I lived in a 2 Bed/2Bath unit facing the back (away from the trains), and loved the large windows letting in lots of sunlight and overlooking the towpath. Pros: -Large windows that let in lots of sunlight. -Convenient to the the towpath walking trail, with bikes you can rent and ride to downtown Manayunk. -Offers the option of renting a garage space. -Close to Manayunk's Main Street shopping, yet tucked away in a quiet, residential area. -Convenient access to Septa train station - great for commuters. Cons: -Noise from the Septa train. -Bugs, centipedes frequently seen in the entranceway / hallway. Overall, this was a decent apartment experience for me and was a good transition while I explored options for purchasing a home in a new city.

I have lived here for 4 months. While there have been some minor irritations, overall, the…read moreexperience has been good. When you factor in the rent, the value is excellent. It is a 4-star property, with an additional star for the excellent people. I would like to commend the leasing agent, Victor, and Alex who is in charge of maintenance. Once, I was struggling with a large piece of furniture from Ikea. Victor saw that and helped me carry it to my apartment. But (a) this is not Victor's job, and (b) Victor's shift was already over and he was heading home. A+ Alex has also been very prompt and helpful with the few maintenance issues we have had so far. He typically resolves the issue the same day or the day after we report any issues unless parts need to be ordered. The Station is a 20-minute walk from Manayunk's Main Street, but it is right next to Ivy Ridge station so getting to work is a breeze. The proximity does mean that you can hear the train from the apartment. I had to buy a white noise machine to mask the noise of the train.

The apartments have vintage charm from the 1920s including glass doorknobs and cast iron tubs. The sunroom let's in natural light and works great as an office and 2nd bedroom.

Great value for the money. I have lived here a few years now and have enjoyed it. The area is…read morequiet, safe and located close to the mall, not to mention most of the major highways. There have been no crime(s) here that I am aware of since moving in. The management is quick to respond to reported issues and are always friendly. My neighbors have been quiet and people generally keep to themselves. No crazy drama going on outside either. The buildings are well maintained. They plow snow, cut the grass...etc etc...If you have a problem in the apartment, let them know and they will send someone out the next business day. (they have people available for emergencies of course..) It isn't the most fancy place you can find, but I think they are decent enough. They have pay laundry rooms in each building, a bit of room for storage in the basement areas. (Figure about another 20 dollars per month for this..) Heat / hot water is included in the price of rent, this is a good value. You pay for electric. (60-100 a month in my experience...) Traffic in and around the area isn't too bad, but you should learn some back roads during the Christmas time! Mall traffic is crazy on 202. Well worth checking out!

I've been living here for 5 years in a row now so I guess I'm qualified for some comments. I've…read morebeen to some of my friends' rental places in the area and none of them is both as good and affordable as Belmont Village. It's located in a quiet and beautiful neighborhood, and it feels rather safe as well. Maintenance is usually quick and easy - all I need to do is to write an email about the issue and couple of days later I come home to find the issue resolved. It's got secured building entrance, but package delivery is right to my door. Staffs are really nice although I don't really find the need to talk to them much. There are more than enough parking spots for both the tenants and guests. The lovely little pool could be an addition, if I loved water (and I don't). Another perk is free heating, not sure if that's standard in the area but there's big savings during Pennsylvania winters. As for downsides, there really isn't anything major to complain about, considering the price. Shared laundry, spotty wireless signal (I'm AT&T), monopoly of Xfinity internet, plain design and decoration, and that's about it. The storage might be a bit tight but for a guy it has been quite enough. So overall, it's totally worth the price. And they allow cats!

