battery isn't the problem, but the fact that apparently all residents are now expected to buy ladders just to reach the smoke detectors. - Maintenance requests are not completed in a timely manner, even essential appliances like washing machines. Also, don’t trust the reviews posted on their website. Negative reviews are filtered out and never get published. The majority of the 5-star Google reviews are from 1-2 years ago when the better management team was around. I wish I could give them 0 stars. We cannot wait until the lease is up so my daughter can move out. Good riddance to The Garden.

  It’s been almost two years since we moved into the Residences at the Garden. We could not be happier with our decision to make this our home in Pittsburgh. The apartment building is brand new, beautiful, clean, well staffed with friendly knowledgeable people and is in a fantastic location. There’s a center courtyard that is a common area with ping-pong and outdoor grill and many other nice features to make this feel more like a home than an apartment building. The building is steps away from good restaurants, both casual and fine dining, museums, and the historic Mexican War streets. But one of the best things about the location of this apartment building is that it is directly across the street from Allegheny Commons Park. Allegheny Commons Park is a beautiful park where you can relax or attend many of the festivals they hold throughout the year, including a wonderful farmers market on Fridays from May through November each year One other point of interest is the apartment building is located just a few blocks away from Allegheny General Hospital, which can be a godsend in an emergency Since moving in, we’ve met many new people that we have become friends with and I’m sure you will too if you decide to rent in one of the few remaining apartments
