5 Bayard Rd

A mid-century high-rise condominium completed in 1969, this multi-story residential tower offers one- to three-bedroom homes configured around a central elevator core. The exterior presents a straightforward, functional façade typical of late-1960s urban residential construction, set on landscaped grounds with mature trees and courtyards. Interiors vary by unit but commonly include open living/dining flows, kitchens with islands or breakfast bars, walk-in closets in master suites, built-in pantry storage and updated finishes in many homes. Building systems and common spaces have seen periodic upgrades, with features such as central vacuum access, intercom/video entry, and a mix of original and modernized windows and HVAC components. Shared amenities emphasize community and convenience: a staffed 24-hour security presence, an exercise room, a party/meeting room with catering kitchen, guest accommodations, laundry facilities on each floor, storage/locker areas, and a rooftop deck and patio for entertaining. Parking is available in an on-site garage for an additional monthly fee. Policies in listings historically restrict smoking, pets, and leasing to certain terms; maintenance fees commonly include many utilities and building services. Located in Pittsburgh’s Shadyside/Oakland corridor, the building sits within walking distance of universities, hospitals, shopping corridors, transit routes and eateries, supporting an urban, pedestrian-oriented lifestyle.
