The Northview Heights High Rise is nestled in the corner of the gated Northview Heights family community. The building contains 55 2-bedroom apartments and 32 1-bedroom apartments for seniors and the disabled. The high rise is easily accessible by public transportation. It is conveniently located on the Northside of Pittsburgh between the North Hills shopping district of McKnight Road and the North Shore business district, which includes many attractions such as PNC Park, Heinz Field, the Carnegie Science Center and The Rivers Casino. Services available to high rise residents include a senior center, food bank and a senior living enhancement program. There is an on-site doctor's office and a convenience store/deli located within the high rise.
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 Northview Heights High Rise 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.
