    This place seems charming safe and relieable for transportation!

    5/5 Bernice M. on Mar 31, 2024

    These apartments are well kept. any maintenance problems are handled quickly. The common areas are kept clean. They are accessible to public transportation. Parking has always been available for me no matter what Ime I come home. It is a very quiet area. The staff is accessible and friendly, and they always respond to my calls, My only complaint is that they do not do the windows. I would highly recommend these apartments to anyone interested in a nice place to live.

    The Apartment community is great. I have been here for 7 years and never had a problem...Lisa Pinkney from the leasing office and Ron Turner from maintenance are first class employees and great people...i just moved into a new Apartment in building A and they made it a seem less transition. I hope to be here another 7 years God willing...Thank you. Mount Airy Place for being a place you can really call home.

    I got what I pay for and I’m happy with my choice. My apartment might lack luxuries and certain amenities but the location makes up for it. I like the fixtures, the storage space and the high ceilings that help cool down the space. Kichen area is smaller than optimal but i moslty eat out so its not a problem for me. So far I haven’t had any maintenance issues so i can’t rate their efficciency at dealing with management tickets. Although, the asistant property manager seems to be readily available and always replies to my emails in 1-3 hrs. I recommend this apartments for young people withput family who don’t mind guving up some amenities in lieu of a great location at a reasonable price

    I have lived here for a little over 3 weeks and have had no concerns. The leasing staff, specifically Annie, were super helpful and patient with all of my questions! The property managers Ishea & Asia have also been very responsive when I had an inquiry about ordering new set of keys. Maintenance has also been super fast and helpful! Would definitely recommend living with AMC as they are organized and efficient.

    I have lived here for about 7 months now and have really enjoyed this apartment! The location is unmatched, and the apartment is spacious and fits me and my partner perfectly. Being in Center City obviously comes with some cons, like the loud drivers on Walnut Street, but the proximity that we are to so many amazing restaurants, parks, and other public amenities completely outweighs the negatives. The staff are extremely helpful and kind, and the maintenance staff are quick and efficient. There are some aspects of upkeep that could be a bit better. For example, our apartment was not cleaned upon moving in, and the washer and dryer that are shared amongst everyone in the building are not great quality (my clothes always end up still wet after a drying cycle). There have been some other little things, mainly pertaining to cleanliness in the basement and upon moving in, but in all I feel this unit is worth it!
