  • Management is terrible and they won't give your deposit back.

    September 21, 2024
    In general, the units themselves are good. However the manager is so incompetent! They don't answer your emails, they won't answer your calls. Are the telephones working?? When you go to the office, they are not helpful. --- I wanted to move to another unit within the Drake and the management office took more that a month to give me the lease to sign. I constantly followed up, but still took a month. When everything was done, the new lease was signed, on the move-in date I went to get the ...
    keys for my new apartment and realized that the new apartment is not ready and it took them two days to prepare the apartment. After the move, I paid the security deposit for the new unit and they said they will mail a check to return my security deposit of the previous unit (thousands of dollars). As of today (almost 60 days after I returned the keys and I provided will all required information), I am still waiting to get my check. This is clearly violating PA landlord-tenant law. ---- Maintenance issues get weeks to get resolved. I need to constantly follow-up on everything. The chute is clogged and it took them weeks to fix it. Some ACs in the hallway (and gym) do not work. I have to ask multiple times to for maintenance to fix small issues in the unit.

    The Drake has a very bad mouse/rat infestation problem. Management does nothing about it. it is terrible. They do not respond to emails, the trash chute , elevators never work. I have had a mice problem for MONTHS and nothing is being done about it. Ive been living at the Drake for about 4yr. Just explore your options.

  • Great leasing team & classic property

    February 9, 2024
    The leasing team at The Drake was incredibly helpful when my wife and I were looking at apartments in Center City. Jasmine, the manager, was compassionate and supportive when unexpected challenges arose from our end; Colleen graciously showed us multiple different units and patiently answered our many questions; and Tyler was friendly and accommodating every time we spoke with him by phone. We were treated with the utmost respect and care by the team at The Drake, and highly recommend them and ...

  • Love living here.... (Verified Renter)

    September 19, 2022
    Love living here. A few minuses: cell phone reception can be dicey, but on the plus side I suspect that's because of the thick walls, which keep things very quiet. Also, the building's original fire alarm system has false alarms about 3-4 times a year, which can be very disruptive when they happen. Units also have more modern ceiling smoke detectors, which work fine. But the pluses: location, convenience, views, friendliness of staff. A little bit of history isn't for everyone, but I like it.

    Happy with our apartment, but common areas of Drake have deteriorated over the years. E.g., how long before filthy wooden patch in south elevator (not to mention disgusting flooring) is replaced? Two more years?
