Alright apartment

For a cheap price, the building is ok. It is obviously outdated and not always the most well maintained, at least in building C where I am staying in. I was orginally appalled with the room I had been given, having the floors be disgusting and uncleaned and the kitchen light not working. However, the staff is nice and respondent enough to address issues you may be having from the space.

Property Manager at Parkway Plaza, Responded To This Review

Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. We're sincerely sorry to hear that aspects of your stay in our apartment didn't meet your expectations. Our team takes cleanliness and maintenance seriously, and we'll use your feedback to address these areas immediately.

Honest Review

Living here is very safe and comfortable, even at such an affordable price. I brought my family here, and my two kids love playing around. Additionally, it only takes five minutes to walk to Weis for my daily needs. So far, it’s hard to find any negative points about Parkway. Lastly, I love the wide, open view with not too many buildings around

Property Manager at Parkway Plaza, Responded To This Review

We're thrilled to hear that you and your family are enjoying life at Parkway! Your endorsement about the safety, comfort, affordability, and accessibility of our location means so much.

So much space

My roommate and I live in a 2 bed 1 bath apartment and we were both very surprised to see just how spacious the area was. Even after unpacking all of our things nothing felt crowded or crammed

Pretty good for PennState

Rooms are pretty big, pre furnished costs aren’t too high, each second floor has a washer and dryer room so there isn’t too much of a wait, comes with an all route bus pass so transportation is easy. Only complaint is that work order take a bit too long to be resolved.

Property Manager at Parkway Plaza, Responded To This Review

We appreciate your thoughtful review and are pleased to hear that you're enjoying the amenities, room size, and transportation convenience at our property. We highly value your feedback on the speed of work order resolutions - it's crucial for us to continue improving our services. We're currently looking into ways to expedite this process.

Decent for the price!

I’ve lived here since 2020 in the same apartment. There have, of course, been several issues over the years but most have been resolved. The new management team is doing their best to make this place worth living at.

A great apartment for graduate student

I am a PhD student and have been here for two years now and have my lease signed for the next year. It's a wonderful apartment with all the amenities that you can find in a college town. They give a free bus pass for all the bus routes in State College. It's walkable to campus. I am in the furnished unit and it has been very convenient. The building is a tad bit old but maintainance is always available. The staff is kind, friendly and helpful. It's a good place to live!

Property Manager at Parkway Plaza, Responded To This Review

We are thrilled to hear that you're enjoying your stay and find our apartment convenient for your lifestyle as a PhD student!

My experience

I have been living in Parkway for few months now, it has been blessing experience but I have few things that I didn’t like. The building is outdated and need a lot of improvements. There is many parts in my house that needed repair when I moved in and there is still many other. Maintenance is slow yet very helpful. The team usually responds fast so I did renew for another year, hopefully they will fix some of those issues.

Property Manager at Parkway Plaza, Responded To This Review

Most issues with the apartment have been fixed. Good maintenance team that responds quick. Not a bad place to live and fairly cheap.

do not recommend

This place has some noxious smells. Lot of paint peeiling, mold seems to be a problem. Weird unexepected charges. Maintenance is ok. Office seems to only care about looks on the webpage and facebook that does not show the real conditions.

Property Manager at Parkway Plaza, Responded To This Review

Thank you for your honest review. Please reach out to the office so we can talk further about addressing your concerns.

Getting Better

Before moving in, I have heard a few things about the place. It didn't bother me until it was my time to move into the place. My unit was in a bad condition because the previous tenant trashed the place and left just like that. The management apologized and they sent teams to clean the place. They even changed the flooring from carpet to vinyl. The place is unrecognizable now thanks to the management and the maintenance team. If you are thinking of renting here, just know that the management will be ready to help if anything happens.

Property Manager at Parkway Plaza, Responded To This Review

We are thrilled to hear about your positive experience with our team! Our aim is always to provide top-notch service, and we're so glad that we were able to transform your unit into something you love. Thank you for your understanding during the initial condition of the place, and for sharing this feedback letting prospective tenants know we stand ready to assist whenever needed. We greatly appreciate it!

Affordable Living near Campus

Parkway Plaza may not be the fanciest looking appartments but the staff are helpful,the rent is reasanable and location is not to far from campus and is near Weis so grocery shopping is like a 5 minite ealk away. Also bus pass for all route is included in rent so it really great!

Spacious.

I’ve been living at Parkway Plaza in State College for about a month, and it’s been a pleasant experience so far. The neighborhood is quiet and serene, and I really appreciate the spacious room and the free CATA bus pass for all routes. The leasing resident coordinators are friendly and always helpful whenever I visit the office. The only downside is that the pool needs to be fixed, but overall, I’d definitely recommend Parkway Plaza to others. The community is diverse, and it’s well-suited for everyone—families, students, and professionals alike.

