Simon Silk Mill - Easton (PA)

2 /5 J Biccari: Paper thin walls. You’ll hear every conversation from neighbors. A huge privacy issue. Couldn’t sleep from noisy street traffic. Frightening police raid in my building in the middle of the night. Loud construction during the day. Some buildings have secure entrances and some don’t. Mine didn’t. This was an issue for me. The worst was having no designated parking spaces for tenants. Paying high rental prices, and not getting a good quality of life, is unacceptable. I was towed along with many others for not being in a proper parking space, because some nights after waiting over 35 minutes for one.. I gave up. Restaurant bar customers filled the parking lot in the evenings. It cost $400 to get my car back from the tow yard, and I had to go through the stress of having the tow company yell at me on the phone demanding cash only, non-negotiable. It took 3 days to get my car back. This was AFTER I had brought these issues to the office for many months, along with other tenants, and we were told that since they were under construction we had to deal with it. Then during the pandemic, they offered no lenience. Needless to say, I broke the lease. (Maintenance was friendly when needed)

5 /5 Kathryn Ford: A MUST visit if you are in Easton about 30 businesses on site. Something for everyone, from bridal, health, sweets, good food to wine and brews. Just wonderful place to walk around and soak in the beauty of the buildings and the charming businesses located within.

5 /5 Kate Clark: i love living here. the apartment is gorgeous and well worth the money in my opinion. these reviews are not it. you are moving to a historical building, you should expect thin walls / to be able to hear your neighbor. also - they are very up front about parking during a tour. i haven’t had an issue finding parking somewhere on the grounds, although sometimes i have to walk farther than i’d like. if you want a designated spot you can pay the monthly fee, although i choose not to. i love the access to all the shops / restaurants and the gym here is gorgeous. highly recommend!

2 /5 Slack Atadbit: The largest issue with living here is parking. The surrounding shops & restaurants may seem nice, but there is no dedicated parking for us paying tenants. Customers of the brewery, winery, bridal shop, distillery, cafe, etc. take up most of the parking and tenants are forced to walk long distances to their buildings. Many, many tenants and/or visitors end up parking illegally (with no repercussion). The lack of parking must be by design as VM reality charges over $100/month for a reserved spot. The units are visually appealing. However, as other reviews state the walls are quite thin and you can easily hear all of your neighbors. That, and there are MANY tenants currently with pets that, when unattended throughout the day, constantly make loud noise. The property manager has even stated there have been numerous noise complaints in my building due to pets, yet nothing has changed. The in-house maintenance team seems great. If theres an issue they can fix, they are speedy! Alas, more times than not, issues must be outsourced to appliance companies who take upwards of a month to fix an issue. That said..there shouldnt be any issues to begin with. The living experience is definitely not worth the price. I urge anyone reading to avoid renting here. If I havent swayed you, be sure to at the very least rent a top floor unit or you WILL be miserable. Every tenant Ive met agrees; the lack of parking is outrageous and pets are too noisy. Fix the parking problem and Im sure youll retain more renters.

5 /5 Erica Whitehouse: We love living at Silk, Jennifer (property manager) and Todd (maintenance manager) are wonderful and very attentive to all of our needs!! Been living at the property since the beginning of development and the apartments are gorgeous! We recently decided to move to a different unit in the complex and are thrilled with the difference in all units. Due to the buildings being historic there is definitely noise between units at times, but that’s what you get when living in any apartment. We love it here, definitely would recommend to perspective tenants looking for a “city vibe.” Many great businesses and business owners and ice cream place is an absolute PLUS! We love it here, thanks for an amazing experience with living!
