The Flats at Summit Station

I have a beautiful apartment, but it faces into a courtyard. I can see very little of the sky. Most of the apartments have windows facing an interior courtyard. It is not ideal. It is something like Blade Runner… But the management is very kind, and the apartment community is just a five minute walk to the Montour Trail.

I am going on four years of living at The Flats at Summit Station and I can't speak highly enough about the management or the maintenance staff. Both are exceptional and have been very responsive to my inquiries or service requests. They care about the maintenance of their property (both inside and out) as I was about my own homes prior to moving here. I looked at many properties before moving into The Flats and I am happy that I made the absolute right choice.

I’ve lived here since June, and while the property itself is clean, safe, and the staff has been friendly, the noise from my upstairs neighbors has become very disruptive. It often sounds like constant stomping and banging at all hours, making it difficult to rest or enjoy being at home. I understand some noise is expected in apartment living, but this goes beyond normal and affects daily life. I truly enjoy the community otherwise, but I believe management needs to address this issue so residents can feel comfortable in their own apartments.

Overall, we are pleased with our apartment at the Flat’s at Summit Station. The maintenance staff and office staff are really helpful and responsive to issues that arise. The amenities (i.e. washer/dryer in apartment, pool, clubhouse, grill and outdoor area, etc…) and location near the Montour Trail and T station are definite positives. In terms of negatives: The owners did raise the rent notably one year (with more modest increases the other years) and the shops that were to be built are still no where to be found. The builders work was a C at best. I would recommend the Flat’s as an upscale apartment option in the South Hills.

We really enjoyed living at the flats. Amenities, quality of facilities, maintenance attention, and staff were all exceptional. The properties are well maintained and any minor issues with a unit were always handled immediately. We found the community to be very welcoming, and was the perfect place to meet some friendly and familiar faces.
