STAY AWAY

There was a large scale flood in this building 2 months ago from a fire. Renovations to solve all of the water damage has been ongoing for that long, cutting corners any way possible. Management (Ken), is the absolute worst, is barely on site whileā€¦Ā See More >

    I have lived here for 4 years and always, until lately, found it to be great value. It is cheaper then the surrounding apartments but lately there has been a dramatic change in the building. There is no more management on site. The front deskā€¦Ā See More >

          To keep things brief Pros: - Sufficient space and kind of clean. - Side walls are concrete to reduce noise between apartments. - Gym is alright, pool feels dirty Cons: - Management is disgusting - Window leaks air and no service available to remedy that - AC leaks a disgusting brownā€¦Ā See More >

                  I am living now for a year at 1 Franklin Town and the building is fine but does not look anything close to the website. When I moved in the apartment, it was a pretty good value: - Pretty large apartment but very old appliances - Buildingā€¦Ā See More >

                    This is a great place to live. One of the best in the city, I'd say. But I'm moving out at the end of my lease, and I don't suggest anyone move in. Pros: Incredibly safe. The walk from Center City isā€¦Ā See More >

                      I have lived at OFT for just under a year now and sadly will be moving out when the lease ends. I loved living here, but the price is just too high for me now. Pros: - Noise was never a problem. You can only hear neighborsā€¦Ā See More >

                        not worth the money

                        While they used to be cheaper than other places their prices are sky high now and it's not worth it. For the amount you'll pay here, you could get a much better place. Maintenance are TERRIBLE. They never admit that anything is actually ruined, andā€¦Ā See More >
