Application Requirements: All applications are evaluated using consistent screening criteria, including credit history, income, overall financial profile, rental history, and other relevant factors. Combined household income may be considered, provided all occupants over the age of 18 who will reside in the home complete an application and are included on the lease. As part of the screening process, applicants will undergo a credit report, criminal background check, and eviction history search. While every application is reviewed individually and, in its entirety, a credit score of approximately 650 or higher and verifiable gross household income of approximately 2.5 times the monthly rent are typical qualifying benchmarks. Meeting these benchmarks does not guarantee approval, as all aspects of the application are considered. NO SMOKING and NO PETS

About Drexel Park
Gardens
Drexel Park Gardens, located between Garrett Road and State Road, is a residential and commuter-friendly Drexel Hill neighborhood with stone-and-brick twins and leafy, sidewalk-lined blocks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Garrett Road corridor near Township Line Road, where corner delis, salons, and long-running takeout counters set a steady, lived-in rhythm. Streets show early-20th-century details—front porches, bay windows, and small garden plots—paired with a practical, walkable layout. Drexel Park’s ballfields and open lawns give the area a clear outdoor anchor. For culture and a night-out loop, Upper Darby Performing Arts Center and Tower Theater sit nearby, along with the 69th Street Terminal’s constant transit pulse. The feel is grounded and local, with daily errands and regional connections sharing the same map.
