I am staying at this place for 2 months now. The inside of apartment is renovated recently. Easy access to nearby stores. There's parking place available. The common passage isn't up to the mark and often smells a little. ( maybe a pet smell).

      Since moving in less than a month ago, I've been nothing less than please with top of the hill apartments and have recommended my acquaintances to consider the property if they are getting employment in the surrounding area. It is very nice here.

          I lived here for close to 2 years, and I have mostly nice things to say about this community and neighbors and the management. Rent is little bit on expensive side compared to other apartments within Wilmington-Newark area, but the good location; nice and well-maintained apartments and good service compensates for that. -> Location: Close to grocery stores, Concord mall, pharmacies, gas stations, schools, some corporate office, state park, Philly Airport, and most importantly I-95 exits. -> Community: People from many backgrounds (race, nationalities) live here without any issue. I am from India, and my family and I found many nice people here who became close friends to us. Management organizes various events throughout the year like Summer pool party, Halloween, Breakfast day, etc, and invites everyone to participate. -> Amenities: It has enough parking space (at least on Cloister Road), trash dumpsters, play-area for kids, tennis court (disappointed that it is very bad conditions, but serves as an extended play-area for kids and adults on positive side), a small gym, a swimming pool (open during summer only - of course). -> Management: Nice and courteous admin staff (Dawn M & Kerlene B); prompt maintenance service; Always had issues fixed within a day or too. -> Moving In/Out: Never had any problem while moving in and out. It was my first time in US when I moved in 2014, and I was little anxious when I moved-in, but the entire application and moving-in process was quick and easy. When I moved out in 2016, got my deposit refunded by a check within 4 weeks. Overall, I was happy with my stay at Top of the Hill, if I return to Wilminton, I will not think twice to rent here.

            Everything is perfect and expected level. All the process and information sharing were smooth and staffs were answered all the questions and clarifications. I will refer this community to my friends. Easy I95 access is really good advantage to me.

                  It's a beautiful community, and I can see it will be even more beautiful in the summer when the trees turn green. I like how closed it is to work and the floor plan I got - a separate kitchen with a window rather one open to the living room. In general, I like my new place.

                    Top of the Hill has been a great experience so far and I intend on being very happy here. First of all, the move in process was very easy. I was able to get a very fair security deposit and I got a rental quote at a good time. Great value and location for a clean apartment. I have a modern kitchen and bathroom, spacious floor plan, and a balcony with a view of the river.

                        The office staff and workers are polite, friendly and do a good job. Work requests are done quickly and correctly. I have never had to have any worker return because a job was not done correctly. There are several supermarkets and stores near the apartment complex.

                            The parking situation is really horrible. Every thing else regarding maintenance and the noise levels are great. The parking situation is forcing me to consider moving when my lease expires, which I really don't want to move-- unfortunately!!

                                    Just moved in so cannot really comment too far. The grounds are very well kept. Am excited to use the pool and grill in the upcoming summer. The staff was very helpful while preparing to move in with making sure all of my questions were answered.

                                      Area is normally quiet, neighbors are "mind your business" type or maybe the diverse ethnicity causes people to keep to themselves. They allow dogs and pets which is a plus, but do not use pet friendly products (winter - salt). Typical apartment parking, rules not a geared to. Alot of letters threatening things although nobody seems to be held accountable. It's not a bad place to live but it's not great either.

                                          I stayed here for a year and found this community very good. Though apartments are old but they are in good condition. All the office staff and maintenance staff were very helpful prompt in fixing any issues which we had reported during our stay. The community is kept neat and clean by staff.I loved all the events like pool party, back to school party for kids etc organized by the staff. My overall stay in Top Of The Hill Apartment was very pleasant. I would definitely recommend this community.

Top of the hill is definitely the place to STOP, LOOK & LEASE
