Forward Shady Apartments

Forward Shady Apartments sits at 5841 Forward Ave in Pittsburgh, PA, and offers senior housing for people 62 and older or adults 18 and up who have mobility impairments, with one-bedroom apartments only, and it's managed by SeniorCare Network for the Forward Housing Corporation. Folks living here find a computer center, a library to read or relax in, a greenhouse that brings a bit of nature indoors, along with a community room where neighbors gather for activities or a chat when the weather keeps you inside. The place allows small pets if you follow the policy, and guests can visit in your apartment or in shared spaces if you'd like some company. There's laundry facilities, wall-to-wall carpeting, your own kitchen with a stove and refrigerator, and you control your heating and air conditioning, which is handy since comfort matters at every age. The building has controlled-access entry with intercom, emergency pull cords in the apartments monitored for safety, and 24-hour emergency maintenance if something goes wrong. An on-site service coordinator's available for help when you need to arrange extra support, and the rent covers gas, water, and sewage, which can make budgeting easier. Residents have outdoor areas, snow removal, regular maintenance, and lawn service, but everyone must meet eligibility rules and pay 30% of their adjusted income. There aren't extra services or amenities beyond what's mentioned, but the apartments are well-designed to feel like home and support independent living for seniors and people with mobility challenges.
