[Highland Park] Outstanding TOWNHOME Rental in Aspinwall
by Joan Anson 22 Nov '09

22 Nov '09

I will soon be leaving Aspinwall (since buying a place in HP) and thought that I would share this, having enjoyed my stay at River Oaks Apartments so much. Spread the word to colleagues or friends who may be relocating or just desirous of this type of rental townhome community. Most neighbors come from local universities or hospitals. Great spot for those moving to Pittsburgh and want to rent before deciding to buy: Lovely two story, 2 Bedroom townhome with 1and 1/2 bath (powder room) in Aspinwall for rent. Also has eat-in kitchen. Reasonable rent has not gone up in 5 years! Small private patio off of living room. Beautiful pool for all residents to enjoy. On site access to small park for children including a walking trail and shelter for picnics. This is an exceptionally well-maintained community. Because utilities are billed on a shared basis, they are also very reasonable. For more information call Joan at 412-784-1579 or Linda West (Manager) at 412-781-9300. This community called River Oaks Apartments, is one of Pittsburgh's best kept secrets. (My realtor didn't even know it existed)! Thanks. Joan

[Highland Park] one more car theft
by Jean Thomas 21 Nov '09

21 Nov '09

A guest left her station wagon unlocked for about 45 minutes Friday afternoon. That was enough time for someone to take two suitcases and leave other things in a jumble. Interestingly enough, a blue gym bag containing shoes (large) socks, shorts, etc that did not belong to her was left in the car. The theft was reported and the bag given to the police officer. So this is yet another reminder to ALWAYS LOCK YOUR CAR. Jean Thomas

My wife and I are look for obedience classes for our new 6 month old puppy, or for a trainer that is willing to do private sessions that aren't too expensive. Does anyone have any suggestions on trainers that are close to Highland Park? Thanks, Matt Richards