I have lived here a couple of years and have had mostly a positive experience. There are a number…read moreof pros and cons that I will list out below. Honestly I would prefer to give it 3.5 stars, but rounded up to 4 because I do not believe 3 would be justified. PROS: - Maintenance and the office management are amazing. Very friendly and responsive. They even listen to valid complaints and have adjusted my rent without asking. It was not much, but it spoke volumes to me that someone actually listens and cares. - Cat friendly building with no pet deposit/rent. Dogs are not permitted (see cons) - Apartments are very large and spacious - Everything included in the rent (apt are not individually metered so electric is included), cable/internet is the only thing not. - They just turned an apartment into a beautiful new gym/exercise room with all new equipment - Location is wonderful and the grounds are beautiful. - They really focus on the building. In the last couple of years, all new carpeting, new main entryway, etc. - The management puts on some events; organizes trick or treating, ice cream on the first day of summer, a visit from Santa Claus, etc. - LOVE that the kitchen refrigerators have working automatic ice makers. - Also love that packages are delivered to your apartment. All deliveries are made to the office and then in the late afternoon, staff comes and delivers the packages to your apartment door. You can even have dry cleaning delivered to the office and they will bring it to your apartment. CONS: - missing some modern conveniences found in most of the buildings in the area such as garbage disposals, in unit w/d, etc. - storage space is a little limited - Electric is a nightmare. In a 2 bedroom apt there are light fixtures in the hall, dining room, and kitchen. Nothing in the bedrooms. Outlets are in very short supply, only 2 in each bedroom and one is controlled by the switch for your room light, which means basically one usable outlet. And in my master, the light switch controlled outlet is where the apt company ran the Fios equipment (Fios fiber is installed in every apartment) which means you can't use the switch as it has to stay on at all times. - Garage rent is 3x-5x more than other complexes in the area. - Dogs are not permitted. That being said, there are tons and tons of "emotional support dogs", most of which are not well behaved, bark, and not controlled by their owners. Frequently have dogs running up to me and jumping on me in the elevator, hallway, or garage. - The beautiful gym is not included. There is a one time access fee and then a monthly charge based on the number of people in the apt who want to use it. - It is frequently difficult to find washers/driers not in use and often necessitates walking to the other side of the building and hoping to find an empty one. - The apartments have beautiful hardwood flooring. However, under the leasing agreement they have to be something like 80% of the space covered by area rugs. Which kind of negates having hardwood in the first place. If you're going to require that, just install carpet. Of course, I get why they don't, that's another expense that would have to be regularly replaced just from normal wear and tear. Plus hardwood is a "selling" point. Pricing is maybe slightly high compared to the area even taking into account you have to pay for electric at most other places, especially taking into account the lack of in unit amenities that are offered pretty much everywhere else. I can understand, as no doubt they build in quite a cushion for electric. I can imagine most people run their AC much more often and at much colder temps than if they had to pay the electric bill themselves. All said, I will probably continue to remain for a couple more years as there are definitely some huge pros and the cons currently do not outweigh the cost and hassle of moving. If I was still at the point in my life where moving could be accomplished in an afternoon with a couple of buddies and a U-Haul, it would be more of a toss up.

There are some very nice features about this apartment. The property is lovely - large and…read morebeautiful. The maintenance staff is extremely responsive, 24hrs/day. However, the place really needs some sprucing up. First problem is the heating. It is very difficult to control the heating in the cold months. You can only pull a string that opens and closes the vent. It's bizarre in this day and age. The windows are old, not double-paned, so that there are drafts. The dry heat in the winter sometimes results in an apartment that is TOO hot and too dry. You can rent an air conditioner that they will put in the window for you. The AC units are old and noisy. Second problem is they could provide new wallpaper in the halls, and new carpeting in the halls. It has a very musty odor. So it's a very mixed bag. Also watch out when you vacate. They don't tell you in your original lease, but when you leave you have to leave the place as it was when you moved in, or they will retain your security deposit. It's not "broom clean" deal like we expect. The price of that is much much more than it would ever cost a cleaning crew to clean up. I don't think that any of that would hold up in court but are you going to challenge them? Watch out. But truly the management, which is part of a larger management corporation, is taking advantage of that by not installing new and energy-efficient windows, and by not sprucing up the hallways and main foyer more. The front driveway and entrance way could use some railings..... The driveway is sloped and in the winter it's very slippery and icy.

I absolutely HATE rodents specifically rats and mice. My mother and I have never seen any in our 6 years of living here but out of no where bunches of them are coming into our home, not to mention when i called maintenance about the problem I don't think they took me seriously. I have also had this problem ever since I moved here when my toilet gets super clogged every two months and I had to learn how to unclog it myself because the maintenance people obviously weren't doing a good job.

Do not rent here. The apartments are very overpriced, $1,645 being the cheapest and smallest apt…read moreyou can rent. None of the apts have central a/c or the ability to control the room temperature (heat is base board and is either on or off, no temperature settings.) I was without heat for 4 days in March of this year when temperatures dipped into the teens, so I did not pay rent for 4 days, and management still insists I owe it to them (the PA state law says I don't.) They were supposed to do a massive heating system overhaul in March 2020 but instead bought another property. Every and any bit of work they do is done as cheaply as possible. Our front doors stick because they painted right over the old paint without scraping or sanding. Contractors typically show up in unmarked white vans, and I once called the police because there was a young boy in the hallways ripping out old, dirty carpet from the stairwells without any protective clothing or filtered mask. The massive pot hole in the back parking lot was filled only with sand. The management decided to contract with Comcast, so you have no choice but to use Comcast for internet. My bill went from $40 to $60 to $100 in 2 years, and you have no leverage because they know it's the only service you can get. Walls are thin, you can hear everything in the hallways and your neighbors going to the bathroom and flushing the toilet. My bedroom window doesn't close all the way because it wasn't installed properly, the fan in the bathroom vents into the ceiling (black mold growing around it,) and they even turned down the water pressure after the start or Covid to keep the water bill down! They don't hire a lifeguard for the pool, and we don't know who does the chlorine checks, so few people swim it out of health concerns. Management is greedy, rude, and there have been at least 4 different assistant property managers since I moved in. You can rent a nicer place for less money in Media. The only redeeming quality is Shaun the maintenance guy, but once he's gone, you'll be out of luck. Go elsewhere for nearly $1,700/mo.
