2007-03-27 14:40:36   I called the apartments today [3/27/2007] the rent is 950 a month —JackkiCox

2008-01-29 13:13:26   the apartments are quiet, and the bedrooms are gigantic (minus the space taken up by the built in furniture). No bells and whistles but good for the money (2 bedroom, $950, january 2008). I must reiterate - nothing is new inside. —cognac

2008-01-29 15:34:43   Lived there during the 2006-2007 year. Gotta agree with cognac above. Peaceful living, and the rooms are indeed huge. Fairly low rent for the space you get, and the apartments are within walking distance of the downtown area as well as the Dollar Tree store. Parking space on the street was never a problem either (I could always find a spot within the line of sight of my bedroom or kitchen window) since most of the buildings in that area are single family homes. Also, the train tracks rarely produced any noticeable noise. Maintenance response times were also relatively fast, since the team checks and addresses the requests themselves whenever the manager is not there. —PaulAmnuaypayoat

2008-02-14 12:10:39   I lived here in the 2006-2007 school year and my girlfriend lives here now. The rooms are really good sized, the rent is cheap, the management is great (Barbara is the nicest manager ever!) and the maintenance is fast. The only drawbacks are, no dishwashers and the built in furniture differs by apartment. The model unit had built in desks but the unit I moved into (#12) had a built in bookshelf in one room and a built in dresser in the other. No biggie, but make sure you check out what furniture you actually need before moving in. Also, the railroad tracks are literally 10 feet from the parking lot, so if your window is open, the trains can get loud during the day. Then again, my window faces the parking lot. Apartments on the other side of the complex probably have no problem at all. —William.Peacock

However, if you need work done Billy is really slow and sometimes never actually fixes what you need fixed. The manager Barbara is really nice to people but, does not address concerns unless they are beneficial to her and she is rarely onsite. The place is spacious inside, but everything is old and when they replace something with "new stuff" it may not actually include "new". There is built in furniture, but it limits wall space for your own furniture. The noise from side to side apartments is non-existant, but a couple people downstairs say that the up down noise is ridiculous and goes unaddressed by management. I only know that having to go up and down the stairs all the time is annoying especially with groceries and laundry. Oh, they say no dogs, but they only turned away a gay couple with a dog, four people upstairs have them and five people downstairs have dogs so that is a lie, poor gay couple. Oh yeah and the noise and apartment smells lingers in the central courtyard so it is hard to keep the windows open in the summer. Our neighbors have like 8 people living with them so I feel bad for the people downstairs not to mention a bunch of people upstairs have gyms and stairmasters and kids so I assume it gets pretty loud. There is a lot of gossip here too, the manager tells your business to people in the complex, which if you don't want people to know you shouldn't say it to strangers, but still. Overall, it is an ok place to live if you are upstairs, I don't think I'd be in a downstairs unit, but hey it is Davis little attention is given to renters. Laundry is 2.50 for 1 load wash and dry I usually spend $40 a month on it. 1 parking permit per apartment. The pool makes a loud noise sometimes too. Hope this helps future renters! —LindaHT

2011-03-09 07:39:39   I have lived at Pennsylvania Place Apartments for over six years. I have only good things to say about it. I know the property manager, the maintenance person, and the owners by character and to some extent personally. This is not a newer property with fancy exercise equipment. Rather, things are handled in a personal manner, in a prompt and reasonable fashion. It might be what you want. —RichardHennies

2011-03-18 12:50:01   2-bedrooms are $950 for 2010-2011; $850 for one bedroom. Manager is there on Mondays and Thursdays but will come for an appointment anytime. Quiet, small complex. I know for a fact that there are no dogs allowed and no dogs living there. Only cats are OK. —JanKeith

2011-03-18 12:56:13   the rents are $950 for 2bdroom for 2010-0211; one bedrooms are $850. It is a small complex of 28 units and is usually quiet. The most adults in an apartment are 3. I know for a fact that there have never been dogs allowed; and no dogs living there. Cats are ok and there are several, mostly stay inside. Manager Barbara is happy to come for an appointment, but is only there on Mondays and Thursdays. Place in general is well-kept. —JanKeith

2011-06-16 23:06:34   I live in an apartment in J Street and the trains hook together in the morning right outside my window.. It's REALLY loud... I've talked to people who also live on J street but closer to downtown... does anyone who has lived here have anything to say about how loud the train is? I don't mind the sound of it going by.. it's the slamming them together at 8 AM that I can't stand. —KarinaSnapp
