Resident 2005 - 2007

3/5/2007

I thought Holly House was a pretty decent apartment building with cheap rent for the Havertown area. I found out different. I have lived here two years, too long. NEGATIVES: bad DRAFTS from WINDOWS, windows need to be replaced badly. NOT so STURDY BALCONY. Forget about SNOW PLOWING of parking lot or SHOVELING of walkways, NEVER HAPPENS. WALLS and FLOORS are paper THIN. When someone below me dropped something heavy, it made the wall in the living room shake! Always having a problem with what I was told is "WATER BUGS," they look like ROACHES and have found throughout apartment. Had a huge NAT PROBLEM. PARKING is absolutely TERRIBLE!!!! It is off-street parking, however, there never seems to be a space available...and God forbid if you park next door in the law office parking lot...you will be told by the law office and they will tow. TO TOP IT OFF- Had problem with HEAT GOING OFF 3 TIMES this WINTER SEASON so far. Went WITHOUT HEAT for a whole WEEKEND when it was 20 degrees and below b/c there was NO MAITAINENCE people or answering service over the WEEKEND. To get anyone out for a maitainence call takes about 4 calls anyway. Also, my apartment did NOT come with a SMOKE DETECTOR, I had to put my own up. Decided to do that one myself since the fire in Eagle Towers, where the 5 year old boy was killed...which is owned by same rental agent, ARO Properties, that owns Holly House. What else...oh yes, the ELEVATOR is CONSTANTLY BREAKING DOWN. The BATH TUB in my apartment is starting to COME APART and SINK in the floor. That is only half of it. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this property to anyone. I am currently looking for another apartment to live in that is safer and doesn't have half as many problems. I know I will have to pay more and am more than willing to do so. The only positive about Holly House is that it is cheap for the Havertown area. $645-700 for a one bedroom. BUT...just know you are getting what you pay for. I personally will never rent through ARO Properties again!!
