Forest Hills is home to the Westinghouse Atom Smasher, which was in operation until 1958 and is now one of the town's historic landmarks. But even if you don't feel like smashing any atoms, you can still find plenty of excitement here.
Forest Hills is about 10 miles outside of Center City Pittsburgh, covering 1.6 square miles. Finding rental housing may not be too challenging; however, you may find that the pricing is higher than average. Many of the residents are both educated and wealthy, and more established than the young professional crowd. This brings a distinct tenor to Forest Hills that, for the right person, could mean a long term rental. See more
Balconies are a coveted amenity for many renters looking for high-rise views and opportunities for fresh air. However, you should keep in mind that balconies often come with restrictions.
Before signing a lease, ask about how many people can be on the balcony at once. Also, ask about whether you’re allowed to store a bike or other items.
You’ll also want to know about any maintenance schedules. Using your balcony as storage could result in fines and intervention from your property management.
Keep in mind that not all balconies are created equally. You may discover the views of the parking area are less than optimal or reduce your overall privacy.
Balconies can also get messy with debris, foliage, dirt, and pollen depending on your location. Renters are typically responsible for any clean-up and basic balcony upkeep.
Regardless of the issues to keep in mind, balconies are usually a big win for Forest Hills renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
