City - Reading

Located in southeastern Pennsylvania on the Schuylkill River, Reading sits about halfway between Harrisburg and Philadelphia. Nicknamed the Pretzel City for its numerous local pretzel bakeries, Reading is home to an array of independent businesses, many of which line Penn Street in Downtown Reading and Penn Avenue in West Reading.

Among Reading’s many vibrant attractions are GoggleWorks Center for the Arts, Reading Public Museum, Mid-Atlantic Air Museum, the Pagoda, and FirstEnergy Stadium—home of the minor-league Reading Fightin Phils. Opportunities for outdoor adventure abound, with a host of scenic parks and more than 125 miles of biking and hiking trails in Greater Reading.

Not renewing lease here again!

Not only do you have to pay for the laundry, water, sewer, but now they are charging $5 per guest of any age to come to the pool. On top of that $50 for gym key. Before you were able to Bring guest for free and now they are charging for it. I been here for years and was able to bring a guest to use the pool with no problem. Hungry for money! the rent multiplied too much now and half the apartments are not even full upgraded.

Bad Administration

This is a horrible collaboration of administrative personnel. They do no return calls or emails concerning anything. They will also not help you or qork with you if you become layed off or lose hours. They move straight to eviction. And if you do make arrangements to pay them back, it is typically a 3 week period in which they want it paid back by. And require you remain current while paying them back. They do not have an on site call service, you must be patched through from an outside service, and just hope to get a call back in the next 3-5 months. Yes, months.

I do not recommend these apartments

I do not recommend these apartments. They have bad administration, the heat does not work and they are manipulated by themselves. The bathrooms are not conditioned, and the loundry area does not work. In conclusion it is not a place as comfortable as they appear.