Great place to live at State College

This place is a great place to live. Not only is it conveniently placed where there is access to groceries and other stores, but the bus runs right next to it and can take you anywhere and as a student it is very convenient. They provide many amenities that help new State college people make it more like home plus the staff is great at the leasing office. 10/10 recommend.

Very Pleased

My boyfriend and I are living together this school year in a 1 bedroom apartment. It is incredibly spacious and was clean when we got there. The patio is very spacious, and the kitchen has almost everything you need (make sure you bring a microwave). Laundry is quick and easy, as well as the trash chute making it easier to get rid of trash! Over all, I am very happy with the apartment and amenities :)

Good, could be better.

I signed with this apartment while the old management was here and they were very caring and extremely understanding people. Whatever changed I am unaware of. Rent is reasonable, however the $35 surcharge of paying online as a “convenience fee” is ridiculous. I also was trying to downgrade to something cheaper and more affordable and the property manager condescendingly explained why that was not possible. Moving from this topic to parking; parking is reasonable except for the consistent cars parked in the handicapped parking space who are clearly not handicapped and do not have a window designator saying they are disabled. It’s basically open parking and no one gets towed, but God forbid if you need a parking pass for family members and you come by the office 45 minutes before “closing time”, no one’s there and you risk getting towed.

Property Manager at Parkway Plaza, Responded To This Review

We're truly sorry for the issues you've experienced and appreciate your feedback. We understand your concerns regarding the payment surcharge and parking situation, as well as our communication approach. Please know we are urgently looking into these matters to provide a better experience moving forward.

Nice affordable place with moderately convenient busses to get to campus. Plus a lot of space in the bedrooms and living room. Kitchen is a little small

Has what I need as a college student (Alicia Ahakinian)

I've had a few issues over the course of my two years here (towing injustice, mold in my closet), but it's been a fairly decent stay otherwise. Washer and dryer on my floor, bus pass included in rent. Can't complain too much.

Worth the buck

The apartment complex is one of the most budgets friendly areas in state college, with literally all utilities included in the rent. Additionally, it's convenient in that it's both located near campus and offers a free bus pass (via CATA). It's a work in progress but the best value for your money

Great Deal!

The bedrooms are bigger than in any other apartment. The rent is cheap and comes with a bus pass. There’s a balcony. This place is a great deal. I was worried it’d be too far from campus but the busses run late and it’s a max 15 minute walk if you miss the bus. Also the staff are great! 4/5 stars only because it’s a little far away to host friends.

Good experience

I've been lived here for a semester and I can say it's a wonderful experience. Parkway plaza makes you feel like home and it's a quiet place for you to study and relax. It's close to Weis market and very close to the campus around 20 min walk.

Reasonable for Students

Hi, I've moved to Parkway Plaza apartments this year and it's been five months. I'll talk about some pros and cons that I have seen and must be shared for future residents. Pros: - the rent include all utilities (electric, gas, internet), which is pretty nice - closeby with a walk of 20 mins to downtown - CATA bus pass is available but it only covers few routes and it would be great if more options were available. - HVAC is good (summers and winters both) so no worries about inclined weather (controlled by the property, tenants can turn ON/OFF only) Cons: - Old apartments and too many cockroaches in the units (lucky if your apartment is free of them) - Swimming pool is never open. - Fitness center have few machines (mostly cardio) - mail delivery is mostly at entrance (packages have been lost in the past) - Maintenance is not good, takes so much time and they try to fix usually instead of replacing them.

Great place with great value

I think Parkwayplaza is a good place to live on with the most budget friendly apartment in state college. There new management is doing really great in terms of maintenance. The apartments are large and spacious. Although there are little issues but I think the management are taking care of those things and making the place a better one to live on.

Feels like Home

A great place for students (living alone as well as with family) to stay. Best part is no hassle of arranging for a roommate in shared units. Rooms are big and affordable, quick maintenance is a plus. I've lived for more than a year now - no rats or insects, very good environment overall.

Great overall energy!

The staff here are very communicative and understanding. They are also very accommodating to having emotional support animals. The units are very spacious, especially the single-bedroom apartments. If I had one complaint it would be that the actual complex is older and does have its issues but the staff are always on call if any problems arise.

Nice and quite place to live

I've lived here for over a year now, and I love this nice and quiet place. It's not too far from the downtown and campus, and I also like that there's a bus stop and Weis nearby. Except for the fact that the rent is increasing, I think this is a perfect place to live.
