I lived here for one year when it was “Royal Athena” and they are very beautiful and cozy apartments. The greatest highlight of this property would be the pencoyd bridge and walking area right in the backyard. You will also be sooo close to Manayunk which is fun and extremely easy to walk over to in the summer time and have some drinks with friends. For the most part, I enjoyed the community and neighbors ! A lot of happy dogs running around, which I loved! My only negatives for this property... are that you have to walk quite a distance depending on where your apartment unit is located to throw out your trash as there are only like 2 spots per floor on opposite ends of the floor. The other negative is that there were a couple times I didn’t feel safe because of an attempted kidnapping that occurred as well as many car break ins. Overall, the experience I had at this complex was a very nice one. Read More

Harbor Group recently took over as management for the property and since has driven this place in to the group. Crime is getting worse - forced break-ins and robberies that management refuses to address. Maintenance takes forever even when AC goes out during a heat wave. Trash is piling up all over the complex. Amenities are often broken (elevators/bridge/pool). Doors are left unlocked. Lower Merion Police are on the property daily in the last 2 weeks.

I have been living here for several years now, and honestly I enjoy living in this place. It’s neat, on the river, close to the city while still giving you the privacy and space of the suburb. The prices are reasonable given the nearby comparison. Whenever I have a maintaianxe request, it usually get fulfilled quickly. As being a new building, there has been incidents of fire alarms due to issues related to the building, but it’s sparse and expected given the relatively new building. Last but... not least, having a great management is the most important. Sandy and Tess are great! Every interaction with them is great and they’ll tropically do everything they can to help you! Thanks to them for making the living in the building more convenient! Read More

In my time living here since June '19, there have been numerous false fire alarms and at least 4 car break-ins. 3 weeks ago I woke up to 20 cars broken into and management responded with roaming security. Well, earlier this week, I woke up to more car break-ins and security cameras are just now being considered for installation. I feel unsafe living here and I feel like the apartment does not care about my well-being. When I moved here, I assumed there would be security with the higher rent for... the area. I'm shocked that I find myself double checking my door locks and my car. Read More

The Royal Athena is structurly built wrong. The walls iare VERY thin. To the point you can't sleep. Fire alarms go off multiple times a night. Management is incompetent and irresponsible. Bikes are stolen, no security cameras. Mold..Mold..Mold..
DO NOT MOVE HERE. WASTE OF MONEY... When no one is moving in they will rent to anyone. Not luxury at ALL
