I am sharing another review for the Bridge on Forbes! I have been enjoying my spacious room and all the amenities. I love the gym equipped with all machines to keep you healthy and the clubhouse next door to relax and watch TV...or to play pool! The quiet study rooms in the clubhouse also offer a great place to get work done. The staff has always been very friendly and I feel safe at night knowing the doors to the building lock and that there is building security on call. Very comforting in an urban environment. Highly recommend!

I was in Pittsburgh this weekend apartment hunting with my daughter. Miami, at the Bridge , met with us and showed us around and answered all of our questions! We were very impressed with the complex and greatlynappreciated how thorough Miami was!

Bridge on Forbes has been one of the best places I’ve lived. The rooms are very nice and the amenities are great. The receptionists are always very helpful and the people are great.

The apartments are spacious and well furnished. I did have a few issues after moving in, and the staff at the front desk (both Miami and Francela) were very helpful in getting the maintenance requests in and the items were fixed within 48 business days. The staff at the front desk are super friendly and always willing to help out as much as they can.The biggest issues is that there is limited communication between the Bridge on Forbes and the University of Pittsburgh-Panther Central. This often leaves tenants feeling confused and going back and forth between both parties. If communication between both were improved, I would give this a 5 star

The apartments themselves are great. It is everything you need as a college kid living in Pittsburgh. Location is great too, it is about a 10 minute walk to the Cathedral of Learning on Pitts campus. Leasing prices are a bit expensive, but that is for the location Im assuming. Very helpful that they offer parking in their garage for residents who buy a spot, but again the price is a little high for it. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is because it was tedious and time consuming dealing with the front desk workers with information about not renewing my lease when I graduated. These workers are mainly college kids who arent the most informed on what to do in every situation, so it was a hassle to climb the management ladder and find someone who could help me with transferring my lease. That being said, the time spent there was great, and Id recommend it to anyone looking for a college apartment who can afford it.

The staff at Bridge on Forbes has been so incredibly helpful to our family. As a transfer student (during the pandemic), my son Matt needed housing and found a great opportunity at this complex. The staff was responsive, solution oriented and just a pleasure to work with. Id highly recommend for Pitt students!

Really good location, a walk from all the buzzing food places around. The reception is always welcoming and maintenance is timely. The elevators keep having issues but other than that it’s a great place to live in as a college student.

Review №18

This place looks nice from the outside but once you live here you realize just how cheaply made it really is. walls are very thin so i can hear normal conversations through them, i hear music and conversations from apartments multiple floors above me, and management is very unhelpful. they really only care about the athletes that live here. also, at least one elevator is broken at any given moment, and they take their sweet time fixing them. when i moved in, my bed was close to falling apart because someone from maintenance put a screw in wrong before i got there. overall, not a good experience. the only plus is that the apartments come furnished. save yourself and look elsewhere for places to live. you can definitely find ones in better condition for less money around here.

This is my second year living here at Bridge on Forbes and it has been a great experience. The location is great for students who go to Pitt and the staff are always very friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend others to live here and will hopefully live here another year. The amenities are very nice and I enjoy utilizing the study rooms.

I was fortunate enough to be one of the first residents in bridge, and had a wonderful experience there. They host events for residents regularly, which is always something to look forward to. The stuff, including the leasing office, security, cleaning, and maintenance were all amazing people. Even after I am not a resident anymore, the leasing office stuff, especially Neil, still helped me find a package that’s been shipped there by accident. I had a truly great year in the bridge and I’m sure everyone will do!

An oasis in the middle of a bustling city, The Bridge on Forbes is the best off campus apartment building I have ever experienced on a college campus. The staff is always incredibly welcoming and willing to do what they must to make things work. The amenities are cutting edge as well. From free coffee to a state of the art work out facility, this place takes your living experience to the next level. The study rooms, common area with a pool table, and outdoor fire pit offer great destinations to hangout with friends within the comfort of your apartment complex. The location in Oakland is also perfect as it is close enough to everything that you can easily get to any part of campus, but it is just far enough away that it never feels overwhelmingly busy. I cannot recommend this place enough!

