The Station at Manayunk

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.
