Apartment hunting is not fun especially if you have a pet!!!…read moreI found Whispering Glen and called the number on their sign. I have been here for 2 years in August 2023. Not only is Whispering Glen pet friendly but the owners are exceptional!!! They: *Take care of issues promptly *Well known for their kindness and understanding of inevitable obstacles that happen to all of us and will help in anyway they can. *answer questions or concerns promptly. Even if it is not an emergency. I have never been made to feel like a bother when I've called Kristy ever. I highly recommend Whispering Glens one bedroom apartments to anyone!!! Sincerely Vicki DeJohn

Loved that the owner showed up on time to show us the rental. The area is very pretty, clean, and…read morequiet. The apartment was just right for was I was looking for. Even though it's a one bedroom it's large enough for my daughter and I to share. The apartment itself was extremely clean, open concept design. Appliances are included, that means a dishwasher too. I'm on the top floor and my daughter can be loud at times. The neighbor below is never complains about us being too loud and we never complain about his radio being too loud. Let me put it this way. There must be plenty of insulation or soundproofing between floors because you won't disturb your neighbor. This is a pet friendly establishment. If you don't like animals I don't recommend you live here. However, if you are an animal lover this is the place for you. The apartments do no smell of animals though. You must take care of your pets. The neighbors are amazing. The landlord is fantastic. I came from out of town and I am so blessed that I found Whispering Glenn as a place to call my home. If you want a place to call your home this is the place for you.

I have lived here for almost 2 years. Compared to many of the apartment complexes closer to IUP's…read morecampus, these are quiet, clean apartments. There is plenty of parking, so that is not an issue at all. The apartments themselves are a bit outdated, depending on which one you get. Mine is kind of 1980'sish and they did this weird plaster swirly thing on all the walls and ceilings so I can't hang pictures. Some apartments have bigger kitchens than others. I unfortunately have one with a galley kitchen with not enough space to do epic cooking. With my microwave, I only have a foot and a half of counter space left to cook. I have ample closet space which is nice. I have a coat closet in the front room and a large, roomy walk in closet in the bedroom. The bathrooms are kind of small, but okay. I wish my bathtub itself was bigger because it barely sits me when I sit down in it, and I like relaxing baths and I can't really do that in the bathtub in this apartment. If you are an IUP student, it is too far away to walk to campus unless the weather is nice (though no sidewalks out here) and since it is in White Township, you can get a free commuter pass. I like how it is family owned and Sue has always been nice and helpful. They recently redid a lot of the landscaping and it is really pretty. I have an apartment with a courtyard view and the new rock garden with hedges is nice to see, though I was sad to see the older trees go. The mail system is good, though I do sometimes worry when my packages are left in front of my door, but it seems like a safe community and no one has stolen anything of mine yet, so that is good so far! The laundry machines are fairly old, and sometimes break down often. Certain days and evenings such as Sunday afternoon and evening and Friday afternoons the laundry room is crowded. Sometimes in the winter they don't plow the snow early or often enough, so the few near accidents I had his winter were trying to drive out of the apartment complex! I wish the bus services had better hours for coming to the complex, as I often had classes at IUP at night and the buses stopped running. Other things people may want to know: -No pets are allowed -The apartments have electric baseboard heating -Generally you can hear your neighbors through thin walls in the bathrooms -They pay for water, but you pay for the electric bill, cable tv, and phones -Some of the lighting fixtures like I have in my apartment don't seem to take flourescent light bulbs and now it's hard to find incandescent to replace them. -If you need repairs you can call them during their office hours, but if it's an emergency, you can call another number 24/7.

As other reviews have stated, the management team is shady when it comes time to move out. My lease…read moreended on September 2nd, and I gave notice that I wouldn't be re-signing on June 29th. I paid for my full last month but ended up moving into my new place in the middle of the month. My new place was 90 minutes away in Pittsburgh, so I had turned the keys in early. I thought I was being courteous, they got paid for the full month and they got their room back early after all! Well, apparently they took this to mean I was "breaking my lease" even though my entire term was paid for, and because I "left early" I had given insufficient notice. This meant that I got charged $212.22 for said insufficient notice (I got charged for showing courtesy??). On top of this, the apartments aren't very nice and aren't in a very good area. You also have to pay $6 to get a small load of laundry done and need to get those dumb laundry cards that are practically guaranteed to have money on them still when you leave. If you're a pet owner there are also minimal accommodations, with there being no pet waste disposal areas. I overall loathed my time at the place, and was somehow further frustrated while leaving! I would definitely consider any other option first. The only reason I signed with them in the first place was because they offered a 3-month lease and I needed a place short-term.

