I've lived here for 7 years, so here's my experience.
In my experience, Irene has repeatedly contradicted herself in writing. Neighbors compare emails because we've caught inconsistencies more than once. She comes across as an attack dog for the faceless owners instead of an advocate for residents.
**Cons:** Rent goes up every year, sometimes by as much as $75. The apartments are tiny (700 sq. ft. for a 2-bedroom), walls are thin enough to hear your neighbors' conversations, the birds will wake
...you through closed windows around 4 a.m., and neighbor turnover is high.
Heating is expensive. If a neighbor moves out during winter, everyone else in the building shares the cost of heating the vacant unit. The buildings also leak heat, so expect high gas bills.
The biggest problem is the laundry. There are no in-unit machines, and the shared basement Maytags are old, break down constantly, and cost $2.25 to wash and $2.25 to dry. At those prices, management should provide machines that actually work. You also have to haul laundry up and down stairs and outside to reach them.
As of 7/23/26, management announced they're removing the laundry machines without replacements ready. Neighbors immediately started texting and calling because we're all scrambling to figure out where to wash our families' clothes. They've mismanaged the laundry for years, and this is the worst it's been.
Deliveries are a headache if your building letter is missing. Good luck.
Some staircases are missing support posts, there's a semi-hidden sinkhole near Building G, and management has never seemed proactive about fixing these safety issues.
**Pros:** The maintenance staff are friendly, and Richard has always been especially helpful. Pets are allowed with approval, and they were easy to work with regarding my ADA service animal.
The grounds are the biggest reason I've stayed. They're great for walking my dog, Dumpling, and being able to take low-impact walks without leaving the property has genuinely helped my disability.
The neighbors who stay are another bright spot. People really do look out for each other.
Being in the Abington School District is a major plus, especially for families with children who have learning disabilities. There's also a GIANT within walking distance.
**Mixed:** There's a feral cat colony and the cats aren't tested. Very cute though. Bird population is also embarrassing.
