Great Place that I made Home
July 29, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
I moved here right out of college in 2019 and just recently left 7years later due to a life event. From the very beginning, my experience was great. Stephanie, the property manager was very friendly, transparent and welcoming. I came from working in a leasing office for 3 years, so I knew the ins and outs of renting, and I felt this property was safe, affordable and in a good location. The building mainly houses retired folks, and students from the surrounding university. The front desk staff, ...
management and older residents were always so kind and made the place feel like home. As a single female living in a new city, it was great having people who kept an eye on you. In my 7 years living here, I always felt safe, informed about any safety issues, and when I did have maintenance issues arise (which wasn't very often for 7 years) they were quick to fix it. The location is within walking distance to 2 train line stops which made it very easy to get into center city and back. The building was also within walking distance to Wissahickon park, so I frequently went running and hiking. I loved how I spent my days working in center city and then could come home to a calmer neighborhood near nature. Local neighbors would say " good morning" as you walked the neighborhood, and over the years the area has gotten better with the addition of coffee shops and a local grocery store. I had a car, and it was so nice to have affordable parking in a secured garage. Everything I needed was within a 10-20 min drive. I personally felt if you respected the rules, and people in this place, they respected you back. They are a little old fashioned, e.g. posting news updates via paper taped to common areas, but I kind of liked it that way. There is onsite laundry that you pay for via a laundry card, and there is onsite trash pickup. Again, they are clear and reasonable with the rules, you just need to follow them as they are. If I didn't have a life event, I would probably have continued to live there.
