Hidden gem
I love 640. Apartments are huge for the money. Good access to the city with the broad line a block or two away. Apartments and grounds are clean and gated. Parking is 150/month and in a private attached garage which is great. Good access to spring garden/fairmount areas with lots of restaurants. Exactly 1 mile to the river trail and the walk there is through very nice neighborhoods. The area of north broad it’s on is getting rapidly developed too. The attached gym isn’t huge but is good. There’s plenty in the area if you want more. Packages are handled by the 24/7 lobby attendant which has been a good experience. They are nice and helpful. Maintenance is very quick also.
Only downside is not being super close to campus. The subway takes 15-30 depending on the day but isn’t bad. I’ve taken it between 6:30am-8pm without issue but can’t speak beyond that.
It doesn’t get advertised enough but the south facing units have incredible views of the city. Probably starts around 4th floor and only gets better.

Spacious Loft Apt
I live in a 1 bed/1 bath loft set up that is 917 sq feet. Very spacious floor plan. Kitchen has nice appliances with plenty of cabinet space. Kitchen has an island. My apt has huge windows that allow plenty of natural light. Washer and dryer in the bathroom that has plenty of counter space. Nice size bedroom. Have a queen size bed, desk and dresser with space still. Plenty of closet space.

lofts 640
Only moved here a few months ago but I am really enjoying it so far. I am getting a lot more for my money than I was previously in Center City (gym, pool & hot tub, larger apartment, updated kitchen dishwasher, free in-unit laundry, central air/heat). I have especially found dishwasher/laundry to be a massive game-changer in terms of convenience! It seems like a little thing but when you're super busy it's just way better. The floor plans are all pretty big and open with multiple closets. The gym and pool aren't that big or luxurious but have everything you need and I've never seen them crowded. There is also a small roofdeck with chairs. The building is very quiet, and still on the BSL. I haven't done any maintenance requests yet, so I can't speak to that, but I've found the leasing office and front desk staff to be very responsive and helpful. Only downsides so far are that I live facing north on one of the lower floors and there isn't a lot of natural light.

Great location, great price
Living in the complex has been great, with everything that is included in the rent and the location as well as responsive management I have virtually no complaints!

Ok place with great ceilings and spacious, but lousy management
Lofts 640 is one of the few places in Philly with covered parking built-in that is still affordable and close to Center City. I love the location, and the lofts style, but management could be better, friendlier, and more available. And they need to replace the carpets!

Great management and amenities
We have lived here for 2 years and love it. The front desk people are great, and take the time to know everyone in the building. The amenities are fantastic - pool and gym are never busy, at times it's almost like having your own private pool. The maintenance requests were always responded to quickly. The aesthetic is very modern (all lofts). I felt that it was well worth the price.

Mixed bag but pretty good overall
The building included a lot of amenities, which were useful. Apart from the couple of restaurants right next to it, it's a short walk to the Fairmount neighborhood, and a more substantial trip down to Center City and the rest of the action in Philadelphia. Maintenance response was good, but some of our problems took months to be resolved. From speaking to others around the building, it seems a bunch of units had problems with their electricity bills, which were always very high for everyone. The front desk is very helpful to have, depending on who's working. Overall, it had everything I needed and I enjoyed living there, so long as the bar wasn't set too high. If I had to do it again, I would do it for a slightly lower rent.

Good value
Big place around 900-1000 sq feet with good amenities and included parking which is huge. Decent neighborhood but not the best. Very close to Chinatown and walkable to museum area and center city. Bad thing is they are very strict about no pets. Door to door to cooper is probably around 20 minutes

Safe area and great location
Lofts 640 is a great apartment building with parking (included in rent!) and a gym on site.

Great apartment building in fun neighborhood
I love the amenities that come with this building and reduced cable/internet discount. The gym and swimming pool are enough for my needs and great rooftop for a change of scenery. Alla Spina is right across the street and Fairmount Ave hosts a bunch of great bars and restaurants. Only gripe is I do wish the building was dog friendly.

Fairmount Reviews
Cons: be careful and use common sense walking around Girard and Broad at night - some blocks are sketchier than others
