Top of the Hill Apartments are variously described. On the one hand, Top of the Hill is "Land of the Giant Potholes that Never get Fixed."

Driving through Top of the Hill is like driving on the surface of the moon. God help the front end of your car!!! Last winter I thought, "Oh, they (managemet) are just waiting until the warmer weather to fix all the potholes." Boy, was I wrong!! They fixed nothing, absolutely nothing.

The office staff'

Generally friendly and attentive. When you phone in for a maintenance request, personnel see to it on a fairly swift basis. However, actual correction may require multiple calls.

The actual apartment'

Clean and in good repair. However, the apartment itself (not referring to neighboors) makes noises. The pipes make noises. The heating system makes noises. It is the age of the place.

Neighbors'

I am quite fortunate. I have good neighbors. They are respectful and quiet. So, for me, living at Top of the Hill is peaceful. However, Top of the Hill seems to be drawing more and more of an "undesirable element." So, it is possible you could wind up with "nightmare neighbors."

It is just luck of the draw.

Location'

Pretty good. Quite accessible. A good area.

Recommendation'

Tough to highly recommend, but my personal living experience at Top of the Hill has not been bad at all.

If you don't mind paying somewhat more there are some very nice apartments off of Route 202 jut below the Pennsylvania border, and also just across the Pennsylvania border.

Summary'

I am not of a mind to be condemning, as once again, Top of the Hill has been perfectly good for me, but neither would I mount a soapbox and shout words of praise.

Final Advice'

Before committing to a lease, double check your neighbors. Visit your prospective apartment at various times: at night, on the weekends, etc. How quiet is it'

In any apartment, your peace and quiet ultimately comes down to the type of neighbors you have.
