We are VERY happy here. We have a young child and the atmosphere is great for families. Very secure and amenities are good for us, although some city buildings have superior pools and gyms. We like having a car here and it's included in price and right outside our door. Green space great for kids.

Pros: Naval square is a very family friendly place. Also, it is easy to bike/walk/take a bus to school from this place. The apartment is spacious and community is very pretty.

Cons: Won't find many classmates walking with you from home or campus. Might be difficult to find UBER pool with Wharton students.

Naval Square is the place to live if you have a family. There are always kids running around in the expansive front lawn, which means you get to meet lots of great people from Wharton outside your cluster AND people from outside the Wharton bubble. It's a little bit higher in price than other places but we've found it's very much worth it.

This is probably the best housing option in the whole of Philadelphia for families and pet owners.

You get the best of both worlds - suburban feel with city access

While many feel Naval Square is best suited for families, as a single dude I have loved my experience there. Rent is cheap, amenities are amazing, and I am a $3.70 Uber pool or short walk from Rittenhouse. My daily commute to school is only 5 minutes by bike, and with the expected completion of the Children's Hospital in the Spring of 2017, the area will continue to develop and grow.

This beautiful, luxurious, modern gated community gives you numerous amenities including a large pool, state-of-the-art gym, and condominiums that friends and family say "look like hotels." Proximity to HUP/CHOP/PENN is a huge draw for me, and you are surrounded by plenty of other young professionals and their families throughout the complex. The large front lawn is also a great place to play sports with friends, play with your pets, or bring your children to meet the others within the community.

Excellent for University of Pennsylvania graduate students. Just a quick saunter across the bridge to get the school. The apartments are very nice, though a bit on the more expensive side for center city. The area is very safe (with gates) but it is 15 min walk or so to most of the downtown restaurants and hip areas. Management is can be a bit heavy handed with the regulations, but overall it is very worth it. Parking included is also excellent (and you can rent it out if you don't need it!)

Condos come with deeded parking spots and you can't really beat the location.

Excellent for families and pets! You will not find a better value. Extremely safe!

Naval Square is a great place to live, especially for families with young children, and/or pets. There's a true sense of community and we've made friends with countless neighbors. We feel very safe and love having a large yard to hang out in. It's somewhat expensive, but it's worth it for the perks- i.e. gym, pool, yard, gate, parking.
