About Fairfax Apartments
Fifth Avenue in Pittsburgh, like New York City's famed street, is the original thoroughfare that brought the city's captains of industry to their once "modest" country homes. Today, the Fairfax stands as testament to the riches of Pittsburgh's history as one of the city's most resplendent apartment addresses. For over a century, Oakland has served as Pittsburgh's cultural hub. The University of Pittsburgh, and its world renowned medical facilities, sports programs and research institutes have drawn together a prominent community with a very distinctive lifestyle. The Fairfax sits at the heart of this dynamic neighborhood. Within a three block radius can be found the Carnegie Museum of Art and Natural History, Carnegie Music Hall, Schenley Park and the Campus of Carnegie Mellon University. Equally as prominent are the many fine shops and restaurants and businesses which serve the vibrant community of Oakland. Public transportation is convenient to Pittsburgh.
