Homewood House sits at 7130 Frankstown Ave in Pittsburgh's Homewood South neighborhood, and it's really built for seniors who want both comfort and a supportive place to live, with one- and two-bedroom apartment homes that are affordable and have floor plans around 700 square feet if you go with the one-bedroom options, and there's lots of natural light because the apartments have big windows and updated appliances, and you'll also see some nice landscaping outside, which gives the place a pleasant feel. Residents get both communal and private living spaces, and if you need help moving from a bed to a wheelchair, staff are trained to assist, and they're available 24 hours a day in case of emergencies, so you're never left to figure things out on your own, plus they help residents manage daily living tasks, and they've got ways to help people with diabetes monitor insulin too. The place offers maintenance services for both private apartments and shared spaces, meals are provided so you don't have to worry about shopping or cooking, and there are interior features focused on accessibility, but exact details can vary by unit, and if you want air conditioning you can ask for it.
There's a secure lease application process, and fair housing laws apply here, so there's protection for everyone including people of all gender identities, orientations, and sources of income, and you can get information about income guidelines and how affordable housing applications work, with leasing terms at 12 months and some units where utilities might be included in the rent, though specifics vary, and you'll need a security deposit plus any application or administrative fees. There are three units available, all with one bed and one bath, parking's available, and the building's pet-friendly, so you can bring a small animal with you if that's important. Inside, there are open common areas for socializing, a fitness center, and programs meant to keep everyone moving and talking, and there are community spaces to gather in, plus you can get outside in the grounds or connect with the property manager if you have questions.
Homewood House was built in 1984, so it's been part of the Pittsburgh landscape a long time, and it sits near the Homewood North neighborhood as well as cities like Aspinwall, Blawnox, and Sharpsburg, with a walk score of 53 meaning you can walk to some things if you want, and a transit score of 57 means public transportation is decent if you don't drive. There's an option to see floor plans, check availability, view photos or even take a virtual tour, and the website has an electronic brochure and an accessible version so people can find the information they need, and you can leave a message or set up a tour through the site. Office hours run Monday through Friday from 9 am to 6 pm and Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm, so there's time to stop in if you want to see things in person and get a better sense of the place. The facility focuses on supporting independence but offers assisted living services too, and aims to help residents stay active, connected, and comfortable, but for more detailed information about what's exactly included like which utilities are covered or which specific amenities the apartments have, it's good to reach out directly because some things differ from unit to unit.
