Polo Run – A Fact-Based Assessment for Student Renters
This review provides a neutral, data-driven look at Polo Run, a residential community located at Yardley, PA 19067, about a 30-minute drive from Philadelphia. It is currently the only property listed on our platform in the Philadelphia area. The information below is based on verified guest ratings, resident reviews, and pricing data. All prices are indicative and should be confirmed directly with the operator.
Who This Residence Suits (and Who It Doesn’t)
Polo Run works best for renters who prioritise space, quiet surroundings, and on-site amenities over urban walkability. The complex is situated in Yardley, a suburban township with a small-town feel, making it suitable for those who have access to a car or are willing to commute.
Suits:
- Students at local universities (e.g., University of Pennsylvania, Temple, or Drexel) who are looking for a quieter living environment and don’t mind a 30–40 minute drive or public transport commute.
- Pet owners: the complex includes a dedicated dog park, and multiple reviews praise the pet-friendly atmosphere.
- Residents who value recreational facilities: a resort-style pool, fitness centre, and scenic views are available on-site.
- Those seeking longer lease flexibility: minimum lease is 6 months, which can accommodate summer stays or semester-based arrangements.
Does not suit:
- Students who need to be within walking distance of campus or public transit hubs. Yardley is car-dependent.
- Budget-conscious renters looking for a room under $1,000 per month: the lowest-priced unit starts at $1,957/month (indicative).
- Anyone seeking short-term stays under 6 months. Shorter leases are not offered.
The community appears to be primarily residential with a mix of families and working professionals. Three recent Google reviews (detailed below) all mention a quiet, well-maintained environment, which supports the idea that Polo Run is not a party-heavy complex.
What Residents Actually Say
Three Google reviews (as of the data date) offer direct insight:
Alexander (5 stars, 14 months residence):
“I’ve lived in Polo Run for about 14 months and it has been great. This apartment complex offers reasonable pricing, plenty of parking, great amenities (like a dog park, pool, gym, and scenic views), along with wonderful neighbors who create a welcoming community. The staff is friendly, responsive, and supportive.”
Sean Carpenter (5 stars, initial visit):
“We went for an initial visit on Saturday. We met with Stephanie. She was an absolute pleasure to work with! She’s very patient and friendly. She showed us three different units (large, medium and small) the apartments were all beautiful. The grounds were very well kept and the community is quiet. Perfect place!”
HyeMin Kim (5 stars, 5 months residence):
“I have been a resident here for 5 months now and I must say that this is a safest; a great community to live. The management team is ALWAYS ALWAYS so nice and helpful to every single questions and assistance. Dante and Stephanie are so great. Along with the maintenance team, they are very quick to every requests.”
All three reviewers highlight positive staff interactions, well-maintained grounds, and a quiet, safe atmosphere. No negative reviews were included in the dataset, but the overall Google rating of 4.3 (based on 168 reviews) suggests a generally satisfied resident base.
Price Positioning vs Philadelphia Area
The platform’s data shows that Polo Run’s minimum price is $1,957 per month (indicative). This is identical to the “city from‑price” figure for Philadelphia ($1,957). In other words, Polo Run is the only listing in our platform for Philadelphia, so its starting price effectively sets the market floor for the area.
- Minimum price: $1,957/month (indicative – confirm with operator)
- Maximum price: $4,741/month (indicative)
- Price duration: monthly
Given that $1,957 is on the higher end for a single room in a shared student context (typical off‑campus rooms in Philadelphia can range from $800–$1,400), Polo Run is priced as a premium suburban complex. The price reflects the amenities (pool, gym, dog park) and the larger apartment floor plans (see next section). Renters should budget accordingly.
Room Type Guidance
Three unit types are available: 1‑bedroom, 2‑bedroom, and “apartment” (likely a one‑bedroom or studio – confirm with operator). No studio or shared‑room options are listed.
- 1‑bedroom: likely the cheapest option, starting near $1,957/month. Suitable for singles or couples who want a private bedroom and living area.
- 2‑bedroom: could be a two‑bedroom, one‑bath or two‑bath layout. If shared between two people, the per‑person cost might be around $1,000–$1,200 (assuming a total rent of $2,000–$2,400). However, official per‑person pricing is not provided; tenants would need to arrange a joint lease.
- Apartment: this generic label may include studio or one‑bedroom configurations. Confirm layout and square footage with the leasing office.
Residents should consider that floor plans vary in size (Sean Carpenter’s review mentions “large, medium and small” units). It is advisable to visit or request floor plans before signing.
Booking Timing
- Minimum lease: 6 months.
- Available from: not specified (the data field is null). In practice, availability fluctuates. For best results, start inquiries 2–3 months before your desired move‑in date.
- Given that the property has a Google rating of 4.3 and only one listing appears in our platform, demand may be moderate. However, because the complex is outside the city centre, availability might be higher than for centrally located apartments.
- If you plan to secure a unit for the fall 2026 semester, beginning your search in April–May 2026 is reasonable.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Polo Run from the University of Pennsylvania?
Yardley is approximately 30 miles (48 km) northeast of Philadelphia. Driving time is about 35–50 minutes depending on traffic. Public transport options include SEPTA regional rail from Yardley station (walking distance not guaranteed) or a bus connection. It is not within convenient walking or biking distance of campus.
Are utilities included in the rent?
The dataset does not specify whether utilities are included. Most comparable suburban apartment complexes charge rent separately from electricity, water, and internet. You should confirm this directly with the Polo Run leasing team during your inquiry.
Can I get a 12-month lease?
The minimum lease term is 6 months. A 12-month lease is very likely available (most complexes offer standard 12-month terms). However, because no maximum lease length is listed, verify with the operator. Shorter leases (7–11 months) may also be possible at a premium.
