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 apartments in Oakland, Pittsburgh. Whether you’re planning 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.
My daughter just graduated from the University of Pittsburgh, and when I asked her what she would miss most about her time at Pitt, she immediately said her friends and living at the Church at McKee Place. That really says it all.
As a parent, what stood out to me the most was Kristen’s competency — she answered every question easily and quickly, which made the entire experience stress-free and so much smoother for us.

I had to call the leasing office today and the lady I spoke with was absolutely wonderful. She was polite, patient, and very helpful, and she took the time to answer all of my questions without making me feel rushed. It’s so nice to talk to someone who genuinely cares and wants to help. This call really made my day and left a great impression of the community. Thank you for such great customer service!

I’ve had a great experience renting this apartment. The monthly rent is very reasonable for the area and includes several amenities that add value. Payment options are flexible and convenient, making it stress-free to manage. Overall, I’d recommend this place to anyone looking for affordability without compromising on comfort!

I've been with Walnut Capital for two years now and I couldn't recommend a better leasing company! The landlords are extremely responsive. Any time my apartment requires maintenance, someone is almost always in the next day to fix whatever is needed.