Don't listen to good reviews posted here or other review sites because they bribe students to give…read moregood reviews. They offer you gift cards if you give them good reviews. My boyfriend signed with them and there was problem after problem. My boyfriend was towed because his permit sign fell from his mirror. He lived there and Melissa, the manager did nothing to help him. He was forced to pay over $100 to be towed out of where he lived. Another issue was the deposit. I cleaned his room spotless at the end of his lease. I went as far as to wash the walls and baseboards. Out of his $300 or $500 deposit he got $35 back. They made up reasons as to why it was not clean enough and why it needed to be professionally cleaned. B&L is horrible to work with, starting with the manager Melissa. Do not sign with them. I would recommend anyone over B&L *I found this picture on one of the Facebook reviews, as proof of their bribery*

You will not get your security deposit back regardless of how much you clean and keep up your place. I previously have never had any issues with receiving my entire security deposit back, but she charged us additional fees on top of not receiving out deposit back. The place was scrubbed clean and not one thing was damaged or broken. If she was working with anyone but college students, she would not get away with her behavior towards her tenants. It was not a surprise to find out she was previously arrested for "theft by deception/false impression."

Just with any college living situation, you shouldn't expect the most insanely awesome living space…read morebut I can say that my apartment feels "home-y" and I have more than enough space. I can only speak for Carriage House and keep in mind that I have a two-bedroom apartment for one person. Pros - Apartments seem to have just been remodeled and maintenance shows up in a timely manner when there's an issue that needs taken care of. Friendly, understanding workers in the office, try to help as much as they possibly can as long as you communicate well with them. Furnished - Although I decided to bring my own bed, but the spare bed that was there was clean and not falling apart - just a normal bed that most college apartments that come furnished would have. The furniture they used did make the apartment easy to decorate and I can say even though it's a "college apartment." Price - let's be serious, pretty cheap to live here and everything's included except internet (and extra cable channels if you're a bravo or viceland junkie like me ha.) Space - Tons of space in the apartment and each room has a big closet. Also, if your selfie game is strong, there are huge mirrors in both bedrooms and a huge mirror in the bathroom area as well. Secure - security has been amp'ed up this semester, as they are trying to make their residents feel more comfortable and safe living there after incidents have occurred. Convenience - close to campus (about a ten min walk, uphill both ways, through the snow ha), but bus stops are close incase you don't want to make the walk. Cons - Doesn't seem as "clean" in the hallways at all times (sometimes other residents who have no respect will leave their garbage in the hallways because their parents didn't drill cleanliness into their heads well enough) and yes, it does smell like weed when you walk through the halls sometimes (it's college, lets be serious.) Noise - the walls are not the thickest and the door way has a slight crack in it, so that makes noise in-between apartments a little loud sometimes, but security will handle it if need be. Access to one door only - you're only able to access your apartment through one door instead of the outside door closest to your apartment - I was told that this may change because they are moving towards a keycard entry system. Some of your neighbors are more disrespectful than others, but this has nothing to do with the apartments. Office hours - they don't have office hours on Saturdays or Sundays, so don't expect to pick your packages up on those days or get a parking pass... Parking - they charge per semester and if you have a guest over that drives they will need a parking pass or get towed -- kind of a little ridiculous Overall, not a horrible place to live...and they do try and do little things for their residents as well, like randomly having pizza in the office and other things along those lines.

I lived in copper beech townhomes, Indiana,PA, for a year. If it wasn't for the way the lease…read moreoffice works, I would probably give copperbeech townhomes a little bit more rating. The people who work in the lease office, including their manager, are way so rude and very very disorganized. I don't know what they do sitting in their office chairs all day. They always give incorrect information and they leave the tenants with confused issues regarding payment. One day they tell you to pay more and the next day they say you overpaid. Bottom line, an extremely disorganized lease office with poor management.

