At Lobos Management, we believe finding the perfect apartment should be exciting—not stressful. You’ve probably typed “apartments for rent in Pittsburgh” into Google before, hoping to find a unit that fits both your style and your budget.
But at Lobos, we’re more than just listings. We’re a family-owned business that’s been part of Pittsburgh since the 1970s—over fifty years of providing quality rentals across the city’s most sought-after neighborhoods. No matter who you are, you deserve a home where you feel valued.
Keep reading to learn more about who we are, the communities we serve, and why Lobos Management offers the best value in Pittsburgh.
Our Mission
We won’t bore you with a long, historical retelling of Lobos Management. The NFL highlight reel is this: we were founded in 1973, and for decades, we’ve been active not just in real estate, but in the Pittsburgh community as a whole.
But what is our mission? Is it just to make money? Or simply to rent apartments in Pittsburgh?
According to the placard in our conference room—which we look at every day—our mission is to “bring value to our tenants through competitive rent and available customer service.”
We provide quality apartments at an affordable price, and we make sure you love living in them through top-tier customer service. Our team is available seven days a week for questions, concerns, or anything else on your mind. Whether you’re searching for apartments in Oakland or in Washington County, we’ve got your back.
At all times, we carry out our mission with our vision front and center.
Our Vision
Our vision is to provide exceptional value to both our tenants and our team members. And by value, we don’t just mean money. While we are a business, we know true value goes far beyond dollars and cents.
Our residents and employees mean the world to us, and we strive to show them their worth every single day. Lobos isn’t just a great place to live—it’s also a great place to work. That’s why we’ve built our culture around five core principles that guide everything we do.
Core Values
Our core values include…
Getting Involved. If you follow Lobos Management on social media, you’ve probably noticed that we’re always involved in something. Grass does not grow in this office (unless you count the plants in our break room!). Whether we’re building with Habitat for Humanity or planting flowers with the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, we’re proud to give back to our community.
You’ll also see us around our properties. It’s rare not to run into a friendly Lobos team member—whether it’s a property manager, leasing agent, or maintenance professional—walking the halls, checking on things, and making sure residents feel at home. Don’t be surprised if you’re greeted by name; we love knowing our residents personally.
Understanding That No One Is Above Any Job. “That’s not my job” isn’t something you’ll hear at Lobos. One of the best things about working here is wearing many hats. Our team members expand their skills, learn the ins and outs of the rental industry, and support one another in every way possible.
Being Available. At Lobos, we pick up the phone—usually on the first ring. Our residents know they can reach us seven days a week, whether it’s for a question, a repair, or just a conversation. We believe in being available when you need us most.
Prioritizing Safety, Security, and Fair Housing. Every member of our team goes through regular Fair Housing training—not just during onboarding but throughout the year. We take the Fair Housing Act seriously, ensuring that every resident is treated with fairness and respect.
Safety and security are just as important. While we can’t control every outside factor, we keep our buildings well-maintained and in good working order. Have a broken door lock? Submit a maintenance request and we’ll send someone right away. Exterior light out? Chances are one of our property managers is already on the way with a replacement bulb.
Striving for Growth. Growth at Lobos isn’t just about adding new properties—it’s about improving every day as a company and as individuals. Mistakes happen, and that’s okay. What matters is learning, adapting, and growing together.
We also invest in tools that make life easier for our residents. Our Resident Center app allows you to submit requests 24/7, and we take your feedback seriously. Your voice helps us grow and keeps us moving forward.
What Sets Us Apart
No one has to live with Lobos, and no one has to work for Lobos. So what makes us different from other property management companies?
The answer is simple: the value we provide is unmatched. Pittsburgh’s rental community has a lot to offer, but we pride ourselves on being the best of the best.
For an affordable price—especially in today’s challenging rental market—you’ll get seven-day-a-week customer service, renovated buildings that feel brand new, and a maintenance team that responds quickly when you need them.
Our Mission Statement
At Lobos, it’s not just about renting apartments—it’s about caring for our tenants and making sure every unit feels like home. We believe in building good relationships and being there when you need us.
Life can get complicated—we all know that. That’s why we work hard to keep your living experience as simple as possible. Need a repair? Just submit a request through your portal. Have a billing question? Our office staff is happy to help. Need a hand with your application? Our leasing agents are only a call or text away.
Whether you’re apartment hunting, settling in as a new resident, or have called Lobos home for years, you can reach us any day of the week. Whatever you need, we’re here for you.
