Towne House Apartments

The air quality is awful. Cigarette smoke and marijuana gets in my apartment. They taped over vents to block it with cheap tape. Glass in the landscaping, tattered,dirty flags. The management smokes in front of people and barks at you when you ask for something. The windows don't have grates on them so you could just fall out, even on the 19th floor.

-Resided at Townhouse Apartments in Harrisburg, PA from late July 2019 until late September 2022.
-Paid all of my rent and obligations as per my lease on time without incident, even during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
-Maintenance does not respect remote workers, they barge right in whenever they want. I’ve asked many of times to please schedule in advance so I can properly prepare. They would sometimes “schedule” with me only to not show up until 2 weeks later randomly without notice.
-I was in… the shower and heard noises in my apartment, I jumped out of the shower quickly and was nude only to find a maintenance worker changing a smoke detector, I was horrified!
-Living Room AC leaked GALLONS of water onto the carpeted floor, they continued providing old used AC units covered in black mold as a replacement that also leaked water! I had enough and contacted codes, the issue was that they were not checking to see if the units were leveled!!!
-I’ve found many roaches in my unit, so disgusting.
-My unit was full of black mold in the kitchen and bathrooms (Kitchen cabinets, bathroom ceilings).
-The bathroom tub faucet was repaired for leaking at least 8 plus times during my time there.
-The Property Management Team (Terry and Joy) make things so easy when you first move in, but I assure you that honeymoon phase lifts quickly, then they just ignore any of your concerns unless you pester them enough.
-My particular unit had a capped electric charge of $50 per month in the lease, they installed a meter without any notice or agreement, and began to charge me! We made a deal that mine would stay the same until I moved out, this was in an email.
-When I had moved out, I took pictures as everything was as immaculate as it could be for an old building. I never heard anything about my deposit, so I contacted them via email and they stated in an email that a check was being cut from their NY office, and then I never heard anything. I followed-up several times to learn that they decided to keep my security deposit over the electric charges even though I paid the $50 per month as agreed.
-There is many more situations that frustrated me such as the building not having hot water, pipes breaking in the building yielding no water at all, issues with the elevators not working, and so many more things.
-Living here truly isn’t worth it, you get what you pay for, and for that I would advise you pay more and find somewhere else to live, you’ll thank yourself later, I promise! Read More

WARNING DO NOT LIVE HERE! I would only suggest moving here if you love horrible smells, gross living accommodations, and not getting your security deposit back. When you go to visit they will only show you nice places that are not finished yet so you don't really have an idea of where you will be living. When you move in, you will be disappointed. To start, there are bugs and smells that just don't go away, you need to use air fresheners or just get used to it. The whole place is extremely… outdated and it feels like you are back in the 70's. The laundry room was just redone this last year, but don't let that fool you, it is still a gross mess. They are constantly towing people out of the parking lot too. I counted on one Friday night seven cars being towed out. On my first week living there a leak came in the roof and made my bedroom smell horrible and I couldn't sleep in there until it was fixed. Took them almost a week to do that. They love to tell you maintenance will come to fix something for you, but you will be lucky if someone does come after the first time you ask. They also have to enter your apartment to read the electric meters every month so be aware of that too. As far as my security deposit goes, they refuse to return it. There was zero damage, paid my rent on time, and was a perfect tenant. No reason to keep my security deposit and after talking with Terry, the horrible property manager, I am left with no choice but to go to small claims court. The upside to this place is that it is cheap. But that is it. If you don't want to spend a lot of money and are fine with terrible living conditions, then this is the place for you! Read More
