The Square

This building is not luxury at all. I moved in beacause realtor reccomended The Square Apartments. It is super dirty, nobody cleans or maintain common areas. Besides that it is usafe anyone can come in because the Call Box does not work and the main entrace remains open at all times. The aparments are very noisy, you can hear everything from your neighbours next door and steps above.
They could have a great building if management answers the phone, unfortunately this is not the case.

If you want a great location close to shopping and transportation, and don't mind living in a very noisy, messy apartment with absent management, stolen packages and no amenities this place may be for you.

If your idea of living in the center of it all, being accessible to shops, restaurants, and more, with walkability to almost everything, sounds utterly appealing, then The Square DEFINITELY ISN'T FOR YOU. You see, while The Square technically offers all this, it must be balanced against the harsh realities-- high rent, bare bones building management and maintenance (which, by the way, IS NOT LOCATED ONSITE), quickly deteriorating premises from the high turnover of residents and lack of attention… , and last -- but definitely not least-- a living environment that tests the sanity of the most well-adjusted among us. You see, here in Ardmore, Suburban Square ratables rule, and the darling of Ardmore can do no wrong. The sad fact for residents living near this shopping mecca is that Suburban Square dominates our consciousness and unconsciousness 24/7. The adjacent loading docks at Trader Joes and the Ardmore Farmers Market receive deliveries at 9 pm and 5 am and all hours in between, 7 days a week, with tractor trailers running their engines and forklifts rumbling for hours as the goods are unloaded. And then there are the weirdly obsessive Suburban Square groundskeeping efforts, where blowers, vacuums, and power washers rattle your brain CONSTANTLY, with absolutely no regard for the rights of residents to a reasonably peaceful living environment outside of normal business hours. Make no mistake, there is NO PEACEFULNESS HERE. Never is there a day when one can open a window to enjoy a refreshing day without noise pollution. You WILL live as a shut-in. The construction at Trader Joes that has gone on for more than a year throughout the nighttime hours with sawing, hammering and dumpstering, and only wrist-slapping when noise complaints are lodged with the police department. Think the construction is winding down? Think again. It continues on at the new parking garage and planned apartment buildings along Coulter Avenue. Terrific idea, Ardmore. You haven't created enough misery, so you are planning more high-density housing adjacent to your shopping gem. As you consider a new place to call home, do yourself a big favor and stay away --far, far away -- from the insanity known as Suburban Square and The Square apartments. I am moving out after a year of hellish living, never to return to The Square, Suburban Square, or Ardmore. Read More
