So far so good, this place also has a great community! I would definitely recommend these apartments to friends and family. They get a ton of bonus points with the extra doggie wash station!!

Overall. Very good. Maintenance of the grounds and infrastructure is better than most places. Happy to see vehicles that do not belong here get towed away. Good activities for the kids and families. The cost of living here is a little on the high side.

Worst rental experience I've ever had. Had to remind the property of the terms listed in the lease agreement to ensure the terms were met

It's alright place to live.. It's close to a lot of stores and restaurants and Adventureland is right up the street! The Emory itself is a one of a kind.

The apartment manager is great and works with you as much as she can and is very understanding. Most people are friendly and most of the neighbors are quiet. My family has lived here for a few years and we’ve had lots of noisy neighbors but they don’t last long. Things change pretty often here so that’s a little confusing but overall it’s great here.

7/30/25

Extremely courteous and professional staff, I was 65-year-old retired businessman, and I was impressed with everybody here so far… I would recommend this community to everybody

Overall, the apartment has some really nice amenities. The pool area is attractive, though it can get a bit crowded, especially considering the number of buildings in the complex. I love the large windows in the units, they let in a lot of natural light and give the interior a bright, modern feel. The design and finishes inside the apartment are also a big plus. One downside is that our building occasionally had some noisy neighbors during the night, which affected the overall quietness. Still, the positives have mostly outweighed the negatives in our experience.

We moved into The Emory about two weeks ago, and our experience has been nothing short of excellent so far. The move-in process was incredibly easy, and the unit itself is absolutely beautiful. We love the open layout and high-quality appliances, and it’s been very quiet and peaceful. The clubhouse is one of our favorite features—it’s a great space to study, play games, or meet other residents. There’s plenty of parking, and we feel very safe here. I would absolutely recommend The Emory to anyone looking for a new home—there’s truly nothing else this nice in Altoona.

Good place to live. Management handled issues professionally when I first moved in last year. Haven’t had any other issues since so I haven’t had to call them up but they’re very responsive to any questions I have. Would love to see more food trucks come around again especially with the pool being open! :)

A beautiful and pet friendly place to go home! Staff is welcoming and kind. Neighbors are often friendly but not always polite about common areas

I lived at The Emory for almost 3 years before relocating to Mexico to be with my husband. The facilities and staff are top notch. Office staff were always ready with a friendly smile. Community engagement activities offered a variety of opportunities for residents to meet each other. The recent pool party had a good turnout, and we really enjoyed it. Maintenance work requests were completed quickly and to a high standard. Most often within 20 minutes of submission. Everyone worked hard to keep the community inviting. My elderly dog and I appreciated that The Emory is pet friendly, and we used the pet wash on more than one occasion. I loved living at The Emory, and if you're considering it, I'm sure you'll love it too.

From applying, to getting the keys, and getting moved in was so simple, fast and easy! Staff upfront was easy to get ahold of, and helped with any questions I had! Also the helpful options you can choose from when applying for the apartment was cool. 10/10 recommend.

Everything around the complex clean and well kept. The move in process was super easy. The decor of the apartments in modern and refreshing. Appreciate how quiet things are as well!

The apartment itself is beautiful and maintenance does an awesome job of communicating when they will be coming into the units for checks on certain things. They also respond quickly if anything is needing repaired.

There isn’t as much of a sound barrier as I expected. Not sure if it’s different with other apartments though. We can hear someone cough and that’s a little weird. Not a big deal but they should get that cough checked out. Otherwise fine

Been here for a couple of months now and it has been great experience so far! Maintenance is always super quick. No complaints. The only small thing is my particular building is often out of parking spaces but with the weather warming up it’s not a big deal.

Apartments are beautiful and modern. Absolutely love the gym and pool. Maintenance staff are always prompt and fix issues quickly. Only downside is I can hear my upstairs neighbor quite a bit especially when they have shoes on and paint chips easily. Some residents are very inconsiderate and leave garbage in the stairs as well. I think it’s a pretty typical price for apartments these days. However, it would be nice to have water and garbage still included.

We moved from a couple hours away and needed a safe and clean apartment within a short time period. The staff have been super helpful, clear with their communication and happy to any questions or concerns! The Emory at Altoona cares about their tenants and goes above and beyond to host events for all ages and interest levels!

I am very grateful for the accommodations that the office staff made to work with me on my move as I am going through a complex move situation. They answered any and all questions I had and even allowed me to view the unit and help with measurements.

When moving back to Altoona and living on my own I was trying to figure out what apartment would be best in my interests. 6 months in and I do no regret moving into the Emory. Thankful for such a place!

We love it here. The staff is very friendly. Anytime we have had repair issues they are always on it. We appreciate that. We cannot wait until it warms up outside to enjoy the pool and fire pit.

Es muy bueno vivir aquí me gusta solo que aveces hacen mucho ruido los vecinos de arriva parece que estuvieran brincando solo eso pero lo demás todo bien

Overall, my experience in this apartment community has been positive. Management is responsive, and maintenance requests are handled promptly. The leasing process was smooth, with clear communication on policies and updates. Amenities like the fitness center and shared spaces are well-maintained, and security measures add to the sense of safety. The apartment units are modern, with quality appliances and spacious layouts. Noise levels vary depending on neighbors, but parking is sufficient, and landscaping is well-kept. Improvements could be made in soundproofing, quicker resolution of community-wide concerns, and consistent upkeep of shared spaces. Despite minor areas for enhancement, this is a well-managed and comfortable place to live, offering a good balance of convenience and service.

Good improvement with snow and ice removal! The carpets are well maintained. Very impressed with the response from the maintenance team. The office, clubhouse, and exercise room have a fresh inviting appeal.

The maintenance is very fast to respond and create a ticket. Our building is spacious. I absolutely love the bathrooms with the mini walk in closets. The pantry is to die for! As well as the laundry room! Management is very nice too, and I love how there’s activities that management creates, to make a bond for the community!

I just moved in earlier this month and the staff has been extremely flexible and helpful. If things stay this way, I’ll likely be here for a while!

I genuinely love it here! The apartments are very updated and nice and the staff is amazing! The community is also very active with plenty of events going on all year for the whole complex. Definitely recommend living here.

Really love this place. Everything is so nice. Moving in was hardly a chore with the elevators. I only live in one of many buildings, but it's very quiet. Coffee bar is the coolest thing I have seen. I just wish people who live here would be nicer to the garbage and recycle area. They treat it like trash, no pun intended.

This place has changed so much this year with new management . It has gotten so expensive now making us pay for water and trash and charged for insurance although I already had renters insurance was a hassle to get it removed . They couldn’t find the old documents from when I first moved in so had to fill out again about my pet accusing me of not saying I had a pet previous because they couldn’t find the paperwork ! I love the apartments I just wish the prices would stop going up every year it’s already expensive enough !
