Croydon Hall Apartments

I lived in Croydon for 10 months while working at UPenn. It was the most accomodating place I could find - they allowed me to do a lease for less than a year without increasing the rent. They allow pets with very little pet rent and the security deposit is very low. I absolutely loved living there! Staff is super nice and helpful, great tenants, spacious and well-maintained apartments, and a surprisinly big and equiped gym. Location is also excellent, there's a bus stop right outside and it's... close to the trolley. Highly recommended! Read More

After searching a furnished apartment we finally found one in the Croydon Hall. ??Management was very helpful from the beginning and showed as possible flats on a tour by WhatsApp. In a very short time (48 hours) we managed to finalize the contract and are happy renter?s at Croydon Hall.

We arrived late on that day after a long flight, but everything was in place thanks to ?m?management's care. With this note I would like to communicate how happy we are. Almost outside the door a bus is... departing every 10-15 minutes to the University. After a ride of 12 minutes I am there, an ideal location. The Employees are very friendly and I am totally satisfied.

I can recommend the apartments at Croydon Hall without hesitation and restriction. Read More

I absolutely love this complex. The building is beautiful and the people are amazing.

The Croydon Hall is a fully renovated apartment building in the heart of West Philly right at the edge of gentrified "University City" and the real West Philadelphia.
The building was move in ready in the summer of 2013 and they just finished all the little things that were left to be done this summer. All appliances are stainless steel, and the apartments are bright, no issues with bugs or rodents like in many other places in Philly. Maintenance is basically on site and therefore has been... responsive in the cases I needed something fixed.
The building is beautiful with a nice lobby and sweet front desk people (most of them are sweet anyway). There is music in the lobby and elevators - fancy :). The building and the surrounding area on the block are secured by cameras. Electric is paid directly to them and for a 3 bedroom we range at about $35 during the summer - not using the built in ACs more than a handful of times during the night that is.

In terms of amenities there is a free gym, bike room, laundry room (each apartment gets a laundry cart that you charge with cash), lounge area with pool table, Foosball table and air hockey, some vending machines, couches and tables a small kitchen and toilets so you can have a get together in the lounge as opposed to having it in your apartment. There is also a meeting/study room you can reserve. And there are $10 self-storage units for rent in the basement.
There are two courtyards: one for the dogs to play in, one for "humans only". Now in the summer it is really nice to have a patch of green and some beach chairs to just hang out.
Thanks to the 24/7 front desk employees you will never again have to worry about a package getting lost. They have a dolly to help you with larger items that you can borrow, light bulbs in case yours die...it is just all around convenient in every aspect. The management really tries to make your life as convenient as possible.

This is a pet friendly, non-smoker building so if you have a problem with running into dogs in the elevator or the lobby or having some dogs bark every now and again, this building is not for you.

All the tenants seem very nice. Some are more chatty and warm than others but overall it is a good crowd. Young professionals and grad students as well as families with small babies. It is a super diverse crowd but that is what makes West Philly in general a great place to live.

In short: great place to live. I love it. Would not want to live anywhere else. Read More
