The Roe at Manayunk Apartments and Townhomes

Welcome to The Roe! The extraordinary interior finishes and features are only part of what makes this community so exceptional. The Roe includes buildings that are an adaptive reuse of historic structures dating back to before the Civil War. Each has... been meticulously restored on the exterior to reflect its original architectural character while being reimagined inside for modern living. The Roe is also a green, sustainable community. Solar panels power the common and exterior lighting, and every apartment features high-performance, energy-efficient windows imported from Europe. Most homes have soaring 10- to 12-foot ceilings, and the state-of-the-art heating and air conditioning systems provide maximum comfort at remarkably low operating costs. Visitors who appreciate fine craftsmanship and quality materials consistently praise the property as a masterpiece. Residents who have lived here for nearly a year often tell our staff about newly discovered features—proof that the attention to detail runs deep. Our construction team often says that what you don’t see is just as special as what you do. As you settle in, you’ll find that our staff is every bit as remarkable as the buildings themselves. The Roe is supported by a team of highly trained professionals, many of whom were part of the original construction team. Their skill, pride, and dedication are evident in everything they do. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and to let other families know about The Roe and what makes it such a special place to call home. Read More

Thank you for choosing The Roe at Manayunk as your new home—and for taking the time to share your experience in a review. The Roe is truly unique in every way. Just this past week, we toured the property with four real estate professionals who... regularly visit newly constructed multifamily communities. To a person, they were absolutely awe-struck. Each praised the construction quality and stunning finishes. One remarked, “I would love to live here,” while another shared, “I was speechless seeing the completed property for the first time. I toured it with you almost exactly a year ago when much of the former school building was still under renovation—but even after that, this is beyond anything I could have imagined.” Our entire team takes great pride in being part of this extraordinary development. The craftsmanship and materials are second to none. From engineers and architects to construction managers, everyone involved understood that we had a rare opportunity to create a community by which all others could be measured—and we believe we accomplished that. Today, our management team continues that legacy with warmth, professionalism, and care. Several team members were even part of the original construction crew, giving them a deep connection to the property. As time goes on, you’ll likely have the chance to meet many of them, and I’m confident you’ll find they share Aleyna’s enthusiasm, kindness, and dedication. We also hope you’ll join us for our upcoming concert and wine tasting event. The artist is truly talented, and the featured wine expert comes from a wonderful local Manayunk business. Read More

Thank you so much for your positive review! We’re thrilled to hear you’re enjoying your experience at The Roe at Manayunk. Our entire team works hard to provide exceptional customer experience from the very first interaction to the last day of... residence. One thing that sets us apart is the quality of our support staff. Unlike the typical “handy men” found in most apartment communities, our team consists of professionally trained carpenters, plumbers, electricians, and HVAC mechanics—led by a management team with decades of experience. All of the current buildings at The Roe are beautifully restored historic structures that have been reimagined as modern, high-tech homes. With the help of talented engineers and architects, we created floor plans and common spaces designed for how people truly live, work, and relax. Every detail—from high-quality materials to the craftsmanship of extraordinary tradespeople—was chosen with care. The Roe was born from passion and a drive for perfection. Our goal has always been to set a new standard in multi-family living, and we’re proud of the community we’ve built in such a unique location. If you value green, sustainable development, energy efficiency, luxury finishes, pet-friendly living, fitness, and a responsive, caring management team, The Roe at Manayunk is the place to call home.

Thank you for taking the time—especially at the start of a holiday weekend—to share your thoughts about The ROE. I couldn’t agree more with you about the location. It’s truly a one-of-a-kind community in Philadelphia—a self-contained campus with... three parks, interconnected pathways, and a setting that feels both peaceful and vibrant. Beyond the grounds, The ROE is just blocks from Main Street, scenic bike and walking trails (including the newly restored Manayunk Canal), the Manayunk train station, and offers quick access to I-76 and other major routes. Just two weeks ago, I brought my family to see what I—and so many others—have been working on for the past few years. After touring the community, we walked to Main Street for the Arts Festival and had lunch at Winnie’s. It was such a wonderful experience, and I couldn’t help but reflect on how convenient and connected this community is to everything I enjoy. Our construction team takes great pride in building a place that’s not just unique in its design but also enhanced by its exceptional location. I hope you continue to enjoy your new home and all that The ROE and Manayunk have to offer. Read More

Thank you for the kind words. With the completion of The ROE’s amenities, our management team has had the opportunity to welcome several industry leaders for tours of the buildings, grounds, and common areas. Most recently, the Eastern U.S.... representatives of two national brands took independent visits—and couldn’t contain their excitement. They were genuinely thrilled that their brands are associated with a development as significant as The ROE. On a more personal note, each member of our team has proudly brought their own families through the property to show them the role they played in its construction. That alone speaks volumes about the pride we have in this community. It’s a meaningful tribute when a craftsman feels so connected to their work that they bring loved ones to see it—especially on a day off. Just this past week, I gave my wife a personal tour. We wrapped it up with a walk to the Manayunk Arts Festival and lunch at Winnie’s—one of the many local gems. The ROE’s location offers the best of all worlds: steps from trails, a short train ride to the city, and a vibrant local scene perfect for an evening out or a peaceful stroll. The ROE is truly special to everyone who had a hand in its transformation. And now, the families who call it home make it even more so. We’re grateful you’ve chosen The ROE at Manayunk as your new home. Read More
