Heating/AC is controlled by the building and they only switch over once for spring/summer so it was very hot during the unseasonably warm days!! Bring a fan/AC so you're not running to Target in a sweaty panic like me lol. 2. Four regular and two freight elevators but multiple are often broken so plan accordingly and leave a little early in case of long elevator wait times! 3. Not much noise from neighbors but certain areas are louder, ie. I always hear my neighbors' TV from my bathroom. Figured this out when I heard "THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELLS YOU" after a late night shower and got very scared lol.

I need to update this review, unfortunately it now matches the two posters below. I am now in a…read moresmall legal battle to get back part of my security deposit as I was charged $125 to clean a 12x12 carpet that was not damaged or dirty. This is after I was charged a $50 late fee for the last month's rent after I emailed the incompetent property manager to confirm my pro-rated rent as I was informed on the first of the month that they'd found a tenant to take over my lease for the second half of the month. Absolutely appalling after nearly 4 years of residency. The apartment was left spotless and never a late rent payment during my time there except when I had pneumonia last December. There is no 'good faith' at this place. Ironically the woman who is most responsible for giving good customer service and treating you with integrity treats people worse than I treat my goldfish. The leasing women are nice, friendly, and intelligent, but unfortunately it stops there. Even the maintenance people are miserable ever since the new management stepped in, and I get more respect from the $12/hr doormen and desk people than I've ever gotten from management. Totally disgraceful for such a beautiful, well-maintained building with good tenants. You can go elsewhere and get more for less money and be treated with respect. I do not recommend The Touraine until the owners wake up and realize that Dominique is a lawsuit waiting to happen. I'm sure Dominique will try to save face of the once amazing place to live that she has single-handedly made a miserable experience, even post move-out, which is quite a feat. So to your anticipated response I say: https://youtu.be/Gm7y5BjJcwU

It's close to shopping, a short drive to center city and about ten minutes from Forbidden Drive where I fell in love with the trails and nature there. Linda, the property manager, is the best. She made the moving in and moving out process easy and straight-forward and was always helpful whenever there was a minor maintenance issue. The pool, bar, and gym across the street were great and my husband and I used them often. The complex and grounds are well-maintained and clean. It was a wonderful experience living at this complex. Rent is a little high compared to other apartments in the area but I believe it was well worth it for worry-free, convenient living. I highly recommend! A few notes: you will need a snow shovel in the winter to shovel out your car after the parking lot is plowed. Don't wait until there is 2 feet of snow on the ground to purchase one like I did! You will not be able to find one within walking distance and your car will be inaccessible. Also, "emergency maintenance" crew members during off hours (I believe this is run by another company) are not the best. A little rude and rushed. If your maintenance issue can wait until regular business hours, you will get better service. Good luck!

I thought living here would be fun and that i would live in a great community. Within less of a…read moremonth of being here I realized I lived in an unsecured building where anyone could just walk in and steal your packages. There are no cameras or keys to to enter the building. They require a key to open the door to the laundry room but once you're down there you can actually walk through the hallways and go up into other apartment buildings without a needing a key . It's a safety issue . There are no cameras! I am terrified to go down there by myself , not only that .. why are there 2 washers/ dryers for so many different buildings just unsecurely connected ? .. so this is what happened... I've had several packages from carriers amazon, usps, and UPS be delivered only for them not to be there when I got home. As many of you know Amazon takes pictures when they deliver packages and I have pictures of them being at the mailboxes but they are GONE when i get there . I am so frustrated at the lack of security here , i have Lost so much money because of this issue, I've never had something like this happen before . Have fun where you live ? More like Get robbed where you live ALSO THIS PLACE IS INFESTED WITH GNATS!!! I've defogged my apartment 3 times already, it's disgusting. I can Hear every step my upstairs neighbors make, every time they open or close a drawer , every time they talk to one another from across the room. I contacted the leasing office looking for some kind of help and inquiry about actually having a security system here and Linda's response was that all the buildings were unsecured and there was nothing to be done. The amount of money paid to live here and nothing can be done to keep the residents safe .

Robin Apartments has been home to me since 2014. I am only leaving now in 2021, because I am moving…read moreout of state for work. I had an absolutely terrible experience with a large property company when I moved to Philly, so I then asked around who likes their landlord, who's happy where they live? And repeatedly the answer was Robin Apartments. They are family owned and operated. They take a lot of pride in their buildings, making improvements regularly and keeping them nice. They have a great maintenance team, making repair time almost always immediate and done right the first time. I lived here while doing my PhD, the buildings are very quiet, I almost never had any issues with noise. You absolutely cannot beat the pricing or the location. They are located right in the heart of the city, close to Rittenhouse with so many things to see and places to go eat. It is a short walk across the Schuylkill river to Drexel or Penn or CHOP, also an easy bus ride on #21 or #42. (#9, #12, and #17 also have stops nearby, so you really can get anywhere from here). You are not going to find cheaper rent in center city. I lived at 20th and Walnut, in a large studio. The ceilings in my apartment were extra tall which gives you a nice feeling of space, with these very tall windows letting in a lot of light. Our building had the coolest large spiral staircase as well, my friends always remarked on it. The hallways are nicely decorated with custom artwork. If you're looking for a place to rent, definitely talk to the Robins!

Many have said that Mr Robin is the nicest landlord in the city and I believe that to be true.

