These are upscale apartments in Castle Shannon borough. They look exactly like Christopher Wren…read moreapartments in Wexford. However, there is one big difference: rent. A two bedroom, 2 bath in Christopher Wren is $1200/month. Here, its $1590 (+ gas, electric, water & sewage, which they estimate at about $250).
Both apartments have the exact same amenities: new refrigerator, dishwasher, stove, garbage disposal, and (in-unit) washer & dryer. Here, the washer and dryer are one unit, the dryer being above the washer. I used to sell major appliances for Sears. These rarely sold, and frequently were returned, because they just didn't clean/dry well, and the (top loader) washer door barely opened because of the dryer. The dryer was too high for short/petite people, and you couldn't see inside well to be sure no laundry was left behind. Christopher Wren has big, energy efficient, front-load washers & dryers in a bigger laundry room with more storage. Additionally, Christopher Wren's bathrooms both have full tubs. Here, one bathroom has a stall shower, which you have to walk through to reach the walk in closet. Not so at Christopher Wren.
I called and set an appointment. I arrived early, walking around to find the rental office. I called (Cara), only to find out they have another apartment building located in Baldwin with the same name. When I booked the appointment, she didn't ask me which location I wanted. She apologized, borrowed her sister's car and drive right over to meet me.
The down side is they are across the street from St. Ann's R C. school, which, when they hold their week-long annual carnival, you'll get lots if noise and traffic. The other negative is the view. One side overlooks St. Ann's cemetery. On the plus side, at least you'll have quiet "neighbors"...
