The Gateway at Summerset Apartments

management and maintenance workers were great to work with and responded quickly. I always felt safe in the area which is very important in my decision to rent at The Gateway. I would recommend The Gateway at Summerset to anyone looking for an apartment home in Pittsburgh!!

excellent choice. The grounds are well maintained. There is green space every where. Frick and Schenely Park are proximal to this complex.The pool is heated, sparkling clean with ample lounges and shaded spaces. There is a grill/patio area with picnic table for the residents to use. Public transportation is a stone throw from our front door. Pittsburgh is 10 minutes via the parkway. Add to that nearby Oakland, Shadyside and Squirrel Hill for shopping, entertainment and numerous eateries. Management has been prompt with any issue in maintenance. I give you a recent example. Our air conditioner was not operating on July 4th. The projected temperature was to be in the high 80s. I called the emergency line at 9 am to report the problem. Help was here at 9:30 am and my AC was up and running at 9:45 am. I could go on and on about the joy of living here. Don't hesitate...you won't regret it.

Let the bill go to collections and you can negotiate the bill lower. The Property Manager wouldn't budge on the $1200 so I told her to let it go to collections. Collections called and I negotiated the amount down to $875. Clearly Gateway at Summerset inflated the closing bill. Other issues with this community: they ordered mulch one year that was infested with millipedes. Needless to say, the entire bottom floor of the community was covered in millipedes. My wife and I counted the number of millipedes we removed one day (50!). Residents had to beg the former Property Manager to get a pest control person to come quarterly. Another issue is the new CVS that was built next to the community. Prior to the CVS, the community was quiet and peaceful. After CVS was built, the residents started reporting car break ins. One night I witnessed a car full of teenage girls pulling into the parking lot and vomiting and urinating. Beware selecting a unit close to the CVS and make sure you lock your car! If you're from out of town and moving here it may be nice to know that this used to be a slag pile for a steel mill. You can also smell coke plant fumes from a local mill in Braddock. If you're concerned about your health and breathing in this smelly air, I'd think twice about moving here.
