	Walnut Square 201 South 13th St. Philadelphia,  Pa 19107 Rating Recommend:    No Overall Rating:  3.0 Security:  2.0 Parking:  1.0 Appearance:  3.0 Management:  3.0 Maintenance:  2.0 Unit Condition:   3.0 Noise:  3.0		Review Title:  Affordable . . .but . . . Reviewer:  Anonymous   Review Date:  3/5/04      Rate This Apartment     Walnut Square is a great building but poorly managed and cared for.My apt. is great, spaceious and fairly modern.However, this is not typical of all units in this building.The biggest drawback to living here are the old and often scary elevators (frequently being repaired).Rent is pretty cheap and if you can live on the 2nd floor you'd be lucky enough not to have to use the elevators.Maintenance requests are handled fairly quickly by building staff.The ever present posse of people sitting on the front steps can be annoying, especially in the warmer months.These folks seem to ALWAYS be there and rarely move to let you in the door.This may deter single female and older folks from wanting to live here, but generally the folks on the steps are locals and cause littel problems.Street noise can also be a problem here if you don't live high enough.Wooody's (the gay epicenter of Philly) is just across the street and drunk boys are often loud and messy when the bar shuts down (no matter what day of the week).A good value, but be prepared for these issues.
