  • Great on paper, but beware

    March 12, 2023
    The location is great and there is a convenience factor to the property. However, I have been dealing with multiple problems since I moved into my apartment. The trash chute is frequently broken, the hot water is off multiple times a month, packages are left in the lobby unguarded, and they have a HUGE mouse problem. One person in the office is quite rude and maintenance constantly minimizes problems and jokes around without fixing them. The property looks great on paper, but be cautious because ...
    it is not as great as it seems (especially for the price).

  • Used to be good, now look elsewhere

    July 20, 2022
    Moved in 2018, loved it here. Now I can’t get out fast enough. Management will never respond, very bad mice infestation; think NYC before it’s sewer system?. Maintenance will never come, if it’s broke it’s yours to fix. Prices has increased exponentially, quality as decreased at the same rate. Save your money and sanity, look elsewhere!

  • Feels like living in the hood...

    April 9, 2021
    This place used to be a great place to live, recently it became absolutely terrible, extremely loud residents come to the building at 1 to 3 am yelling and shouting, music blasting, cussing, most of the time the building smells like weed, the maintenance suck if anything breaks good luck trying to reach someone to fix, management never answers, all in all every single thing about living here is horrible

  • Poor Building Management

    February 3, 2020
    The carpet it's so gross it should have been replaced years ago. The rent increase is outrageous. Water constantly being shut off due to poor building maintenance. If you want live in dirty apt this is the place for you. I can't wait to move out! I would not recommend this place.

    I've lived here for two years now and absolutely love it. I'm in one of the newer buildings which is in beautiful condition, and it could be a testament to the building construction itself, but I've never had an issue other than a faulty battery in a smoke detector (high ceilings - maintenance responded quickly and efficiently). I've also always felt really safe here - and as a young woman living solo for the first time, that's a really important factor for me. Everyone who works here - whether ...
    it's the maintenance team, grounds crew, or the leasing office staff - is so friendly and helpful. You can tell they take a lot of pride in keeping this place immaculate, and it makes you feel proud to live here. They do cute little pool parties and breakfast-on-the-go every now and then for residents, and you really feel like you're part of a community. And my favorite part of living here has to be the location and convenience to, well, just about anything. KOP Mall is 15 minutes away, the Norristown train station to get into the city is 10 minutes away, the turnpike/Blue Route/Schuylkill, a ton of other shopping centers, restaurants, and really anything else you'd need are within minutes. This is a fantastic place to call home.

  • The best!

    June 15, 2017
    Dekalb is one of the best apartments. I had many apartments on my list but Dekalb was the best. I even broke my prior lease to come to Dekalb. The management staff is amazing. They're very responsive and answer your calls immediately. They host various events and keep you updated on neighborhood news. The location is very ideal-having grocery stores and restaurants right across the street. They provide a safe, clean and friendly environment. I have never had any problems. The buildings are ...
    absolutely clean and up to date. They have staff coming in daily to keep it maintained. Definitely a wonderful place.

  • AMAZING!!!

    May 8, 2017
    Safe, welcoming, comfortable, really a wonderful place to call home! You can choose between more upscale, newly renovated buildings for a little more rent, or one of the older buildings that are just as functional and great places to live! Tons of parking, fantastic gym space and I cannot wait to use the pool & invite some friends!

E-Effort – The consistent and outstanding effort that is put forth of the up keep of my apartment, the buildings and the grounds from the staff to make my home beautiful.

A- Awesome Attitude- the Residents here are respectful to one another. ...
    The attitude is infectious throughout everyone at DeKalb. L-Living- “Living the Dream” the phrase on my pillow. I could not see myself having a home anywhere else. B-Beautiful- The Apartments are updated and being renovated with 21st Century touch of Classy Contemporary look, with State of the Art Fitness Centers and Community Center. Being a new resident to DeKalb, I am grateful of a wonderful place to live. Coming from a lovely established home to downsizing into an apartment home can be overwhelming, however, becoming a resident at DeKalb made my experience and expectations to be amazing and humbling. Thank you DEKALB-(Scully Company)

  • No complaints!

    September 29, 2016
    Been living in one of the older buildings for over a year now. The location is great, off the street and across from shops. It is also a very quiet and friendly environment! The people are friendly and I haven't had any experience at all with noisy neighbors. The maintenance crew is great too! They are super speedy with your requests, if I file a work order in the morning, it is always completed by that evening. And they are great about being on-call and reacting to lock-out calls (oops). Would ...
    love to stay in this complex and move into the new building (such beautiful apartments). Snow removal is also on point. We had a big blizzard last year and they were continuously plowing and salting even throughout the storm and even had the bob-cat out helping people dig out their cars. Awesome place. We love it.

  • Great!

    September 22, 2016
    I moved to Dekalb Apartments last August and I've really enjoyed my time here so far. It is my first time living on my own at 22 and Dekalb Apartments really made the transition pleasant. The apartments are clean, laundry and rubbish are accessible on each floor, and there are two gyms. The Dekalb representatives are willing to help and are quick to respond via email. The maintenance team has been very helpful too. The location is really convenient. I'm 20-30 minutes away from Philly and the ...
    highway is very close. I'm incredibly happy with this place!

  • Great apartment for the price

    September 22, 2016
    I live in one of the older buildings (classic) and the apartment is nice for the price. Maintenance requests are usually a quick turnaround. Rent bill is posted online & can be paid online (for a fee). The electric (classic buildings are Monitor Data) can be paid online (for a fee) as well for added convenience. The area is convenient because it is close to shopping (Giant, Weis, Aldi, Walmart etc) and other restaurants. One of the biggest plus points is the gym in the newer building. It has ...
    cycling classes available to stream and "ScullyFit" which allows you to virtually run through other cities!! The team in the leasing office is very courteous, helpful, and quick to respond to questions via email. Also, it's impressive that they remember residents by name.
