Emerald Gardens

Emerald Gardens looks like a good place to live at first glance; however as you start living there you see more cons than pros. I will list a couple of them below for prospective tenants. Please keep those in mind before you move here:

Cons:

1. The neighborhood is not safe. It is very close to McKees Rocks and Sheraden. I don`t think you can walk around the complex when the sun sets.

2. Heating is a problem in these units. Downstairs is super cold and upstairs is always burning as hell. The way heating has been set up is super weird. During winter make sure you have tons of blankets downstairs. If you have kids as we do that should be very tough.

3. The walls are so thin. You can hear every possible conversation of your neighbors and I am pretty sure they hear ours.

4. The units do not have washers and dryers so you have to use the community laundry rooms which are plenty. There are some rude neighbours who dare to touch your clothes or laundry rooms are used by outsiders. Not safe!!!.

5. No place to entertain kids.

6. Parking is an issue. Tenants do not have designated parking areas so it is very possible for you to park on other streets and walk to your apt in the middle of the night because your neighbor has 4 cars and they have already blocked the entire court.
