This apartment has been nightmarish. Air conditioning is constantly broken, causing temperatures inside my apartment to hit 82° anytime between April and October. Maintenance does the bare minimum possible even if it doesn’t fix the problem. For example, my dishwasher trips the breaker for the entire kitchen every time it starts, which is incredibly annoying. Maintenance’s solution? Don’t use the setting with hot water. Lol
Also, I had a leak in my ceiling for over a year that started to grow mold and all they did was cover it up with paint, which then filled with water (because they didn’t fix the actual leak) and popped like a bubble, splitting my ceiling open. My bike got stolen out of the garage right in front of an allegedly broken security camera and my car got broken into also in the garage, which i pay $80/month to park inside. It cost me over $2,000 to fix my car windows and replace my bike. Management offered nothing in return. I literally could not even live in my apartment over the summer because of the heat and all management did was give me a $1000 credit to make up for 4 months of full rent that I paid to have a vacant apartment while they “replaced” my AC (which later broke AGAIN). The pool on the roof is never clean, there are serious problems with roaches and other pests, the turnover with management is the worst I have ever seen, and you’re allowed to smoke inside your apartment. I have had to leave the building multiple times because the cigarette and weed smells were so strong that I couldn’t study. Also, the building is super old so the water gets shut off every 1-2 weeks for 4-8 hrs at a time so they can “repair” the pipes. Sometimes you don’t even get a warning email. There’s also not nearly enough parking for the size of the building which means you have to park far away on the street quite often.
The only good thing about Hathaway House is how thick the walls are. I almost never hear my neighbors, but I can smell them Lol
Save yourself and live somewhere else. It is not worth it.

My roommate and I love our apartment. It is super quiet with a pretty reasonable gym. School is a 15 min walk away and the Wissahickon park is like right at our backyard. All of our neighbors are retired and in their eighties or beyond and we've made friends with a lot of them! Because the building is almost an informal retirement community, it is very quiet and great for studying. Downside is that it is at a busy intersection and you can hear the cars honking. But, my roommate and I have never been able to hear each other in our respective rooms. Each apartment also has a pretty sizable balcony which is amazing.

You're on Chelten Ave so I think safety is pretty self-explanatory. Not a bad building overall, but Scully leaves something to be desired. The rent is higher than the comparable apartments surrounding it and with less amenities. Scully used to manage Alden Park across the street as well and it was clear that they were double dipping and skimming money off the top. They shredded all resident files when they left. I can only imagine what they have going on. But hey, as long as its not directly my money, go ahead.

Friendly staff, great views, close to Manayunk and Mt Airy, nice big balconies, fantastic place to live. Septa Regional rail's Chestnut Hill West line is a block away, with a quick twenty minute ride in to center city, which is really really convenient.

What's great about Hathaway is that there is a pool on the roof and every apartment has a nice HUGE balcony. They do a fantastic job with maintenance and the staff is nice. It's not cheap to live here but it's not too expensive. I really like it here
