Kings Manor Apartment Homes

Decent place to live as a student. It's 10 minutes from downtown Harrisburg, 20 minutes from Carlisle, 30-35 minutes from Lancaster, and 2 minutes from Widener Law if you go there. Maintenance requests get taken care of pretty quickly, and the management company maintains the grounds really well. They also offer gigabit internet through Xfinity through an amenity fee, which is actually cheaper than getting your own plan for even half of the speed from either Verizon or Xfinity. The pool is nothing amazing, but there is a pool.

On the downside, the property is on the older side, so things will break down. However, the management company is slowly renovating units, so that may change (as well as the price for a unit). Most of the tenants are smaller families or older people, so if you fall into that bracket you'll fit right in. If not, you might feel a little out of place. That said, the parking can sometimes be a pain. When people have friends over and you get home late, you may not find a parking spot at your building and have to go to a different one.

Older apartment complex for the price, but the location is ideal.

I love it but I know a lot of Widener students hate the complex. It's geared towards low income families and I know a lot of Widener students are not used to being around low income families. I'm from a not nice neighborhood in Philly so I really like the apartment, but I probably wouldn't recommend to law students, who are typically from middle to upper class families and from nicer areas and have parents paying for their rent.
