All the natural light.
Courtesy of IkosWhether you want to save some money or drop some $$$ on an apartment, there are plenty of options this month in Pittsburgh.
In this monthly installment aimed at making apartment hunting suck less, we search for: Walkable neighborhoods, public transit access and character (no plain cookie-cutter apartments).
Here are seven Pittsburgh apartments worth your time (and money) right now. Get ’em while they’re hot (or while the listings are still up) — and check out last month’s guide, where a few options are still available.
7528 Penn Ave. (Point Breeze)
1 bedroom, $849 per month
A recent renovation left no detail untouched, with a bright white kitchen, updated appliances, and a patterned black-and-white tile floor in the bathroom. The square-footage here is only 650, though, so it’s probably a good fit for just one.

You don't get the whole house, but you do get a spiral staircase.

1 bedroom, $999 per month
If you’ve ever dreamed of having a spiral staircase in your home, you can do it — for under $1,000 per month. This apartment is situated on the East Liberty-Garfield border, walking distance from the shops on Penn Avenue.
Other perks: It’s near the bus line, and it’s recently updated, including swanky Carrara marble floors in bathroom.
4519 Liberty Ave. (Bloomfield)
2 bedroom, $1,195 per month
Location is key here. This 1900-era building is situated on Liberty Avenue in the midst of shops and restaurants and is right on the bus line.
Design tip from us to you: If you live here, you’re gonna want to get a rug for the living room floor to hide how much the cabinet wood and floor wood differ in color.

Cute house alert.

2 bedroom, $1,395 per month
One block from the T stop, this home in Beechview is the total package. Modern kitchen? Check. Updated bathroom? Got it. Charming details? Definitely. Bonus points: A one-car garage and a fenced yard.

4 bedroom, $1,745 per month
Nestled atop a hill in Hazelwood, the deck is the star, featuring a rarely seen angle of Pittsburgh’s skyline. Though the kitchen isn’t brand new, it is quite large and would easily accommodate a family who wanted to cook together.

All the details.

First of all, this place is ginormous with five bedrooms, two bathrooms and wide-open living spaces. Secondly, despite its age, it features updated HVAC. And finally — and perhaps most importantly — the wood-working in this place is downright exquisite.
43rd at Butler (Lawrenceville)
2 bedroom, $2,950 per month
If you’ve got some $$$ to spend, this place is Lawrenceville might be a good spot to drop that cash. It’s got all the things one would expect for nearly $3,000 per month — lots of good light, a gigantic living space, exposed brick, and plenty of ornate details.
