I'll question this... lived here for 5 years and you never get used to the helicopters. On days when windows are open I generally have to pause the TV multiple times per evening to let choppers fly past. I live in Allegheny Commons and don't always feel safe here. I wouldn't live over by E Ohio and most who are about to downvote don't really live here to know the truth

I have a friend who lives in the Schoolhouse Apartments, so I have visited many times on the weekends and have never really felt uncomfortable walking in the immediate couple of blocks around his place. I will say though once I drive down to East Ohio, I definitely see characters who I would understand why people would not feel comfortable walking by at night.

I lived there for 5 years. I was only hassled once or twice, but I'm a big guy. I never quite got used to the helicopters or light pollution (I didn't have to turn on lights to go to the bathroom at night). What used to be REALLY bad was the backup beepers on the equipment at/by AGH. Just constant high pitched beeping from 8am to 4pm.

Thank you! May I ask how close you were from AGH for reference? Obviously don’t need to give exact location, just want to scope out how far

I was in Allegheny center, Parkview facing AGH. In general, I liked it. Fenced parking lot was nice for sure.
