2 year Tenant
This property was awesome! Great area of the city. Close to Center City, transportation, schools, and shopping. Apartment was very clean and well maintained. Management had a very accommodating and friendly attitude. Monthly rent was reasonable and affordable. I would still be there if employment did not require me to relocate! Highly Recommend!

We are sorry to hear about the length you have been on the waiting list for The Universal Properties. The demand to live at this location is very high which can result in potential applicants waiting a long time. We have many other properties... around Philadelphia that may fit your needs that do not have a waiting list. Again, we are sorry for the frustration.

Rent with caution
Nice unit but rent here only if you're ok with constant gunfire on the corner of your apt, loud music from neighbors and drug front corner stores and constant police presence from all the crime. You're unit will be mixed in a neighborhood with public housing residents so there will most likely be much drug activity and crime where you'll live. U.P also has horrible mgmt. I've dealt with 5 different managers since living here and was forced to vacate due to a notice I never received.

Horrible Experience
I called numerous times and been place on hold for over 10 minutes. I was told that management had called me but my number was not in service. They have my address so why they did mail me notice of a available apartment. My experience so far has be horrible.
