Overall rating 7.2/10, based on 50 renter reviews Write a review
Great location
Very conveniently located near most of the major hospitals on rotations and also the medical school. Next to many restaurants and sights in Oakland as well and only a bus ride away from other important locations throughout medical school and the city.

Satisfactory grad student housing
This apartment is only available for rent to Pitt graduate students, so it is a very quiet environment. I appreciate the proximity to the medical school and hospital buildings, but this also makes it hard to "escape" school/work life. There is a 24/7 phone number to call with any concerns or requests for repairs; all repairs I have made were addressed within a day. The in unit washer and dryer are also great features.

Loved it!
I loved living alone this year in my furnished place at Darragh! Super close to the medical school.

Darragh
Overall good experience. Very close location to Scaife and the main UPMC hospitals so convenient for school. The apartment is pretty small though with relatively old appliances. You get used to the coziness though. Biggest feature is proximity to school.

Darragh Street Apartments Review
Darragh's greatest appeal is its proximity to Pitt Med's campus (it's a <5 min walk). However, the units are small and the walls are thin, and it is easy to hear roommates and neighbors. Parking is an additional fee (around $100/month), but all other utilities are included. My unit was not clean upon move-in, and maintenance is only somewhat responsive.

Location, Location, Location
Darragh is basically an apartment-style dorm for graduate students. It is far from luxurious. The appliances are usually old because they aren't replaced unless they break and cannot be fixed. But if you're lucky, you could get one with newer appliances. Most apartments have that hideous dorm-style carpet, but a few have non-carpet floors. It's truly only worth the price because of the location, which is right next to the medical school and several clinical rotation sites. I would say the only other true selling points are that all utilities are included, in-unit laundry, free maintenance, and two gyms within walking distance. The cost of the parking permit should be illegal, but they know we basically have no choice but to pay for it. It costs around $1200. There are two lots, one that's about a five-minute walk away and one that's right outside the apartment building. It takes at least two years to get off the waitlist for the latter.

Darragh St
The apartment is very convenient for a medical student as the VA and main hospitals are walking distance. However the price for the square footage is very overpriced. The rent goes up every year. If I could do it again, I would rent elsewhere. It’s too small and expensive.
