Nice location, but that's about it. Nothing will be done to improve anything, but will get 10% increases each lease renewal. Corporate is out of touch and won't listen to you. Have had about 4 different maintenance people in last year so they never get responded to. Cars likely to be damaged by trees throughout property. Good place if wanting to spend way more than you get. Corporate couldn't care less about the individual due to having lots of properties.

Considered moving here. Loved location but property is old and renovations are substandard. Didn't see any apartment like one shown in advertisement. In unit washer and dryer with outdated sink hookup. Perhaps in need of new management.

The location is lovely, but it was not worth it to deal with the rude, dishonest, dismissive and unkind behavior of the management company and the property manager on site. For the joy of living near the woods, you will expect the constant intrusion of spiders and other bugs in your bedroom. The nicer kitchen inserted into an otherwise old apartment with broken closets, the cheapest possible laminated floors, paint peeling from the ceilings and windows from the 70's that come unexpectedly... crashing down, could all be overlooked in exchange for the access to the Wissahickon trails. But the behavior of the owners and the property manager have made this the worst experience I've ever had renting an apartment. This totally unnecessary way to relate to tenants is a very common topic among the tenants. If you do decide to rent here, be prepared for made-up charges added to your rent, ridiculously high, arbitrary utility fees that can't be confirmed by any meter and, if you should ever be a day late on rent, an over the top nasty letter threatening immediate legal action from a woman who will probably give you a fake smile if she passes you on the sidewalk the same day. The maintenance staff could not be nicer, but be sure to speak with them directly; you'll never get an answer to any concern brought to the office. Despite the potential of the environment, I have never been so happy to reach the last day of a lease. Read More

Was gonna rent from this place until I talked to other previous and current tenants. Don’t let the pictures they advertise deceive you! Way overpriced, horrible management, they raise the rent every year and yet refuse to fix up the apartments for the current tenants, and from what I understand, you pay for utilities even if your not there using them! (Is that even legal?!) No thanks! So many better options around to spend your hard earned money!

Negatives: The new management gouges tenants like mad on utilities. The apartment construction is so flimsy that you can forget any ideas you may have about privacy--there's no such thing as a private phone conversation or an intimate encounter in a Cherokee apartment. The rent increases, from lease to lease, are fickle and vary wildly.

Positives: Very charming locale, situated in the woods (unless you don't like living with spiders, wasps, snakes, and other forms of wildlife). The maintenance... staff are top notch. Read More
