Zero stars. Worst management team. No communication. Not worth the price. Just want to scam you. Worst experience. Would not recommend to anyone.

The View Apartments are very modern, spacious and offer a number of amenities. Staff is quite friendly, helpful and responsive. The location of the apartments offers an easy commute to Center City and the neighborhood have a number of restaurants and cultural offerings.

Very nice living space. Always clean and decorated well. Amenities always clean and looking good too. The only issues I have had are that the circuits are not strong can’t handle two things at once and have to go to the breaker box often. The air also has issues time to time with freezing/breaking, but maintenance is always on it the next day.

The staff is great, the common areas are always clean, and the move-in process was very easy. Apartments are private, once you’re inside you don’t hear surrounding neighbors at all.
