  • Very Professional Team & Excellent Complex

    May 29, 2024
    We enjoyed living here for the past year, but had to move due to our first baby being born and needing a larger place to live. Throughout our time here we didn't have any issues and the leasing agent Ellen & the Penn Crest team were very professional and responsive in making it the most comfortable stay. We thank everyone at Penn Crest and would recommend it to any individuals or families searching for a new place to reside.
    • Property Manager Responded

      May 31, 2024
      Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled you enjoyed your time at Penn Crest. Congratulations on your new addition, and best wishes in your new home!

  • Very nice place.

    September 21, 2022
    This is a nice apartment complex to live in. It is very quiet and very close to the elementary school and high school that my kids go to. There is a very nice swimming pool and large lawn area if you wanted to have a get together. There is also a nice fenced in dog area for your dog to run around in. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the pricing is very reasonable. I would definitely recommend living here, my family and I lived there for 3 years.
    Review from Apartments.com
  • Poor Experience

    May 21, 2022
    Did not feel safe living here. Street fights. Someone was stabbed here at the complex. Maintenance was unresponsive. Apartment was falling apart. Cracks in the patio deck and walls. Very poor insulation with leaky windows. Common area smells and looks like it has not been changed since the 1960s. Common area is not secured despite laundry area. Very loud between thin walls and neighbors and multiple visits from landscaping. Old plumbing pipes that caused multiple sewage and sink clogging issues

  • Wouldn’t recommend

    April 29, 2021
    Unfortunately we moved in a few months before the pandemic. We picked this complex over others because of the pool and didn’t get the opportunity to use it. While I love the apartment set up it’s hard to enjoy it when it sounds as if a literal circus is operating above you daily. Since moving in there hasn’t been a single day of any quiet time. It’s extremely frustrating and makes living here hard to enjoy.

  • Best place to live!

    March 19, 2021
    The apartments are spacious, tons of storage and closet space. The grounds are kept cleaned and nicely landscaped. The staff is attentive and always willing to help. Plenty of space for kids to run around, quiet and safe neighborhood. Penn Crest will always be home, I love it here!
    Review from Apartments.com
  • Its OK

    March 14, 2021
    Apartment appliances and carpet are old and out of date. Common areas are also outdated and old, and walls are so thin that you can hear the washer and dryer running and neighbors talking. Neighbors refuse to wear masks in common areas during COVID. People not from the complex blasting loud music in the parking lot at night.

    September 16, 2020
    These apartments are exactly what the pictures and descriptions say. My family lived here for some time and had a great experience. The area, neighbors and staff are wonderful. Truly had a positive experience with this company. Anytime I had a concern the staff was readily available and willing to fix any issue. Definitely recommend for single person or family.

    May 1, 2020
    Our Penn Crest apartment home has been wonderful-so wonderful that we stayed for almost 10 years! The staff is very friendly and responds to any issues or problems quickly and efficiently. The maintenance staff is also incredible-they always answer a call and take care of whatever needs to be done with a smile. The apartment was beautiful, spacious and the grounds were always very well maintained. And the pool in the summer was just perfect! While we having decided to purchase a home, we ...

  • Sad to leave

    April 29, 2020
    My mother and sister lived here for 13 years. The apartment is very large with so much closet space. It is located in nice neighborhood and they never had any problems. It is quiet and conveniently located. Plenty of grassy areas for kids to play. Maintenance was always very helpful. Sad to have had to move my family. Thanks for the great years

  • Excellent apartments!

    April 2, 2020
    I recently moved out due to job relocation and I’m definitely going to miss living here. The location is great, the size and quality of the apartments are awesome for the price, and the staff is phenomenal! Ellen always made sure we were taken care of and Luis went the extra mile to make sure any issues were fixed at our convenience. Highly recommend!