Now is the beginning of my eighth year at Sherman Mills. Many of my neighbors are long term renters…read moretoo. That says a lot. Here is my positive take on Sherman Mills based on my experience here, and without exaggeration. My apartment at Sherman Mills is a large one-bedroom loft with plenty of windows, and came with state-of-the-art appliances, pristine pine floors, large timber beams, 20 foot ceilings with exposed beams and elements, one and a half baths, a Jacuzzi tub, a washer and dryer, plenty of closet space, an internet connection, and a front balcony overlooking a vibrant dog park and an old red barn where a blacksmith plies his trade. There is plenty of safe parking here. There is a private gym for everyone's use. And also, there are a number of businesses on the fairly large campus - day care, salons, musical training, yoga, personal trainers, event spaces, artist studios, and more. There is a glassworks next door as well as a rock climbing gym, and a cross fit gym a block away. Many of the tenants here are on the younger side. Many are professionals. There are dogs and other critters in abundance. The low-rise buildings here were built before the Civil War as a textile mill, which among other things produced uniforms for the Union Army. Much of its architectural age was painstakingly preserved by Mark Sherman so that there is a unique, aesthetically pleasing and enchanting mixture of the old and the new that you can see everywhere - inside and out. Each apartment is different from the others, and that is so because it was apparently important to Mr. Sherman to keep the integrity of the old spaces as much as possible. All of these buildings had different functions back in their day, and now they all contain different apartments and other rental spaces. The quality of life here is peaceful. It's almost like living in a bubble. Once I'm on the grounds, I'm not bothered by the normal bustle of city living. Yet this bubble is very close to what Philadelphia has to offer to cosmopolitan people. Center City is four miles away - a pleasant, winding four mile drive south along the river (Kelly Drive) right on into Eaton Circle at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The vast green space of Fairmount Park is a couple blocks away just beyond the historic Laurel Hill Cemetery. Manayunk's Main Street begins a mile north. You can walk to the river in 10 minutes, with easy access to both its east and west banks. It's a biker's paradise. Living here has been mostly problem-free for me because the property manager and maintenance are on-the-spot attentive to the usual things that come up in a tenancy - fix a leak, replace a dishwasher, fix a hole in the wall, do some painting. And it seems that there's always some improvement project happening on any given day. My rent is on the premium side, but certainly competitive. Given the one-of-a-kind spacious apartment, the amenities, my neighbors, and the location, to me it is well worth it. While there are certainly other lofts and loft style apartments in the city - Center City and Northern Liberties, for example - Sherman Mills provides something special, an exceptional, aesthetically pleasing habitat. Lastly, Sherman Mills is located in East Falls, one of Philadelphia's oldest neighborhoods. I've seen maps from the early 17th century showing what would later be named Scotts Lane, which is our street address. I bring this up because it is easy to see how the neighborhood developed over time into a sort of fulcrum or hub that provides quick access to all the main arteries flowing in all directions. For example, there is quick and easy access to Ridge Ave., U.S. 1, and I-76. You can see what I mean on Google Maps. As well, the train station here will take you pretty much wherever you want to go. In this review I have not exaggerated one bit.

Surprised this building has no reviews yet?…read more after moving down to philly for a new job, i literally agonized over where to stay. unlike nyc where finding an apartment is next to looking for gold on a muddy mountain slope, philly just had too many dizzying options. but driving thru the gates of the isle, couldnt help agree with a friend who commented that this place felt very different and seemed more like a resort than apartment building! i really liked the layout of my unit, where i had a great view of the Schuylkill river. and despite on paper seeming kinda small, felt much roomier thanks to the huge windows and amazing light in the early afternoon. also, my unit had no shortage of storage. more than enough little cabinets to store nearly everything i owned. the amentities / lounge area was very comfortable, and glad that the gym wasnt an afterthought in some basement. and while i was a little disappointed i was a bit too far from the kelly drive running / bike paths, the trails that were immediately outside the building's door are still quite nice. also, the bridge to main st is pretty baller. cant think of any other building in philly that has something similar. and the deck is fantastic. relaxing with a nice beer with the river rushing below, watching the sun set on a long ass day was worth the amentity fee alone. also, they offered the the least expensive parking of the buildings i toured. some might be concerned about the past flooding in the area. i didnt experience any problems, tho admittedly, i did check the flooding reports and made sure my car was in the upper 100yr flood zone! but above all else, big shout out goes to the leasing and building management team: ashlee, laylaa, laurel, rafael, bruce, gina, kevin, mike, and evan. they were always welcoming and very in tune to my needs as a tenant. no matter my issue, they went above and beyond to help out the situation. seriously, they set a super high bar. with that said, like most new construction buildings, there were alot of growing pains. the walls are not nearly as thick as the pre-war apartments i had in new york. you can hear people's conversations pretty easily. so if you're light sleeper, tread carefully. also, outside ambient noise can be heard again rather easily, like the traffic on i-76 where things can get noisy after certain hours when trucks are careening down the highway, bumping along in the nite. and given i was the first tenant in my unit, i did have a more than a few issues: my dryer not working (even tho management was happy to let me use an empty apartment's dryer while i waited to get a new one), the electric stove vent didnt seem to vent properly. water pressure on the upper floors was kinda lacking, so goodbye massage setting. also, there were at least two building wide brown outs. and every now and then someone had either broken thru the parking gate or it would malfunction and be stuck in the up position. nevermind, the fire alarm would accidently go off without any warning. and do be careful when walking across the bridge during the rain or snow. i've been lucky, but sometimes, parts of it just look dangerously slippery. and the utility billing did have a few hiccups that thankfully, i was able catch. i consider myself a pretty patient dude but after a while, being a guinea pig for a new building does get to be a bit much and it was time to go. but regardless of these problems, and maybe its that hazy tint of cramped nyc apartments of the past, this building was quite nice to live in: an incredible view of either the river or canal, one philly's most gorgeous settings, and a fantastic management team who aptly navigated thru all these problems with us as tenants, were a huge part of an overall nice stay.
