The Glen At Shawmont Station

Meagan Richards

The community seems like a very welcoming place. Since signing my lease I’ve been included in the weekly emails on all the events going on at the complex, which always sound very intriguing. I get a sense from the communications that there truly is a sense of community beyond the talk a lot of other apartments give. I’ve visited the property, which is very clean and quiet. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to give a complete review of the living experience, as I won’t be able to complete my move here. I experienced a death in the family 2 days before picking up my keys and was not allowed to shift my move in date or reapply for any other units in the future, which is unfortunate, as I could have seen myself happy there for a few years. Should any circumstances bar you from becoming one, they do seem to be pretty caring of their current residents.

We lived for just short of 3 years at The Glen, and had a great experience living there. There are the simple reasons, such as the easy parking, short commute to the train/bus, and 5 min drive to Manayunk. But more than that, our experience was made great because of the people that worked and lived there. Our neighbors were friendly, and the staff was more than accommodating (Laura, Kevin, Jeff, & Jack!) In the 3 years we were there, of course there were some maintenance issues that needed tending to. Whenever we put in a request, it was taken care of in 24 hours or often times less. We were comfortable living there and highly recommend it to anyone looking to move to that area. If you want the best of city life but a more suburban feel, this is definitely the place! Also, the Schuykill River Trail is a 3 min drive away and goes all the way to Manayunk via the river!

At the beginning of the year, I had a sudden need to change housing. Within 16 hours of inquiring, and after the exchange of a few emails, I was doing a walk through. 2 days later, I was moving in. Responses to my emails and questions were VERY timely and always helpful (which was so appreciated, given the stress around moving). The apartment itself is spacious, clean, and very quiet (even though I'm on the ground floor!). Everything I could want for my son and I. A few things I like most about the property is the ease of access to local hiking and biking trails. Likewise, I'm 20 minutes from downtown and 20 minutes from King of Prussia. You really can't beat the placement. What's incredibly is even being so close to the city, its so quiet here at the actual property.

If you're looking for a new apartment in Philadelphia, the Glen is perfect for new families and those commuting to Grad school! The staff is so incredibly nice and was very accommodating when we had to move in "sight-unseen" from Michigan last summer. Kevin was awesome and got pictures and all of the details about the apartment we were looking at the day we called, and we were able to sign the lease that same week and move in a few weeks later. Management and maintenance were always on top of everything too, for a very reasonable price of living in a big city. We highly recommend the Glen to anyone moving to Philly!
