1900 Arch Apartments

Shared ventilation systems means that if your neighbor smokes cigarettes (permitted in the lease) then your apartment, especially the bathroom will smell. Front desk workers on rotation and packages are frequently mishandled. Constant smell of dog pee in courtyard. Often dog poop and pee in common areas and on the roof deck. Heat was out for 11 days in January. AC out in September for 4 days. Fire alarms becoming more frequent and recently the alerts continued through 11:30 PM after it was... 'resolved' Upon calling the night hotline they informed me they weren't aware of any alarms. Read More

Management is terrible and it's not in the business of Tenant experience once they move in. Not interested in keeping happy tenants but turnover to fill the vacancy. Run like a corporation and feel like a prisoner from inside.

The management of this property ruins any upside these apartments have.

Pros:
- the location
- they typically offer 1 month free on a 12 month lease (which you can find many other places)

Cons:
- everything else
- mail and packages consistently get delivered to the wrong tenants
- the elevators are constantly broken
- the fire alarms go off AT LEAST 1x a month for no reason
- the bathrooms have terrible ventilation systems which lead to mold


Do not let the 1-month free special convince you... to live here - it is not worth it. The property's management company (PMC) has the most negative reviews of any property manager in the city, and for good reason. Read More

Lived here for more than 3 years. Awesome location. Trader Joe's and WholeFoods are walkable. Few blocks from many parks and great restaurants.
People at the leasing office and front desk are all very friendly.

I’ve lived at 1900 Arch for less than a year, in that time, ive heard EVERYTHING my neighbor does, ive has packages lost, dealt with vomit in the lobby after a Saturday night, inconsiderate gym goers and bad management. We were drawn to moving to this apartment with the specials they were offering, and I wish I had just read the reviews. There is way better for the price in Philly. I can’t wait to move out!
