Eight-story high rise building made up of studio, 1 and 2 bedroom apartments. All apartments are equipped with a/c and central heat. Front side apartments face scenic downtown and rear side apartments are splashed with the morning sun, great for live plants and garden area. Located in Squirrel Hill, this location avails itself to quick access to the waterfront, downtown Pittsburgh, Oakland, Shadyside, the new East Side area, South Side flats and Monroeville (via the Parkway).
This property is funded through HUD’s Public Housing program. These properties are typically owned and managed by a Public Housing Authority. These properties tend to be much older, as no new public housing has been built in many years. Since the Federal budget has historically (and notoriously) underfunded public housing renovations for decades, these properties tend to have higher vacancies due to uninhabitable units or liveable units that are in poor condition. In addition, since all public housing properties offer rent subsidies, low-income residents only pay rent based on their incomes. For that reason, these properties tend to have longer waiting lists. Check our public housing waiting list data for more information. Since Murray Towers participates in the Public Housing program and has a property based subsidy, if you have a Section 8 voucher, you would have to give up your voucher to move in.
