Nicest apartment I've lived in with a gym, pool, concierge. Also cannot beat the short walk to JMEC, HUP, and Presby.

Good Apt in UCity

If you want to live closer to campus, this is a great option. Domus has spacious apartments, nice amenities, free parking, and frequently runs 2-months-off promotions. As a disclaimer, most Wharton students live in Center City, so this is a bit out of the way. But it’s a short walk to all the MBA hotspots in Center City and the proximity to campus is great. If you’re looking in UCity, I’d definitely recommend Domus!

apartment is spacious with all amenities you could need in building incl. pool, parking, gym, study rooms, 24/7 concierge, and grocery store downstairs. Maintenance is fairly responsive and apartments are updated, clean and attractive. Is also a very short walk from JMEC/ PCAM

Great building, bad neighbors

Amazing apartments and excellent facilities, but it is basically a glorified college dorm, and the students who occupy the majority of the building often throw loud parties at all hours of the night. So a great place except for the noise

Domus

Most beautiful apartment building I have ever lived in. Spacious, clean, top of the line gym, outdoor pool, business center, doorman service, dry cleaning in building. Location across the street from the law school. Population in the building is definitely skewed toward undergrads, but there are some grad students here.

Very nice, too many undergrads

The apartment and its amenities are quite nice. It is also very convenient for the law school. There are, however, a ton of undergraduates who live here and who treat the building like a dorm. They often play music all night and do so with impunity (management does next to nothing to get them to stop). If you're lucky enough to not live near people like that, then this building is great. If you do live near them, then your experience will be greatly diminished.

University City Reviews

Reviewed by CHOP Pediatric Resident living at The Left Bank
University City feels very safe with so many students living in the area as well as the added presence of University security. There are plenty of restaurants and easy access to basic necessities (e.g. grocery store, pharmacy). I really like it because it makes getting to work super convenient and street parking is much more available for visitors (or if you're like me and occasionally borrow your parents' car) compared to other areas of the city. It is also very close to the Schuylkill River Trail for walking/running/biking, is a quick walk into Center City, and gives you easy access to a variety of public transportation as well as major highways.
Reviewed by Penn Carey Law Student living at Chester Hall
I love living in this neighborhood! There are a few parks nearby, and there's all kinds of great food places. I definitely try to be cautious and aware of my surroundings, but overall I feel very safe where I live. I love that I can easily walk to school and that the SEPTA trolley lines go right past my house- easy to get to center city for internships, etc.

Lately it has gotten a little noisy at night on my street, but otherwise I have few complaints about the neighborhood.
Reviewed by Drexel LeBow Student living at 4510 Springfield Ave
Living along Baltimore Ave is great - tons of small shops, restaurants, and bars. It's also really easy to get to school or center city on the trolleys. Neighborhood has all the city amenities but is way cheaper and quieter than center city.

I am in UCity, right across the street from the law school. It's quiet but it is kind of far from rittenhouse and center city. There are only a few restaurants and bars around here, but its a short uber into the city.
Reviewed by Arwa, University Of Pennsylvania Student living at Hamilton Court
University City is a bustling college town with plenty of bars, restaurants and nightlife. You don't need to go far to find whatever is you're looking for.
Reviewed by Penn Carey Law Student living at Arrive University City
For Penn students, the location is perfect, less than a five minute walk to school. There are bars, food, etc though center city offers more options.

Very close to university and law school. Good fast food options. A bit far from downtown

Nice and clean, seemingly safe, not much to do in the area though
