We were looking forward to living here, and when we finally did get the opportunity we were…read morepleasantly welcomed by well kept grounds and convenient location we were looking for. Unfortunately this is where the good stuff stops. We knew this was a dog-friendly complex and so expected the usual dog bark here and there, instead, we were faced with daily and constant dog barking, scratching and yelping from many dogs around the complex. Complaints about noise in the corridors are heard between tenants. They have a system to deal with those dog owners that leave their dogs poop on the grounds, and yet I have seen poop along the walking grounds, even inside the building along the corridors. We are also very dissatisfied with the new package system the management has implemented, often packages are not reported/scanned in correctly, and sometimes our mail is not delivered on time due to problems receiving the access code required to enter the mail room near the leasing office. Its a hassle. Its unfortunate our stay was cut short because of the reasons stated above, we were hoping this was going to be a much more peaceful apt complex considering the rental rates.

Have greatly enjoyed my time as a resident here at castle ridge. I have lived in many apartments…read moresince I've transferred a lot for work, over 12. This place is definitely the best. The grounds are kept pristine, I always see someone working on the property doing something, whether it's cleaning out the walkways for the spring, touching up the landscaping (which is very beautiful) maintaining the parking lot, or cleaning the pool. It's clear management cares very much not just for the property for the tenants too. I've been checked in on several times since I have moved in. Leasing was very helpful getting me situated since I was moving for work it was a very stressful time trying to arrange everything, and this was one less thing I had to worry about in the process. I only ever had one small maintenance issue and it was addressed the next day. A definite recommend.

These are upscale apartments in Castle Shannon borough. They look exactly like Christopher Wren…read moreapartments in Wexford. However, there is one big difference: rent. A two bedroom, 2 bath in Christopher Wren is $1200/month. Here, its $1590 (+ gas, electric, water & sewage, which they estimate at about $250). Both apartments have the exact same amenities: new refrigerator, dishwasher, stove, garbage disposal, and (in-unit) washer & dryer. Here, the washer and dryer are one unit, the dryer being above the washer. I used to sell major appliances for Sears. These rarely sold, and frequently were returned, because they just didn't clean/dry well, and the (top loader) washer door barely opened because of the dryer. The dryer was too high for short/petite people, and you couldn't see inside well to be sure no laundry was left behind. Christopher Wren has big, energy efficient, front-load washers & dryers in a bigger laundry room with more storage. Additionally, Christopher Wren's bathrooms both have full tubs. Here, one bathroom has a stall shower, which you have to walk through to reach the walk in closet. Not so at Christopher Wren. I called and set an appointment. I arrived early, walking around to find the rental office. I called (Cara), only to find out they have another apartment building located in Baldwin with the same name. When I booked the appointment, she didn't ask me which location I wanted. She apologized, borrowed her sister's car and drive right over to meet me. The down side is they are across the street from St. Ann's R C. school, which, when they hold their week-long annual carnival, you'll get lots if noise and traffic. The other negative is the view. One side overlooks St. Ann's cemetery. On the plus side, at least you'll have quiet "neighbors"...

After having tours at other apartment complexes where I was rushed through units, told I couldn't see models before signing, and told that no parking would ever be available, Paris was an absolute breath of fresh air. She was the only leasing agent to give me well over two hours of her time just to make sure that I saw every available unit and had all my questions answered. She spent time with me deciding on my budget and what I prioritize in a Unit before choosing which to have me walk through. It was great to finally have someone who did not insist on showing me Units far out of my budget and not constantly pressuring me to increase my price. Being able to have a candid conversation about my idea price and maximum limits made everything so much less stressful and helped me find a Unit I love. More than anything, the fact that Paris lives in the building herself is what convinced me to sign a lease here. She was able to give me such honest, practical advice that you only can get from having been a resident there yourself. Do yourself a favor - set up a tour here! It will easily be the best Southside leasing experience that you have. And trust me, some of the Units are incredible!

I moved to the Residences in August 2018 after I got a professor job at the local college. Single…read moreand in my early 30s, I wanted to live in a location with access to a number of restaurants and bars, but I did not want to drive 40 minutes from Pittsburgh to Washington. The Residences turned out to be the ideal spot. Though I initially balked at the monthly rent, I found it to be well worth the price. (The price point also keeps out the rift-raft, as residents hold down jobs and live stable lives.) With such a new facility, I've never had to call maintenance--though it's my understanding that they tackle any issues that pop up within hours. The outside perks include 5 eateries/bars at The Street (the plaza the building is in), a patio with a grill and propane fire pit, and a sizable parking lot where you'll never have to look for a spot. Inside, I make use of the workout room (2 treadmills, elliptical machine, bike, free weights, yoga mats, etc.) and the Keurig coffee machine in the lobby. I have a one bedroom apartment, which to me has three great features: the walk-in closet, granite counter tops in the kitchen, and the washer/dryer unit in (another) closet. The management is very personable, and they understand that the building is your home. To foster a sense of community, the management team has organized game-watches, a Kentucky Derby party, an end-of-summer event, a Christmas door decorating contest. The weekly donut spread in the lobby on Friday mornings is also popular with residents. I will be moving out-of-state over the summer to for another career opportunity (academia...), but it's safe to say that I will miss living in The Residences. Quite frankly, it's just a really nice place to live.