This review is specifically in regards to the Bridge on Forbes renewal process. I have lived here since the building opened and just renewed to live here for a third year (there are several pros and cons I can get into about why I decided to stay at this building which I can elaborate on in a later review). I am switching apartments due to my roommate graduating and the entire process was very easy. All I had to do was fill out a Google Form with my interest in it and then the Bridge on Forbes staff took care of it. I want to give a shoutout to Caitlin and Neil for constantly helping out with all of my issues and quickly answering me when I have any questions or concerns. For renewal, there is a fee associated with switching to a new apartment, however, it is ultimately in the tenants benefit because it allows for a seamless transition from one apartment to another. The only concern I have with the process is that there is a two week window in which the office can call and give you a notice that the new apartment is ready and from that point, you only get 24 hours to move all your stuff. It should be completely possible, but that is the only drawback of the renewal process that I can think of. Overall, very positive experience with renewing at this building!

The Bridge is a fantastic location in the middle of Oakland! Its easy walking distance from all the restaurants on Forbes. The gym facilities are incredible (like 2 pelotons great)! The study rooms and free coffee make for a relaxed environment inside and the outdoor spaces are amazing for large groups of friends in the summer. The staff is always friendly and they take care of any questions quickly. Its close to anything you would want to do in Oakland but feels like a retreat when youre there. Its a great apartment complex and I highly recommend living there!

Review №44

Everything about the building is capitalistic. To start, they lease apartments by the bedroom. While they market this as a flexibility proposition, it is truly just so they can turn a $2000/month apartment into $3000.Upon moving out, I was charged over $4000 for 8 chip marks (about a square inch each) and for leaving a new toilet paper roll for the next tenant. To be clear, $400 could easily paint the entire bedroom and more(and you wouldnt even need to paint the ceiling bc they never finished it and left exposed concrete). Upon disputing the charge, I was informed that the price to repaint the building is the exact amount they are charged from a vendor. It is laughable to suggest a massive corporation this complex is being charged over $400 to barely paint a room. If that is the agreement they have, then this company is ripping off the average person. Regardless, I did sign a lease that stated I am responsible. That being said, I signed a lease thinking the charge of repainting the place would be relatively the average market price (let alone 50x that). For a country that is facing massive economic and financial distress, it is a disgusting display of American capitalism to charge this amount.Happy to be moved out and would recommend any other students or young professionals to go one block down and sign a lease with skyview.In response to the comment by the management below, I have attached my exaggeration. Sorry for for saying 400 instead of 397...

BOF is a really cool housing for students. The apartment is newly made and with comfortable amenities from free coffee in the common lounge, to study rooms, to a workout facility to good setups within the housing unit itself. The staff is very welcoming and willing to help in all situations. The location is awesome with a CVS right in front, close bus stops to campus/downtown and tonnes of restaurants. The community is full of students, and is safe!

Review №49

I have quite a few complaints about this establishment. I am a resident so believe that this is all true.1. They told us that there are no more parking spots, yet if you go in the second floor lot, there are about 20-50 open spots, none of which are EVER filled.2. Our window screens dont work. In fact, none in the building work. They purchased cheap screens that fall off the windows, resulting in us using our air and driving up our electricity bill. Speaking of that bill, its not included in the obscenely high rent.3. The elevators break on a weekly basis.4. The lobby smells like cigarettes often due to construction workers who smoke.5. The trash chutes are often locked6. Our drawers in our kitchen still do not work, AFTER being fixed.7. The staff is too incompetent to handle our mail, that we had to register for an amazon hub, that half our mail does not even get sent to. Also we have received quite threatening emails about registering, that if we do not register, then we will not receive mail and it would be returned to the sender.Overall, there are many things built poorly in our apartment that have resulted in safety issues, that we have thankfully caught and had fixed by the wonderful helpful maintenance men (we love you maintenance

Bridges on Forbes is an amazing place to live. They have SO much to offer including a gym that you can go to at anytime, a tanning bed that is so easy to use, not even including the things you get in the home that you can’t compare anything else to. The people that work here are so kind mostly the people at the front desk greeting you. Love this place so much & I recommend anyone no matter what age to live here, you won’t regret it!

Great staff and a great place! Really one of those bang for your buck places! When my daughter first brought The Bridge on Forbes as a living option for sophomore year, I was a little on edge because of the price, but I cant even begin to tell you how well it has paid off. Compared to some of the other places in the area, I would pay double for The Bridge any day!

