Pennsylvania Place

2016 review Love PA Place! Great customer service. Awesome pool. :)nn2019 I moved out. I lived there for 9 years and watched it go down hill fast in 2017 onward. The apt units are not luxury, but the laundry, gym, pool, community center, and parking garage where very well maintained until around 2017. They started a project on upper deck parking to redo the lot and went cheap and it cracked and looked terrible. The lower deck closed parking leaked cement like stuff and stained my car. I had to research and use all kinds of products. They started maintenance on garage and then for like a year did nothing. It was a disaster. Then the pool cracked and they kept it open. I was embarrassed to bring friends to swim. They had some issue in basement floor where it smelled like garbage for a year. It appeared that owners just didn’t care. Staff seemed like they cared, but couldn’t do anything. Then about 6 months before I left, harrisburg university students starting moving in and long term renters I knew had their rents go from 970 to $1,500. I talked to 4 different people who had same experience so before my lease was up, I found a different place. My theory is that owners wanted to remove long term tenants so they could put 4 college kids in an apt for $2,000 a pop. A once great reasonably priced place went downhill fast.nI will say the office staff and maintenance were very professional. They dealt with a lot of drama and tried to be positive. April was my go to person who always helped me. The two nicky’s were nice too. Also, the complex was always being cleaned with no litter anywhere including laundry room. Maintenance was extremely responsive and always had a good attitude. Everyone who worked there smiled and said hello. The staff was the best part and worked very hard. I think the owners just didn’t care or want to put money into fixing pool and garage. I hated paying for parking, esp having my car get stained. The rent increase was ridiculous and not worth the place. I had no issues moving out. Got full deposit minus carpet cleaning (apt price cheaper than other places, just use them). Maybe they just went through a rough patch or were getting ready for college students? Maybe it’s better?. I hope so.

Love it. We have not had a bad experience. The building is convenient for everyone in our household. Close to work and travel for all. Would recommend this community to anyone looking to move to a very convenient and friendly home. - From a verified resident on ApartmentRatings

It looks nice inside and outnVisit my son and baby granddaughter sometimes. He sees no problem.

Office management is a joke. Terrible place to live in. Anyone looking can honestly do way better.

I lived in Pennsylvania Place from August 2019 to July 2020. My overall experience was extremly unpleasant.nnFirst, the walls are extremely thin. I was able to hear my neighbors next door and in the hallway constantly. Additionally, the proximity to the railroad tracks ensures that any resident will hear the trains at all hours. Second, the management office was unaccommodating and, at times, extremely rude. The toilet in one of my bathrooms was broken and it took 45 days for it to be fixed, although I had asked for it to be fixed immediately. When I complained I was told, by the building manager, that I had not been severly inconvenienced. Finally, the apartments and appliances are very outdated but the rent is expensive. My refridgerator constantly leaked. Additionally, unpleasant garbage smell on the ground floor the laundry room is another inconvenience tenants endure.nnThere are several apartment complexes within walking distance of PaPlace that are newly renovated and are comparable in price.
