Cons- Outdated materials, rude staff, dirty building. Pros- Good location
7/20/21
Building has a bug problem
The major issues one has to deal with in living here - 1. Roaches. Behind the stove, on the stove, even in the refrigerator. This building has a serious issue with this. I have seen spray cans (Raid) in the trash room which indicates other people have this problem. As someone who doesn't leave messes in the kitchen and clean my kitchen all the time, I can't stand that other people are dirty or the building just doesn't do enough to keep this from impacting so many residents. Maybe there should be more inspections of apartments to make sure the building stays clean. People need to be more responsible and held more accountable. 2. Fire alarms - they go off in the middle of the night, 2 am, 3 am. All because residents burn food etc. Who cooks at that time of the day. And you will have no idea how serious the issue is because despite the building having an intercom announcement system it doesn't get used when needed. You might hear fire trucks pull up to the building and question whether to leave or wait for the alarm to stop. It would be helpful to have more communication from the building. The 24/7 front desk concierge is an amenity we are paying towards and an important one at that. There used to be better protocols. Not sure why they aren't trained better. There should be fines to people who cause the alarm to go off and disrupt the entire building.
Property Manager at The Sterling, Responded To This Review
Hello, thank you for sharing your experience at the Sterling. We appreciate the feedback you have provided. If you are experiencing a pest problem we urge you to request a pest treatment through a service request in your resident portal. Please indicate the extent of the concern so our exterminator can treat accordingly .Our fire system operates as it is intended to, and this does result in alarms going off at times that are not planned. While these are an inconvenience, it is for the safety of all residents that this alarm system is in place. We do have residents that work round the clock and many finish work around midnight or later. These are residents who would cook in the night.Any alarm means to please vacate the building. We would like to address you concerns with you directly. The community team as well as the ICanHelp team are here to assist! We encourage working with your community management team if any further questions arise about the above, but also welcome you to reach out to ICanHelp@AirCommunities.com. – Susan

The best
This apartment is so convenient. It is 10 minute walk from the train station and located in the center of Philadelphia. Restaurants, gyms, shopping centers, theaters, technically almost everything is nearby you don’t need to drive a car unless you want to. It is like living in a less expensive town of New York City. Also the building itself has restaurants and gyms too. The rooftop swimming pool is such a scene. The concierge is so friendly and nice. They also hold small parties you can attend to for nothing, such as a movie night and wine tasting. This is the one!

Apartment is not as advertised
The apartment complex and leasing agent boasts of the luxury and style of the apartments. Having lived here for a year now of a 14 month lease, I can’t wait to move out. The building is renovated on the inside, but the outside and the plumbing inside are old. Bathroom is always clogged or flooded and the building will make quick temporary fixes but not the main issue of old pipes constantly backing up. They put a new washer dryer in the units they show but most the units have old washer dryers that are by no means luxury. For the price they charge for rent it’s below expectations. The utilities are building shared and never fluctuate much regardless of how much water or electric you use. It’s a great location and a nice gym in the roof area. But overall the units are not as luxurious and worth the price they want you to believe.

Never Ending Projects
Aimco is all about doing updates that benefit them, anything they can use for marketing purpose or to somehow make their jobs easier they do. Most recent disorganized project is installing keyless locks on all apartment doors, this intrusive and unwanted project is not even communicated properly to residents. We get so many emails advertising worthless crap like some juice bar or football watching event, but when it comes to important issues that involve someone coming to your apartment (AND CHANGING YOUR LOCK) there is nothing. They expect people to loiter around the lobby and possibly notice something on a changing billboard, really? First the sign posted around November 5th stated that installation would start on floors 26 - 29 on November 11th, and every floor was listed with completion of the entire building by November 20th. Then a sign posted on November 12th stated that floors 27 - 29 would be done on November 13th and floors 24 - 26 would be done on November 14th and remaining floors TBD. THEN on November 13th they post note on the lobby digital board that they will start with floors 27 - 29 on November 14th and all other floors in the coming weeks. What is wrong with these people. They disrupt other people's lives constantly with ridiculous and poorly timed projects nobody wants and there isn't even proper communication about them. Prior to this there was light bulbs being changed in every unit. This isn't going to result in any savings, the utilities are split among all residents. They recently stated all utility bills will be sent electronically vs paper copy - well does that mean they will stop charging the $4.99 fee they charge just to give us the bill - they should. Aimco is definitely all about looks and what is best for them. They don't consult residents about intrusive or bothersome projects. What they need to focus on is keeping the heater working - it goes out all the time (last year on some of the coldest days). Most people would be happy with a building that is clean, quiet, and has elevators and heaters that work. Everything else they do is superficial and for their benefit.

Awesome Way to Experience Philadelphia!!
I was new to Philadelphia when I moved in and am very happy with the Sterlings Apartments. The location is in the heart of Center City and could not be better. No car needed. Walking distance to restaurants, bars, grocery stores, and other basic stores. Train is literally across the street underground. Amenities are well maintained including, rooftop BBQ and pool, office center, and top story gym. Staff is always friendly.

Great place to live
Love living here! Not many complaints minus the heating/cooling system as stated below. Likes- location, the people who work at the front desk/the leasing office (always very responsive, friendly, and remember your name), the amenities/space of the apartment itself, and the fact that the building is dog friendly. Dislikes- the range of people who live in the building. Although this obviously cannot be controlled, the desires of people living in the building vary greatly. There's a huge population of people under 30 who live here, but also a segment of older residents who file many complaints on noise when it is quiet during the "quiet hours". Beyond the heating system and difference in residents, the place is great. Highly recommend for what you're paying vs. what you get in other cities.

Absolutely love it here!
I am a professional in my early 40’s and have lived at Sterling for almost 2 years now. Despite some issues we’ve had in the building, I have absolutely loved living here and will continue to do so. The location is perfect. The entire staff is amazing, attentive, and readily available. The very few service requests I’ve had were taken care of either the same or next day. The amenities are amazing and the building is always kept very clean and I have always felt safe in and around the building. This is a great place to live.

Love living here!
I have lived here at The Sterling Apartment Homes for seven months. I moved here on the advice of a longtime resident after selling my home. From the beginning of my stay here I have been treated extremely well. The staff in the leasing office was helpful and spent time assuring that I find the right apartment for me. The concierge staff is friendly, helpful, and respectful. Management has also been open to comments, suggestions and requests. My apartment is spacious, modern, and very comfortable. The roof deck is beautiful and open year round. It is great in warmer weather. The gym is more than adequate although the brand new City Fitness opened on the second floor here. It’s so convenient to have shops and restaurants on the ground floor! The neighborhood is wonderful and close to everything. Many of the residents on my floor are longtime dwellers: two years, thirteen years, twenty one years. That says something about the apartments as well as management. I am really truly happy living here and have told all my friends and others about life at The Sterling.
