<p>I think it is a shame that Pitt has so little housing for seniors and grad students. But the good news is that March is a great time to be looking. By the end of the month, the selection will be much reduced. </p>
<p>My daughter just rented a place in Shadyside for next year. The leases start in August, from what I have seen. North Oakland and Squirrel Hill are also good areas. For safety reasons, I would avoid a ground floor unit.</p>
<p>Most apartments will be unfurnished though.</p>
<p>Here are some resources:</p>

Anyone can access this list.</p>
<p>For this one, your son needs to use his Pitt password to gain access:

<p>Here are some apartment buildings my daughter saw and liked:</p>
<p>In Shadyside, a beautiful area, and all utilities are included:
[Meyer’s</a> Management | Building Details](<a href=“http://www.meyersmanagement.com/building.php?id=1]Meyer’s”>http://www.meyersmanagement.com/building.php?id=1)</p>
<p>A bit more expensive, but very conveniently located on N. Craig Street within walking distance. And the apartments are large:

<p>My daughter didn’t look at this one, but the location is great, and lots of Pitt kids and CMU kids live here:

<p>This one is pricey, but very very convenient. And furnished units are available:
