      • Honest review

        July 16, 2023
        Warning I can hear the person below me playing video games and the person above me snoring every night. There is a truck that parks in the middle of the parking lot making it difficult to get in and out; I have complained to management and they have stated that the truck has special permission to be there. Elevator ceiling often breaks and falls down. Floor is usually filthy. Front door latch is often broken and has been held together with an elastic band. Had to beg management for cameras in ...
        the parking lot area due to multiple car break ins with windows shattered. Although maintenance is fast with repairs, I have returned to my apartment unlocked and with the door slightly ajar after their service. There are bugs… but they do get an exterminator to come.

      • The Alto Checks All the Boxes!

        July 26, 2022
        I just renewed for the second time at The Alto and I am so happy I’ve found such a great apartment in Roxborough. Bright and spacious apartment? CHECK! Parking? CHECK! Washer and dryer in unit? CHECK! Taco shop downstairs? CHECK! I was able to renew very easily at a reasonable rate- which is very comforting in today’s rental market. I am so excited for my next year at the Alto!

      • Awesome location and building in Roxborough

        December 31, 2021
        My boyfriend and I have been loving living at the Alto Apartments. Our unit is perfect and the building has a great taco place on the ground floor which is perfect for those nights when you can’t figure out what to make for dinner. Its walking distance to the train which is really important to me.

      • Nice Apartment Building on Ridge

        December 29, 2021
        We moved in not too long ago and everything has been great so far. The elevator made moving in a breeze, the management team has been responsive and very helpful with our requests, and its a godsend to have designated parking. Check out Alto Apartments if you’re looking to live in Roxborough!

      • Awesome building and great management!

        June 28, 2021
        My friend and I have been living here for a year so far and we LOVE IT! Our two bedroom apartment has a lot of space so we’re not on top of each other all the time plus we each have our own bathroom. Management has been attentive and had a plumber over quickly when we had some issues with our sink. Awesome location too- the best ice cream place in Roxborough is a 5 minute walk away and a delicious new taco place opened up on the bottom floor of the building!

      • Wish I Could Stay- Love it Here!!

        June 17, 2021
        Great apartment, great building, great management! I have been living here since last year and sadly I have to leave Philly for work so I’ll be leaving when my lease is up. If that wasnt the case I would definitely be staying in my apartment. This was my first apartment on my own and it exceeded all my expectations! The apartment is beautiful- the bathroom is sleek and modern and I love finally having a bathtub. The management team was always on top of all of my requests and whenever someone from ...
        maintenance had to come to by to repair or replace something- they always followed all COVID protocols which made me feel safe. Building is quiet, lobby is nicely decorated, and the neighbors are nice :-)

      • Be warned!

        October 31, 2020
        Get the highest floor (4th) if you can afford it, otherwise if your neighbor upstairs happens to have a dog running around 24/7 - trust me, you will not be happy. The apartment management does not and will not step in to help tenants solve this issue! The wall insulation is decent but the flooring is not!
