i dont know… I live in the north hills in a place called presidential arms and they run a deal where if it is your first time renting from them they give you 3 months free… and prorate it into your year accoiunt…

For example, I hjave a 2 bedroom apartment for a prerated 510 a month.  
The one bedrooms were as low as 4 something… but its in a secluded area on its own road and they are a good size…

Wilmerding is nowhere close to station square, it’s out past Turtle Creek off the Tri Boro hwy. There is a kick ass restaurant there tho, Station Brake. Other than that, I used to go down there to go to the tanning place before it closed up. Didn’t look like THAT bad of an area, kinda poor, but it could be the hood :dunno: I’ve never heard gunshot when eating dinner at Station Brake put it that way 🙂

don’t know prospect park… sounds ghetto

munhall is the other side of baldwin… not really all that close to station sq… kinda though… close as in 20ish…

west homestead is pretty ghetto…

wilmerding is close to monroeville… on the east mckeesport side…

none of those are really close to station sq… look for south side or somehting right on the other side of the fort pitt / liberty tubes… brookline area an’nat
