    I have enjoyed living at Walnut Towers at Frick Park for over a year. For the value, it is wonderful. The gym is often empty and the staff and maintenance worker, Bill, are very helpful. It is an older building and there are things that come along with that including some leaks, a smaller kitchen and smaller bathroom but the gorgeous view, parking, location, and quiet apartments with thick walls makes it well worth it.

    The location permits you to enjoy the Waterfront and East End. The events are fun.
