prospective • Visited 2008
I am a prospective tenant and I have visited this rental property as I will be working in Philly. I do not live here. Overall, I thought this complex was good. The apartments look nice from the outside and inside. It is a gated community. Nice amenities. Close to Philly.
Most reviews on this site suggest the complex is safe, except for one that mentioned "robberies in 2003-2004", though I cannot confirm if this information is true. I spoke with the Cherry Hill police department and they did not mention any specific safety issues, so that was encouraging.
Some reviews on this site mention that the motel next door (Howard Johnson's) hosts tenants of low income (welfare tenants). If this concerns you, take a look at the following site: www.familywatchdog.us If you type in the Bishops View address in this web site, it will mention any sexual offenders close to it. I found 5 previous offenders living in the Howard Johnson's next door, which was a pretty high number. You can also look at www.tripadvisor.com for reviews of Howard Johnson's in Cherry Hill, and some of the reviews mention bad things regarding the tenants and customers there. Not saying this is bad, especially since the community is gated. However, I think this is pertinent information for certain individuals (for example, families with kids...).
