This property was purchased by a new management company, gutted and completely renovated, and turned around. It is clean and beautifully redone, with several nice touches. (Pre-renovation, the building was known as the Regency Apartments and had a terrible reputation. As of April 2019, the photos on Google Maps Street View still show the old property with poorly maintained grounds.)
When I toured the property in March 2019, construction was still ongoing and half of the building was boarded off. I toured an unoccupied unit in the completed half and signed a lease for an under-construction unit.
The new management team put in a new roof, new elevators, and lights in the parking lots. The apartments have been completely redone and feel brand new - there are new flooring, HVAC units, appliances, storage, etc. The only hint that this building is old is the concrete floor plates, which I prefer anyway (over the flimsy 4x4 wood construction common in many newer apartment buildings where you can hear your neighbors).
The property is located a little too far to be walking around - you'll probably need a car (maybe a bike?), but in return, your kids get access to the amazing Radnor Township School District, specifically Wayne Elementary School, Radnor Middle School, and Radnor High School. It is also right by the Radnor Trail.
So far, the staff have been helpful and prompt in responding to my queries - I suppose it only makes sense to keep tenants happy after having invested so much in the property.
I will update this review should subsequent interactions with the management team turn out to be disappointing. read more