Review №61

The utility bills are OBSCENELY high. It is around $100-$140/month of utilities to be exact, PER PERSON. The electricity bill is as HIGH as a FOUR BEDROOM house, for a 2-person apartment, who barely uses their appliances, air conditioner, etc. I have even called to try and ameliorate this over-charging in the bills, but the Bridge office was unfortunately no help and said I had to call someone else, and they were also zero help. Also worth mentioning: During the first few months of living here, there was a really bad fruit fly problem in the trash room, so bad that they infested our apartment for a MONTH even when we had put out traps, apple cider vinegar, etc. The window screens do NOT stay on the windows no matter what, and end up taking up an unnecessary amount of space on the floor of our apartment. I truly was excited to live here, but now I’m excited to move out.

I truly do enjoy the people that work here. However, the stuff that goes on at night is ridiculous sometimes. There’s little enforcement of anything and sound travels extremely easy.

EDIT: After posting the below review, Caitlin from The Bridge on Forbes reached out to me to correct any ongoing issues and I am happy to say everything has been resolved. Thank you Caitlin!The people that work at the front desk and maintenance workers are very friendly! A lot of other things are DEFINITELY NOT WORTH THE PRICE OF RENT! To name a few: the dryer in our unit was broken for weeks, the dish washer in our unit was broken for weeks, the ceiling in our unit has a hole in it/came unfinished, the outdoor patio area of our apartment came with a hole in the drywall that has still never been fixed, water started pouring out of the ceiling in one of the bathrooms, and during the warmer weather months the hallways near the trash room were filled with fruit flies.

UPDATE: After the Bridges comment wanting to make it up to me, I wanted to update my review to that they did LITERALLY NOTHING. They refused to look at my photos proving that I didnt do the damage. They said because I signed an as-is agreement, I would become financially responsible for all existing damages. They also sent me the average for painting costs - NOT WHAT MY UNIT ACTUALLY COST, and said I would be sent to collections if I didnt pay by the end of the month. Every other management company would treat that as that they wouldnt do cleaning & their own inspection, not to hand off the bill. Super shady business practice. Moving is expensive anyway, so its great to be given a $600 unexpected bill :) Even though Bridge has good reviews, look up their parent company, Cardinal Group Management, and you will see my experience is unfortunately not unique.ORIGINAL: This is a great concept for a building, but if you live here, be prepared for poor construction and to be nickel-and-dimed upon move-out. If you scroll through the 5-star reviews, be mindful that many of them are written by people who have not yet moved in for giftcards. I would not recommend living here unless money is not a concern for you.I recently graduated from another university and relocated to Pittsburgh in May for work. I took over 2 months of a Pitt student’s lease while I searched for a more long-term rental. When I was going through the re-let process, I was informed that I would be taking the unit as-is and that I would be held responsible for damages in the unit at the end of the term. There was NO option to do a move-in checklist and note previous damages, which was strange as the rental company was involved with re-letting. I am now stuck with a bill of nearly $600 for damages, many of which were present when I moved in. Some of these “damages” are things that should not have occurred due to poor construction. Command strips ripped off the paint and left holes in the drywall, which was obviously not the intention and what using them is supposed to prevent. This made up almost $400 in damages, of which is due to poor construction (which were present upon move in and I have pics). This should not have happened in a building that was ONE YEAR OLD. Also, let it be noted that per the lease charges for damages and what I was billed for, the touch up paint cost almost double what it should have! I was also charged for them to clean my bathroom and carpets – even though I vacuumed and deep cleaned the entire bathroom before leaving! I have never dealt with a landlord that does not take it as THEIR responsibility to clean between residents anyway. Due to COVID, Forbes should have planned on this anyway as a safety measure! Just because a room looks clean doesn’t mean it is, especially when a building is primarily students.With coronavirus, management closed all amenities, which was responsible. HOWEVER, the money they saved by not upkeeping amenities should have been used to sanitize rooms after leaving. This is even more shameful after not giving residents ANY discount despite not being able to use many of the amenities for which people signed leases in the first place.For a “luxury” apartment, the bedframe stands are literally made of plastic and I was worried mine would break and shook all the time. Our dishwasher also consistently flooded our floor even after putting in maintenance requests. Our air conditioner unit broke about every 2 weeks which resulted in maintenance requests (they did solve the problem each time, but this shouldn’t be a frequent issue in the first place!). Outside noise was frequent from the hospitals/ambulances, and I’m surprised they didn’t put in more soundproofing given that and the courtyard that faces many bedrooms. Utility bills are super high too. While this might not be the management’s fault, someone is often illegally parked at the entrance of the garage, creating quite a blind spot when trying to get out onto Forbes which I’m actually surprised hasn’t caused an accident (to my knowledge at least).

