La Maison Apartments

Overall, I have had a great experience at La Maison. The rent is fairly high, and I still have Internet, electricity and cable/streaming to pay for. There are not a ton of amenities either. However, management and maintenance have always been kind, helpful, and responsive. I have only had a couple minor maintenance issues that were resolved the next day. I have had zero pest issues. I have full control of the temperature in my apartment. The apartment is fairly large at about 850 square feet. The exterior and landscaping is fairly well maintained. The location is safe and quiet. The complex is across the street from a small shopping and business area and a couple blocks from a SEPTA Regional Rail station. Although I have to pay quite a bit, the peace of mind from rarely having any issues has been worth it to me.

Pros:
- Property is super well kept
- Maintenance staff responds super quickly to requests
- Very quiet neighborhood and building.
- Pet-friendly units (only some units allow dogs though)
- Renovated option vs. less expensive option.
- Super friendly and accommodating staff.
- Trash, Heat/Gas, Water, and Parking is included in rent price.
- Pretty affordable for single unit and very spacious for the price.
- Not directly on Lancaster Ave (not as noisy and heavy traffic area is not as much of a concern).
- Acme, Target, and Wawa right across the street (super convenient)
- Only a 12 minute drive to the law school.
- Private membership-only gym on the property owned by the same landlord as the apartment buildings.
- Walking trail entrance right by the complex.
- Other tenets are very friendly (some are even older Villanova law alums!)
- Updated temperature control system that allows each individual unit to control the temperature of the unit.

Cons:
- It is a bit of a walk (15-20 mins) to get to downtown Wayne area... overall, not a super walkable area.
- Not a super lot of storage in the 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom floor plans.
- Sliding door to the balcony area of the units is prone to letting bugs in.

I love living here and am anxious to move anywhere else. The property is well kept, maintenance has come quickly and fixed any issues promptly. The apartment is spacious and quiet.
