Apex Manayunk Apartments

Been living here for a year and have loved the location. Gabrielle is very helpful with any questions I have and Jose is quick to take care of any service requests. Other reviews are clearly wrong in my mind.

I would stay away from this apartment complex. I have 3 daughters and they have lived in many apartments including some real sketchy ones during their college years. This was worse than any of them by far. No working dryer for at least 4 months. Broken blinds that were never repaired. No working air conditioning in the heat of summer for months. Then they say its fixed and THEN our PECO bill is over $750/month for 5 months. Note the average PECO bill for others is approximately $90/month. ... What does Apex do? NOTHING. They say too bad and will not assist. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!! Read More

If you would like to live in an apartment that has major maintenance issues, major parking issues, and with management that tries to take your money, this is the place for you.

In the short time I was a resident at Apex Manayunk (3 months) I experienced poor service in almost all areas. From to piles of trash in the dumpster area, to the horrendous parking situation there always seemed to be something wrong. I had some major issues in my unit when it came to maintenance as well. Lights not... working, water damage not being resolved, an HVAC unit that was never fixed. All that and I would have probably let it go, but here comes the best part.

After moving out in good standing with this place they now refuse to return my security deposit. The property manager there agrees with me that I should receive the total of that deposit, but due to a clerical error ON THEIR PART they are refusing. I now am forced to take them to court to attempt to get this deposit money back. Unacceptable.

Horrible place to live! They don’t fix issues, they don’t answer requests, it’s unsafe! Multiple units were robbed multiple times!!!

Unfortunately my experience after how the building handled the aftermath of Hurricane Ida on 01-Sep-2021 overshadowed all of the good memories I had at Apex Manayunk. The entire first floor was destroyed and we could not return for two weeks. For some reason I was not on any email communications after the flood. I returned to the building persistently to retrieve some stuff but I was not allowed in. There was one time I returned and a “security guard” was riding my bike for leisure, which I... thought I had lost in the storm. It was later revealed to me that some 15 apartments were robbed during the time we were displaced from our homes. Apparently it was an inside job performed by the security crew that was hired. We were given a concession for the time we were displaced from the building, but my utilities bill from Apex deviated little from the normal bill I usually received. The amenities fee also did not decrease, despite the fitness center, game room, and library all being destroyed in the storm. There were “now leasing” signs everywhere before I received a single status update from the property manager.

There was also a concerning number of robberies during my final months at Apex. In addition to the 15 robberies I had mentioned earlier, there were also quite a few others that followed and this became the norm. Before the storm there was a concierge/security guard at the front door every night. We also had to use our key fobs to enter the building at night. Neither of these features were implemented again after the storm. The key fob sensor was never fixed and the concierge/security guard’s presence was incredibly inconsistent, but for the most part, he/she was not there. Instead of replacing its security features, the building prioritized putting up “now leasing” signs. The current residents were truthfully forgotten about during my final months at Apex.

I would have loved to share how great the building was before 01-Sep-2021. However, Apex is no longer that same building and continues to head in the wrong direction. They do not answer your calls/emails, it is no longer safe to live there, and it was unjust how they continued to charge for amenities that no longer exist. I hope my experience encourages you to not sign a lease with Apex Manayunk, and I hope the surplus of available apartments on their website speaks to how many residents have decided to end/not renew their lease with Apex.
