553 Sloop Rd

A mid-rise condominium complex built in 1975, this residential community clusters garden-style buildings around landscaped grounds and shared courts. Units are primarily one-bedroom and two-bedroom flats arranged on one or two levels, with a mix of first-floor patios and second-floor private balconies. Architecture is straightforward late-20th-century suburban multifamily design: brick-and-siding facades, walkways between buildings, and sheltered interior garage bays. Interiors vary by unit but commonly include open living/dining layouts, modest updated kitchens, single full baths, in-unit or on-floor coin laundry, and generous closet and storage rooms. Common amenities emphasize outdoor recreation and convenience: an on-site swimming pool, lighted tennis courts, a community picnic/grill area, party room, and car-wash bay in the garage. Practical building services include controlled entry/intercom, on-site parking (assigned indoor spaces plus exterior guest lots), building laundry facilities, snow removal, landscaping maintenance, and trash collection; condo dues typically cover water, sewage and trash. Pet policies are permissive with size and fee limits and board approval for rentals. The complex sits in McCandless near major highways, shopping nodes such as Ross Park Mall, and regional transit corridors, offering suburban ease with relatively quick access to downtown Pittsburgh and the airport.
