The School House

This place is beyond horrible. We had a bad fire in October and the windows are still boarded up in February. There is no gym since it was beside the unit that caught fire. We are with our 4th property manager now since April so that should tell you all about Delta Property Management. Just drive by and look at the place.....the awning is in tatters and hangs to the street. There is no janitors or maintenance guy for over 9 months now. The parking garage is about to collapse and it is... totally leaking on all the cars with rusted metal load bearing beams. And they are in the middle of a massive lawsuit since the fire system just doesn't work and all the windows are painted and nailed shut so NO FRESH AIR is possible ever. Read More

As of today, October 15 of 2024 this listing is completely false. The pricing is not correct. The amenities are completely not available. This is in line with what you can expect from Delta while you stay here. They are a terrible company in that they do not help you with basic maintenance request. They have horrible business practices, such as retroactive rent increases. The building is not safe. You cannot hear the fire alarms and they do not care. It is currently about 75% empty because... of these sad practices. Beware! Read More

The apartment complex needs some updating (Entrance way, gym , garage, rec area, etc...) my apartment is very spacious however. I was surprised when I first visited. The appliance could be updated but I believe the space makes up for it. The walls and fixtures could have been painted better as well. The management seems to drag their feet on issues slowly at times. Overall I have had an OK/Good experience.

This is about as cheap as you can get while still being within walking distance to a free T station/downtown. The building and each apartment is unique. Great location, central to the North Shore and Downtown. Safe area, despite historically bad reputation - haven't had any problems yet. Very helpful/kind management.
- 15 minute walk to PNC Park and T station.
- If your apartment faces south, may get a great view of the city skyline

Cons:
- outdated building and amentities. They're in the... process of renovating a few things, but the gym I'm sure will remain untouched.
- windows don't open, must use A/C and fans in the summer
- parking garage (additional $) isn't attached to the building. it is beside the building, but you have to walk outside to get to it. Read More

Originally constructed in 1898, The School House is part of the Duetchtown historic District, a neighborhood of small-scaled 19th and 20th century buildings on the Northside of Pittsburgh. The building was named the Latimer School in 1913 in honor of Alexander C. Latimer, an Irish immigrant active on the Third Ward School Board. A landmark of the neighborhood's educational life- first as an elementary school and then as a junior high school- The School House is now providing lessons in the... good life to a new generation.
Each apartment is unique, while the hallways and staircases retain elements of the original school's architecture. The building is secure, and has plenty amenities which most modern young professionals appreciate as conveniences.
I have lived in a number of apartments in this building since 2006, and have found that the building is well maintained and the management staff is attentive and responsive to any issues that may arise.
I would strongly recommendation this building for anyone who is looking for a distinctive apartment to make your home. Read More
