Please help - Looking for a home to rent or buy!

Highland Park Friends and Neighbors, We have loved being apart of the Highland Park community for the last 11 years and are hoping you can help us continue to make Highland Park our home. Recently our landlord informed us that they were planning to sell and while they offered to sell to us first, between the asking cost and necessary upkeep repairs, we aren’t able to make it work. Do you know of any homes to rent or buy in the greater Highland Park Area, either now or in the next three months? Or do you know anyone who has a rental or might be moving? We are looking for at least 2 bedrooms if not 3 but 1 bathroom is fine. We have been good tenants for 11 years between 2 rentals. As well, we have been pre-approved for a home purchasing loan up to $300,000. My husband, daughter and I love living in Highland Park - my daughter walks to school and my husband bikes to work each day, our neighbors are great and we love chatting over the fence or on the sidewalk with them, cheering on the marathoners along Highland Ave. each year has become a tradition, we can walk to so many of our friends homes, Bryant Street Market is our go-to for bread and treats, and the park itself has sustained many a lovely walk along side and chatting with a friend - to name only a few of the reasons why. Thank you for your help and thoughtfulness - please respond as you are able or pass on our e-mail to anyone you think might be able to help. Looking forward to hearing from you & hope you & yours have a fun and sunny Highland Park Summer!

Highland park apartment
by Maureen Copeland 23 Jun '22

23 Jun '22

Hi neighbors, I had an apartment set up for a friend that’s visiting for the summer. Unfortunately, that turned out to be a scam, and he’s already in town. I’m looking for a 1-2BR apartment for asap thru mid-august. I can vouch for character - I promise he’s not going to trash the place or have crazy loud parties. Anyone have/know of anything available? Obviously this is hp specific, but we’re open to the general PGH area. Thanks!! -- Maureen Copeland mocopeland(a)gmail.com
