Neighborhood

Recognized as one of America’s most historic neighborhoods, Germantown dates back centuries all the way to 1683. Even though it’s one of the oldest settlements in the city, Germantown has a relaxed and friendly vibe about it.

And speaking of its historic vanity – the Cliveden Estate’s backyard was the site of the 1777 Battle of Germantown. Along its main thoroughfare, a 2.5-acre rose garden flourishes with brightly-colored blooms at the Wyck House. Locals gather at the Johnson House – which was a stop on the Underground Railroad – to join in the Juneteenth Festival. The Revolutionary Germantown Festival is held every October and features reenactments of the Battle of Germantown.

Outside of their affordable apartments, locals can be found exploring Fernhill Park or dining at delicious eateries. Locals look forward to easy commutes to work by way of two SEPTA rail lines.

Not a comfortable place to live

Nice location- Noise level is ridiculous- serious mice problem- definitely not smoke free- parking lot fills up leaving tenant parking illegally or on the street. trash pile up quickly in parking lot Trash bin. And they have a nerve to go up on rent every year not $20 to $30 but $70 plus. Cheap carpets that rise up. If you decide to move here please Take an apartment on the top Floor as some of the tenants are very inconsiderate walking hard stomping ect. Manager does nothing about it.

FANTASTIC!

I have been here since Dec. 2013. If there were any Maintenance problems they were taken care of in a timely manner. As my need to down size I looked no further than here in this well kept community. Come check out this hidden off the street cottage
