I have always loved renting from Academy at Drexel Court. The location is awesome, the amenities such as heat included, elevators, ramps, parking, washer and dryers, community room, gym, office manager, maintenance, spacious apartments, great appliances, handicap accessible spaces, gated, inside mailboxes, butterfly safety doors, multiple exits and a package room. We are among very friendly neighbors and has never experienced a break in or any altercations. This is a safe and friendly... environment. I love it.

Neighbors can great but some are inconsiderate to other neighbors around as far as being loud and rude early in the morning I guess we need to put up a sign like a child to be considerate to neighbors!!!!!

I can Only speak for myself. I've been a resident for almost 8 years. I feel very comfortable in my unit and can actually consider it Home. I was thinking of moving a couple times in the past out of state but lost the desire to do so because of the Homey feel of my unit at Drexel. I'm comfortable and appreciate the staff doing such a wonderful job in accommodating my/our needs.
