I can only think of two companies that have nice apartments: Franklin West and Walnut Capital. Most of the others are pretty much slum lords.

I found that statement interesting. We had not sold our home prior to moving, so we needed to find a house to rent, and Craigslist was our best bet. I found a place that looked great through Walnut Capital, but all I got was an answering machine. It was crunch time and a weekend.
My husband had spent the day with a real estate agent looking at a bunch of houses to rent. I was 400 miles away, and had no clue about Pittsburgh. I did a little research, called a guy that had his cell phone listed on Walnut, and low & behold, he had an aunt that had a duplex in Regent Square that was available. Great price and a nice place.
We are not renting through Walnut, but though an agent's family connections.
We are now looking to buy in Squirrel Hill, and we have asked the Walnut Realtor to help us find the right house. He was available at the drop of a hat on a Saturday night, and had no idea if we were serious or not.
From a most of my life non-renters point of view, Walnut seems to do a good job. Disclaimer: I do not live in one of their properties.
