The Glen at Shawmont Station Apartments

My wife and I (and our dog) really enjoy living at the Glen. If you are looking for a quality place tucked away but still largely accessible, this is the place for you. Really, don’t pass it up.

My wife and I don’t want to consider ourselves to be picky when apartment shopping, but we kinda are. The Glen has exceeded our expectations in a variety of ways.

- The staff, Kevin and Laura, have been SUPER helpful since we’ve been here. We often have a lot of requests for them and they often go out... of their way to help us out.
- It’s relatively quiet (for the city) which we love, and the spacious parking has been nice. It’s also SUPER green with all the trees and plants which is a nice touch.
- The apartments are pretty unique in layout which I have found to be just a small thing to make it feel like home.
- For city living, it’s a pretty affordable price for what you are getting!
- On occasion, the leasing office host’s parties and friendly competitions online which has been a fun way to engage with the community.

All in all, we find it to be one of our favorite locations to live. We would recommend it! Many thanks to Laura and Kevin for going out of your way to serve us. Y’all are the coolest.

I was instantly drawn to this complex because of its proximity to Manayunk but nice quiet ambiance and community. It was a very good decision. The leasing office and staff continuously prove to be helpful, welcoming, and understanding. The development has a gym, cafe, and dog park, all that I benefit from despite not having a dog! The neighbors are welcoming and friendly. The apartments feel like home and are updated and modern. With so many options, It was easy to find the perfect fit for me.... Since it is so close to Manayunk, I can enjoy downtown while still being able to relax on my balcony and enjoy the quiet night if I want.

I definitely feel like I’m part of a community instead of just a resident filling a space. It has been great to adapt and live here. I definitely recommend for families, couples, singles, retirees, or young adults starting their journey. There is a mix of people for everyone in the community that is great.

I am looking forward to the rest of my time here! A great place! Read More

If it seems too good to be true, it is! This company is all smiles but incredibly sketchy and dishonest under the surface. Hundreds of dollars in fees not mentioned in the lease, changing stories, nasty attitudes, EXTREMELY unhelpful. We ended up canceling our lease before we even moved in. I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt, but I can only assume it would have been an entire year of this same behavior so, no thanks!

I was a resident for 4 years at the Glen and was sorry to move. My job transferred e to the west coast and I miss my lovely apartment at Shawmont Station. The complex is located on top of a hill and is in a very pretty setting. We were close enough to the nightlife in town, yet far enough away from the hustle.
There is ample parking and a great office staff.
I will miss Kevin who "is" The Glen. He and his team were always responsive to any minor issue that came up. Repairs were done swiftly... and they were on top of the maintenance in the complex.
The apartments were very competitively priced and on the west coast I am paying double and it's not half as nice!
The property is about 10 years old and they are constantly updating the apartments. You get stainless steel appliances and a washer dryer in each unit.
They have an onsite 24 hour Gym and there is a nice coffee bar with snacks available as well.
Highly recommend if you are looking for a place in the area. Read More

The property is under new management and is not what it used to be. Lived here for years but do not recommend it now. They send out terse notices to residents, claim they provided notice when they did not. The front office was the best part of living here and that’s no longer the case.
