Brandywine Construction Mgmt: Crafts House: Nice apartment...minus the mice. (Recommending!)

2009-11-01T19:34:04-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We moved into a 1 BR apartment in the summer of 2008 in Crafts House (a courtyard level apartment).Overall, this was a decent apartment. New appliances, large bath tub, high ceilings. We had a bi-level apartment, with our bedroom on the bottom floor. The bi-level format helped dampen sound, so ...

2009-03-24T08:40:20-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We've lived at Penn's View for 2 years. It's been absolutely fine.

From -Anonymous-: The people in the office are complete NIGHTMARES with no regard for their tenants.

Brandywine Construction Mgmt: Horrible maintenance staff (Not Recommending)

2008-11-03T08:41:58-06:00

From hatebrandywine08: live at the craft house - you need to call maintenance about 10 times for them to fix anything. when they do fix anything, they do an incredibly crappy job so it breaks again.

From 21strawberry21: I have visited this site enough to know that you have to take people's reviews with a grain of salt...the good...and the bad.

Brandywine Construction Mgmt: Nice apartment, crappy maintenance (Not Recommending)

2008-07-08T05:52:23-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Brandywine understaffs its maintenance office, and must secretly have a policy to ignore you the first 3 times you call. They wear you down so that you just start dealing with the fact that 1/3rd of your windows don't open, for example. It's a shame because they own great historic ...

2008-05-03T15:50:26-06:00

Brandywine Construction Mgmt: 51 N Third (Not Recommending)

2007-05-13T21:21:41-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The reviews don't lie. Brandywine has no concern for your living situation, your health, rodents, wellbeing, etc. As long as your check comes in, they will greet you with a smile.

2006-05-21T19:58:28-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Maintenance is a joke. There are roaches, bad electric wiring, no response when you call with a complaint.
