Piazza Alta

I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere before signing a lease here. The maintenance and overall service have been extremely disappointing, especially considering how expensive this place is.

My AC has broken three times in less than a year, and every time, it has taken far too long to get a response or have someone actually come out and fix the issue. For the price we pay, basic maintenance and timely service should be the bare minimum.

The building also frequently has an unpleasant... smell, people are able to sneak into the pool area, and there is very little sense of security or control over who has access to the property.

Overall, this apartment complex is seriously overpriced for what you get. The quality of service, maintenance, and building management simply do not match the rent. I would think twice before wasting your money here. Read More

DO NOT move here! Everything you've read is legit! Management is abysmal. They never respond to address issues/complaints. They will not return your security deposit, just ghost you, which is in direct violation of Pennsylvania law. Construction is subpar, very thin walls and floors, can hear everything! Packages were always lost, had a new jacket stolen. Maintenance is incredibly slow or non responsive. Tenants were actively smoking in their apartments, management did nothing to address it.... Elevators routinely had dog urine in them. Concierge were less than helpful most times, if they were even at the desk. Looks nice but that's all a lie. Leasing agents are the only decent and honest people working there, of which management completely ties their hands from being able to help. Company is just another example of a wealthy and corrupt organization taking advantage of their clients to become more rich. Read More

Piazza Alta looks amazing when you tour it, but the reality is completely different once you move in. Management treats you extremely poorly and disappears as soon as the lease is signed. They ignore emails, phone calls, and any attempt to get help, all while collecting rent every month. Everything they promised during the tour (from free parking to working amenities) falls apart immediately. The “free parking” they guarantee never happens, and when you ask about it, they come up with excuses or... change their story entirely.

The amenities are one of the biggest letdowns. The Cove jacuzzi has been broken for months, both steam rooms in the men’s and women’s spa haven’t produced steam in over half a year, and the gym’s high-end machines aren’t even logged in or usable. The pools are another disaster, there’s often a greasy film floating on the water, making it disgusting to swim in. I’m not sure they’re ever cleaned properly.

The environment at the pool feels unsafe at times. It’s not unusual to see drunk people harassing others with no intervention from staff. The person at the front desk who checks bracelets is extremely rude, which just adds to the unwelcoming atmosphere.

Other residents online share the same frustrations—long delays in fixing broken amenities, no follow-up from management, and an overall sense that the staff only care about bringing in new tenants, not maintaining the place for the people who already live here. Shared spaces often become overcrowded, yet strict guest restrictions do nothing to improve safety or cleanliness.

Piazza Alta sells itself as a luxury community with world-class amenities, but in reality, it’s a poorly managed, neglected property where tenant concerns are ignored. If you’re thinking about living here, be prepared for broken promises, unresponsive management, and amenities that exist only in the brochure. Read More

I actually hate living here - it feels like a dorm (you can hear conversations between your neighbor) and it is extremely poorly constructed. Also, the management is terrible and will completely ignore any requests you have. If something is broken be prepared to have it stay that for the rest of your time there.

I've been a resident at the Piazza Alta for 2 years since the building opened and honestly I've had an amazing experience. In my opinion, the Alta property is truly the most beautiful property in Philadelphia. You get all of the pros of living in the city (great location, super walkable, restaurants near by, community, etc), without any of the cons (there is a parking garage, amazing fitness center, huge pool, etc). It is a higher price point but I truly feel like they deliver on quality, and... it's worth every penny. You will not regret moving here! Read More
