1500 Locust Apartments: Great Apartment (Recommending!)

2008-05-13T12:28:49-06:00

From -Anonymous-: My husband and I stayed in a one-bedroom for a year. When we moved in, the carpets were new, and the walls were freshly painted.

1500 Locust Apartments: great apt.,FAST response, only minor issues (Recommending!)

2007-04-13T07:46:07-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Despite the fact that management DOES nickel-and-dime you (they kept the $500 security deposit to replace the carpeting that was damaged because of a problem with THEIR washer-dryer), the security deposit is really quite low, and although the people in the main office are not the friendliest in town, all ...

2006-07-25T21:51:56-06:00

From -Anonymous-: So many negative reviews due to the elevator problems...I don't think this building is getting a fair shake. I easily thought this was the best place to live in Philly and moved only because I relocated to the West Coast.

2006-06-15T17:03:03-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Take some time and look around before committing to living here. The management is poor, and they are completely unresponsive to the tenants.

2006-03-13T23:40:29-06:00
