The Station at Manayunk Apartments

Signed a 1 year lease as soon as we met Amie. She is the real deal! Always friendly and accommodating. The management style is the best we have experienced in our entire rental history. Open door policy during normal business hours, and both the leasing office and maintenance team are just a phone call away in case of emergency. We love overlooking the canal and towpath trail. This is the perfect complex for dog owners. All of the other residents are quick to conversation and friendly. When it... came time to renew our lease, we had a complicated request for the leasing office. Petrucci Residential and Amie were nothing but helpful. They presented a short term lease option that benefitted everybody. No complaining, no hesitation, just thoughtful accommodation.

Now to address some areas of concern. There are only two. First up was the regional rail and Ivy Ridge Station. Yes, occasionally you have to wait for a train to go by. But no, it does not hinder quality of life. The building is well built and insulated. The conductor sounds the horn every time they pass by, but we face the canal and you don't even notice half the time. The noise is distant and faint. Second area of concern was parking. There are no assigned parking spaces, and there are lots of cars here. However, I have never had an issue finding a parking space. As long as you are patient and flexible, a solution always presents itself.

As long as Amie, Joel, and Alex work here, you can expect to join a very welcoming and rewarding community. The Station is a little oasis in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Roxborough-Manayunk! Read More

Beautiful apartments with terrible maintenance issues.

We first noticed a leak in our second bedroom in 2017. Reached out to maintenance and they “fixed it”. It is now 2021 and we have continued to have leak issues in that bedroom that has led to hundreds of dollars in furniture loss and one replaced carpet. We are constantly told the issue is fixed, only to have to emerge again a few months later. Thankfully, we are moving in July and will never return.

Great experience living here, no problems what so ever and proud to call this my home. I just wish the sink came with a garbage disposal other than this,I love my apartment, clean, modern and spacious! I recommend units that faces the water/woods, so peaceful, less noisy and offers privacy...compared to the front which faces the train tracks/parking lot. Safe and convenient area, in-between Center City and King of Prussia. Garages are large enough to fit your car and to be used for storage at... the same time, I suggest adding one for sure if you do not want to search for a space everyday and night. Residents and Management Team are nice as well, complex is well taken care of, hallways are vacuumed, grass is cut regularly, and complimentary dog waste bags are offered. Read More

I lived here for almost 2.5 years without any issue, but towards the end of my lease (and after a few management changes), I started running into serious problems with maintenance incompetence and front office reliability.

Problem One: This past winter, my hot water heater gave out. When emergencies like this happen, they instruct you to call the emergency maintenance line, which I did. However, it took over 5 days and multiple follow-ups for someone to even acknowledge that they never received... the initial message. The unit was eventually replaced, but I went 5+ days without hot water in the middle of winter.

Problem Two: I discovered (via another tenant accidentally entering my **locked** unit using her key) that my front door's top lock was broken. I reported this to maintenance as a high-priority, security /emergency issue. They did not handle this as such and even waited a few days to come and fix it.

Problem Three: Leading up to my move-out date, I gave a few notices (at least three) regarding my new forwarding address for security deposit refund purposes. It's now been almost a month since my lease ended and still no refund. When I called to follow up, I come to find out that my refund was mailed to an address that is not even remotely close to what I documented with the front office—it isn’t even a previous address of mine or anyone I'm associated with. I was told, “there must have been a mix-up”.

While problems one and two were eventually resolved and a resolution for problem three is in the works, it's all a facade and definitely not worth the money spent to live here. Don't move to the Station at Manayunk—save yourself the headache. Read More

I had a great experience living here. The location is great with easy access to hiking/biking trails and a SEPTA station to get into the city. Management was always helpful and reasonable.
