Sherman Mills

In my experience living in various neighborhoods around the city East Falls and Sherman Mills are vastly under rated.
In search of more living space, parking, easy access to center city, access to suburbs, outdoor space, and much more we landed in East Falls. It’s location along the Schuylkill is uncanny. You can bike, bus, train, or drive to center city in minutes. If you enjoy some time in the woods, the Wissahicken actually borders East Falls. No other location in the city provides this type of quick access to so many key locations.
Mark Sherman saw opportunity when he stumbled upon an empty textile mill years ago. He quickly began developing it as a mixed use space. The mills offers large multi bedroom luxury apartments to efficient loft style units and everything in between. All the living spaces offer something unique such as a patio, skylight, jacuzzi, and much more. There is something for every budget and the attention to detail is evident throughout.
In addition to living space, there is retail, office, and art studio space available. Have I mentioned parking yet? I don’t know of a single building in Philadelphia that offers FREE parking. Washer and dryers are in many of the larger units and FREE laundry is available in several of the buildings. I hope the value proposition is becoming clear.
Other amenities include a FREE gym, air conditioning, and FREE external storage in many units. There is a fenced in dog park and pets are allowed in most of the units.
Mark Sherman’s staff is personable and responsive. Again, most other large buildings in the city are corporate owned and it can be very difficult to resolve problems quickly. Mark Sherman has personally assisted us throughout our stay at Sherman Mills. Again, good luck finding the proprietor of other dwellings around the city.
If you are looking for a unique place with access to everything Philadelphia has to offer look no further. Sherman Mills has it all.

It’s unfortunate that I have to write this review.
While living at Sherman Mills, the staff was responsive enough to give my wife and I the impression that they cared about maintaining a reasonable home for us. Even in the midst of them violating our lease agreement for 90+ days, we worked with them as best we could to assist in a transition.
The moment we moved out, however, all of that changed. In the end, Mark Sherman, Diane Eisenhower, and Sherman Properties flat out STOLE our $ 1,850 security deposit. (Mind you, not a single item in the apartment was cleaned or replaced) In doing so, they merely added to the list of PA laws that they’ve collectively broken at our expense over the past 6 – 8 months. They understood that going to court for us would be difficult as we now live in another state, and they used that knowledge to roll the dice on «another happy customer».
My advice: don’t ever engage in any kind of business with Mark Sherman or Diane Eisenhower — or any organization that is foolish enough to be affiliated with either of them.
