Rivers Bend a Pet Friendly Condo Community In NE Phila Pa

By
Real Estate Agent with HomeStarr Realty RS143922A

Let's talk about Rivers Bend Condo a Pet Friendly Community in the Torresdale section of Northeast Philadelphia Pa.  It is also close to I 95  US 1 and The Pa Turnpike .You can walk to the Torresdale /Trenton Train Station which takes minutes from Center City Philadelphia and convenient to New York Trains. There is even a bus for those who rely completely on public transportation.

There are eateries such as The Three Monkey's were you can get a brew and a almost anything you would want to eat from  soup , cheese steak to a fine meal and dessert. You can also walk down the street to Wawa and buy what you need or order a hoagie or pizza use the Mac machine or purchase a lottery ticket

 

Enough let's talk about the living situation. If you have a pet no problem and no letters saying your pet is a service animal . It is pet friendly. No size restrictiction. The people walk them proudly . I was fortunate to meet this owner and this lovely Ms who was very friendly and kindly posed for a picture

There are A and B units 

"B" unit is a second floor unit and has a loft that overlooks the living-room and dining area . It has very high ceilings . There are also some "B" units that do not have a loft . The loft was an extra when they were built . There are very few units that do not have lofts . Each B unit has 2 BR  2 Full Baths  plus a Garage  and laundry which is located on the lower level  (unless  laundry was moved  extra bath was optional as was a fireplace when built)  These units are very lovely and contemporary  and vary in styles

"A" unit is first floor unit  2 BR  2 .5 bath  with a lower floor. It will either have a staircase  leading down stairs or a door with a set of stairs. I personally like the more private door with the set of stairs than the spiral staircase but it varies in taste  .  Downstairs there originally was a large jacuzzi  tub but you rarely see the tub there. Owners took it out and made it into a  lovely living space  with a washer and dryer (closeted , the heater and water heater ) and 1/2 bath also called a powder room that was in a small section the rest of the room is a large finished room . 

Some people love B units and some love A units  it is a matter of taste 

These condos  do not have amenities  like a clubhouse or pool to be maintained . They do have landscaping and snow removal  outside maintenance  like roof and siding therefore their fees are not as expensive as other condos in the area 

Now that we perked your interests lets see what is available and what they are selling for.  As of today there is one condo unit for sale and it is a B unit .

For Sale : B unit  2 BR 2 Bath 2nd floor w/cathedral ceilings + loft over looking LR ,Dining area , and Kit .LL laundry and Garage  1056 Sq' -$188 fee per mon Price per Sq $246  Year built 1987   Sales Price $259,900

There are two pending sales under contract that will close in the next two months . We may discuss when the deed is signed and the keys are exchanged but until that time they are still under contract and we are not free to discuss. Thoses that read my blog know the rules . Please check back and we will discuss  

There is a settled closed sale a B unit  a very nice sale we can use as a comparable sale that settled in September .Let's talk about it 

SOLD : B unit 2nd floor  2 BR  2Full Baths wood burning FP carpets skylights Ist floor hard wood floors .1056 Sq' Price per sq' $275 approx. Year built 1980   condo fee $187 mo  SOLD $290,000 DOM 9

All information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed. SQ means square footage of units. DOM days on the market

Hello Hannah - your insights of various Northeast Philadelphia places to live offer a lot of information.  Of course, real estate stats and news are a vital part of it but so is a flavor of the highlighted community.  Together they create an interesting and informative read.  This post about Rivers Bend underscores that.

Brian England  Many pet owners go to the expensinse of getting letters from doctors saying that their pets are emotional support  animals and live in communities where animals are not welcome

Hannah there are not many pet friendly condos around me, which makes it difficult on pet owners.

Oct 25, 2024 04:57 PM

George Souto There are not many pet friendly condo here either but many people move in with dogs anyway. They have letter saying they are emotional support animals . I also am seeing many more dogs while shopping in food stores also

Thank you Lise Howe many gated communities end up with pets anyway. People get letters and the residents dislike that they are forced to put up with dogs that many owners do not clean up after and resent the people who own them .Sad situations
