Default Oh, honey...

I can tell you stories about the heat and the noise. Basically the train squeals around both sets of tracks and some people complain about neighbor noise through the walls, but the big issue is the HVAC units in the Ambers. The heating system was either poorly designed or poorly installed or a little of both. It blows air, but by the time it reaches the downstairs room (office, den, bedroom) it is cold air. There is some variation, but people have recorded between 8-18 degrees difference in temperature between the floors. The units in East Falls have a different HVAC setup, but I haven't heard anything from the handful of owners there yet. The newer units here have been fitted with electric baseboard downstairs, so you end up with a hybrid heating system. That was the fix offered to the rest of us as well.

I've seen rent running from about 1500-2100 depending on the unit.
