The Metropolitan - Collingswood

I lived at the Metropolitan for about a year while living in South Jersey and I have to say that it was a phenomenal experience through and through. From the flexibility in their lease durations and very responsive and welcoming staff to the overall ease of the move in and out process, I have nothing but good things to say about the facilities. Pros: - It’s close to but not in downtown Philly and the Amtrak or Patco - You’re walking distance from the River - About 10 minutes from Cherry Hill Mall and I think 3 Planet Fitness - All staff and neighbors are extremely friendly and respectful - Very affordable - No roaches or insects - Generally no mice Cons: - There was a small period about a month where an older long time tenant was moving out and the mice he had moved in, but it was very short lived Overall: Would highly recommend to anyone looking to move to the area! It’s arguably the best find on this side of South Jersey for renting. I would definitely move back if ever in the area. *Also, if you scroll my reviews for the area you can find some really nice restaurants!

Amazing apartment experience! Perfect location tucked away near the Cooper River. If you’re looking to move to Collingswood definitely rent here!! Short walk to town, quiet and peaceful, helpful staff, even a gym. Love it here!

I moved from a less safe location in Baltimore to here to get away from crime. We have lived here for less than 3 months and have already been victims of 2 thefts, one being a bicycle and the other being our car. Our appliances are breaking which are included in what I would consider the higher end of paying rent for what we get at the Metropolitan, which is truthfully a rundown apartment complex that has no concern for their tenants. our washer and dryer are considered part of the reason why the rent here is higher and now we’ve been out of a washer and dryer for over a week, and the management will not takeoff any percentage of rent for next month even though they leased this apartment to us with very old appliances that were on the brink of breaking. There was also a gas leak last week where we couldn’t use our stove also needing to be replaced for over 24 hours. The leasing office and maintenance team at the Collingswood location are doing their best, but unfortunately the overhead management does not care at all, hence their high turnover rate for tenants. Cannot wait until our 10 month lease is up so we can move out of here. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

I can’t say enough good things about this complex. I lived in a one bedroom for 3 years. Location is great, walking distance to Cooper River, restaurants, and shops on Haddon Ave. The grounds are kept clean and well maintained. Administration always kept an open line of communication for any concerns/needs, maintenance resolved issues quickly. Never had any issues with noise. The only thing I didn’t love was the heat controlled by the complex, however this was resolved with installation of an HVAC system.

The heat is controlled by the facilities. So you’ll be real hot all winter. The wall ac units can’t keep up in the summer so you’ll be hot then too. 1 closet in living room and 1 in each bedroom they are small and useless. Washer and dryer and very under powered it seems. Storage in the kitchen is weird. The stair cases are real hot in the summer. The seals on the doors are old and don’t do a good job. Bathroom has pink tile. Parking is for Honda civics and smaller. If you park on the street you have to call it in to township. Locations fun. Spending as little time as I can inside. Moving to a more modern and affordable apartment after this lease is up. Staff is nice and maintenance keeps exterior very nice. The gym is out of date and needs to be up dated.

This place is amazing! I lived here for 2 years and I'm considering on coming back. A very nice area and friendly area.

I moved into a one-bedroom recently, and my experience has been great so far! The staff are very friendly, helpful, and quick to respond to emails. They make sure your move-in goes smoothly. Maintenance also takes care of any issues almost immediately. The apartments are bright, clean, and pest-free. I was very happy to see that it came with a dishwasher, washer, and dryer. There is also a fridge, microwave, and gas stove. The kitchen has a nice amount of storage space and counter space, and there is a front and back door with convenient tenant parking in the back. There's plenty of hot water as well. The Collingswood area is very nice. The apartments are in a quiet suburb along Cooper River, and there are plenty of restaurants, shopping, and parks nearby. It is relatively quiet, although there is a train station nearby that can be a little noisy. This is no fault of the Metropolitan however. While very minor, I should mention that the walls are made of concrete or a concrete-like substance. While not impossible, it does make hanging pictures, curtains, and decorations a bit of a challenge. This is most likely either a fire precaution or because the building is older. Again, I consider this very minor. On the plus side, the apartment is nearly sound proof!! I definitely feel like I have privacy and my own space, which is really important. I would definitely recommend it!

Lived here for a year and was very happy with it. The office staff and maintenance were always responsive and on top of requests/concerns. Friendly neighborhood. Only thing that could be improved would be more closet/storage space in the apartment. It was also a bit pricey for the size but the location to Haddon Ave and Cooper river park made up for it. Definitely would recommend.

My fiancé and I loved living at the Metropolitan Collingswood and if we did not have to relocate for our jobs, we would have definitely continued our lease! The area, apartments and neighbors are great and honestly, we miss the area very much. The only somewhat negative comment is that the buildings are older and sometimes the hallways smell of mildew, as well as some the older units do not have a garbage disposal and food gets backed up in the bottom of the dishwashers. HOWEVER, the girls in the office are both super nice and helpful - maintenance is SUPER quick and EFFICIENT in responding to requests. I once locked myself out of my apartment after a night out and maintenance came and let me in at 1:00 AM. Their online portal makes paying rent very easy and hassle free. Living at the metropolitan was very pleasant, easy and worry free. 100% RECOMMEND if you're looking for a quiet, quaint and charming apartment. :

We have found the Metropolitan a very nice place to live. This is our first experience at apartment living in many decades and we were nervous about apartment life but have been pleasantly surprised. The management is very attentive and prompt at response when needed and the staff is friendly and keep the grounds spotless. We are really quite pleased and happy to live here.