We moved in to complete filth, an apartment that was supposed to be fully furnished, had nothing but broken, beat up furniture. We've had 2 different occasions where pipes have busted and caused leakage through our ceilings ruining personal items. 1 occasion they had no option but to fix it, never returning to paint the new drywall, the other occasion they turned the water in the building off and never came back to our apartment. The refrigerator was leaking freon and after arguing, yelling and crying for 3 hours we finally got a new one. All in all, these people treat their rents like we're oblivious college students. They should be ashamed of themselves considering their prices, too.

Our experience with Putt Real Estate was a disaster from start to finish. We Wally Putt admitted…read moreto not answering phone calls from our home inspector for our new home for almost two weeks which caused a massive delay. We then found out 3 days before closing we needed a roof installed on our home. We already had a contract on our home we were selling and our closing date for the new one was pushed back SIX WEEKS. Had it not been for the amazing previous home owner we were buying from allowing us to stay in the home during the roofing project we would have been scrambling to find housing and were essentially homeless on paper for that time frame. We've talked to several people who have had similar instances with Wally and it all seems to come back to him not wanting to split commission so he will not ask anyone to fill in. He went out of the state and didn't tell anyone when he knew we had paperwork needing to be signed. He left us sitting in limbo when negotiating offers. When questioned about it he becomes combative and outright rude to homebuyers and their real estate representatives. I highly recommend steering clear of anything having to do with Wally Putt himself. The other agents at the office are perfectly respectful and this shouldn't reflect poorly on them.

I am the new property owner of the home that Jamee's son Owen rented. I didnt really have any…read moreintention of ever writing a review or otherwise having this ever aired in public but Jamee's review was brought to my attention so I figured I would say something. On the day of my closing of my house I was asked by the sellers realtor from Oak Grove if I would be keeping any of the security deposit of the two tenants. I expressed that I was giving it all back to which multiple times the sellers agent suggested I keep a large portion. I am not a landlord just someone buying his first home I did not want any drama. I told her this and she proceeded to make a comment along the lines of "You should keep at least half it teaches them a lesson they are young and need to be taught character or how the world works". That isnt an exact quote but it contains the essence of what she said. I was naturally fairly offput by this and I mentioned it to my tenants and ensured them I would be giving back their full deposit. I want to make sure anyone who reads this understands that what she was suggesting while not very appropriate in my opinion was in no way shape or form illegal. I read through the tenant contract and the amount of stipulations in it that would result in withholding deposits were a lot. If I chose to I could have legally kept every cent of the deposit based on the contract. I dont think some of those conditions are fair but nobody forced anyone to sign it. Now that its come to this point I will explain the two star review based on my experience. My home was set to close at the end of March it was an FHA loan. The appraiser determined that there were about 12 areas that had chipped paint that needed redone to pass FHA. The sellers agent asked for a 3 week extension in order to get it done then proceeded to wait around 2 weeks to even start the work. Sort of understandable due to rainy weather although majority was indoor painting. She proceeded to contact my bank and appraiser without even letting us know when the job wasnt completed wasting everyones time. Because of this it barely was ready for the new closing day. Outside of personality I would at least expect a realtor to be competent enough to check the work done before jumping the gun bypassing the buyer and wasting the banks time. Im a first time homebuyer so maybe this is standard for the industry but all of this left a bad taste in my mouth. I probably wouldnt even look at a house represented by them again not to mention using them as an agent.

I had a fairly good experience renting from Oak Grove for most of my stay. I was in an apartment…read moremanaged by them, but owned by someone else, for about three years. The woman who owned the apartment was very good about maintenance. The best part of the arrangement was that repairs were always prompt and well done. The reason for my low rating is that they charged $300 for cleaning the apartment and an additional $120 for carpet cleaning when I moved out, meaning they kept all of my security deposit. However, I had already cleaned the apartment METICULOUSLY, taking a very long time to make sure it was perfect. I cleaned every single drawer, corner, and cranny from top to bottom. I scrubbed the tub, the toilet, the floors, the stove, the oven, the fridge. I put a lot of time into it and was proud of it. Besides that, I had always already kept it clean during my entire stay. That apartment did not need to be cleaned AT ALL, let alone $300 worth of cleaning. I might as well have left it a pigsty. It made me feel very depressed that I had worked so hard on it. Besides the loss of money, I felt personally insulted and offended. For that reason, I would never rent from them again.
