Callous and unprofessional landlord!

November 21, 2024 - Review from Apartments.com

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.

February 12, 2025

Hi, I'm sorry we didn't meet your expectations as we sincerely try to keep the building and surroundings clean and professional looking. Unfortunately, with all the increased expenses that we are hit with (insurance, utilities and taxes etc.) we have no choice but increase our rental rates. We are priced very fairly compared to our competitors.

Good Experience

June 26, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com

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.