Review №80

I lived in the bridge on Forbes this past year. The apartment was nice, and so were the amenities. There is no doubt that this is luxury apartment living. However, the management was less than easy to work with. Being a new building, it took time for the staff to adjust and for the building to begin to run smoothly. After a few months, many of the original staff left. The new staff were not much older than the students living there. The employees that were hired to represent the BOF were not knowledgeable about the rules and practices of the building, often leaving us misinformed and frustrated— especially around move in and move out. Sometimes, the staff would be helpful. However, most times, they were not understanding, rude, and snarky. The management was non-responsive to many of our emails and concerns. Many of the email blasts were unclear, leaving room for much miscommunication and confusion. It was incredibly difficult to understand protocol and what was expected of the residents. It was just plainly difficult to work with this poor management.Many of the students were quite wild on the weekends and not under control. There would constantly be smells of weed, and quite frequently vomit on the carpets and in the elevator. It was very loud late at night during the week. This was very unpleasant. I wish the staff and management had enforced the rules across the board . There was no accountability for these residents.I understand many of the residents are college students (as am I). However this was beyond the expected behavior of college students. It really was not pleasant. I am not sure if the inflated rent of this living was worth the poor service and unprofessional staff/ management. I am happy to not review my lease.I have no doubt that the 5 star reviews left are honest and reflect others experiences. However, I do know that the staff incentivizes leaving a good review with gift cards and other prizes. Keep that in mind when reading the reviews.

A swanky apartment building on Forbes Ave that houses majorly students and student athletes from the University of Pittsburgh. Has a modern-industrial style to it with exposed ceilings and piping. Not really my style personally, but its consistent which is good. Central air & heating works great. Appliance overall work pretty well. Has a good lounge & good study areas. Gym is awesome. Its a good size and it never gets overly crowded. Close to all the happenings on Forbes ave but not right in the middle of it, which is better for the street noise issue. You do hear ambulances alot since youre surrounded my hospitals on all sides but that didnt bother me. The biggest noise issue came along with living right against one of the outside lounge areas. It gets VERY loud on weekends and on many weekday nights (weather permitting, so this doesnt really happen in the winter). About half of the units face one of the two outside lounges. They are timely with most maintenance issues. However there were some major issues we had that they did not act timely on at all. We were without a dryer for a month (thank God for the patio) and had a fruit fly infestation for weeks, which they didnt actually do anything about and my roomates and I were left to deal with it. As a student the resident activities and free food was awesome. The athletes are rowdy since most of them are underclassmen. Furniture is simple which makes the place look clean and anyway you decorate matches. Beds are AMAZING. So large & comfy. Lots of room for under the bed storage too. Seeing a dog here & there is fun. Coffee bars are amazing. The staff could do slightly better at filling them when they are in service but overall not terrible. TV works very well. Wifi can be spotty, often does not compat with Zoom. Electric bills are unusually high. Does not have a homey feel whatsoever.Covid stuff: they kept the building clean and closed the gyms and lounges which is good. When sports teams move in all the university people wear masks which is good. The act of taking precautions get 5 stars.Overall not a bad place, rent is pricey (super pricey when you cant use the amenities). If youre more about the simple things in life, which I have grown to be while living here,, this place is not for you & not worth the rent. Its not the coziest place. But its sustaining. It was a nice place to live amidst the pandemic.

Although I experienced a unique construction issue, the staff was very flexible through their quick and generous resolution of my concerns. I plan to continue living there and I highly recommend the Bridge on Forbes to students seeking excellent off campus living accommodations.

Incredibly rude, condescending, and unprofessional staff. They are unwilling to assist with anything that does not fit their ideas. Be prepared to have a lease generated for a floor plan that you did not request, and be given a deadline of the same day to sign the lease. Incredibly disappointing service.
