Residents of Quaker Court at University City rate location (5.0) and amenities and shared spaces (5.0) highest and management (4.0) lowest.
Residents appreciate the property's convenient location near universities, well-maintained building condition, spacious units, and responsive maintenance service.

Overall satisfaction appears heavily dependent on which management team or individual staff member handles a resident's needs.
