  • Callous and unprofessional landlord!

    November 21, 2024
    The building and its surroundings are unclean and poorly maintained. The landlord increases the rent annually without making any repairs. Be prepared for plumbing problems, such as a leaky ceiling.
    • Property Manager Responded

      November 26, 2024

    Overall, this apartment living experience was really good. All maintenance requests were taken care of, concerns were heard, and the owner was extremely approachable regarding any concerns we had. The apartment looks super modern inside with new and clean appliances. Overall, very well done apartment.

    No parking, nothing has ever fixed correctly, and the rent goes up a lot every year.

    I have been at this location for over a year now. It's pretty nice. I have nice respectful neighbors. It's very close to regional rail and septa bus routes.
