Pennsylvania Place

The epitome of don’t judge a book by its cover. Not the best looking apartment complex but you will love it once you move in if you’re looking to live near campus, have spacious living areas/bedrooms, and to be a walk away from downtown. It’s also really close to several shopping centers and close to F street park.

Cons: You can hear some of the noise from upstairs depending on your upstairs neighbors, but not debilitating. The street and train noise is there but you get to used it over time.... Amenities are basic.

Pros: Really friendly staff and work orders are very quick to be fulfilled and they offer free WiFi and some furnishings in the bedroom, such as the drawers and desk. The interior layout of the apartment itself is arrayed quite nicely so that it feels spacious.

Why we gave it 4 stars instead of 3: compared to other apartments that we have lived in (which had more amenities ) this apartment has offered a really nice space to live in for the past 3+ years due to its large square footage/layout at a good price and friendly staff :) Read More

This apartment has wood floors and is very neighbor friendly. It is great with everything built in including desks and drawers and shelves in the two rooms. The only thing I don't like is that it is close to the train tracks. Also I have to keep bugging management in order to get things done.

This is a great place to live if you want a little bit of everything! The apartments themselves are pretty nice; not luxurious or anything (not that that'd be helpful to us UCD students) but as the title says, you get definitely get a bang for your buck. Hardwood floors, tile kitchen floor, faux marble countertop. No carpet anywhere, which makes cleaning so much easier. My favorite thing about these apartments is that the bedrooms come with built in furniture! Space and money saver. Comes with... built in desk, drawer, vanity/dresser. They are also conveniently located. Has TWO bus stops right in front of them - E and L line. It is also close enough to downtown (walking distance) to provide you with all that DT has to offer but also far enough so that the noise and bustle of DT doesn't bother you. The only reasons it didn't get 5 stars are these: 1. Not the fastest on maintenance reports/repairs 2. Next to railroad tracks (although honestly, you don't even hear them anymore after a few days of living there) and 3. Wish it was a little bigger. These reasons aren't much of a deal breaker for me but it could to be others. Overall, highly recommend the place!! Read More
