Older building but great space

A lot of space for an affordable price. It's an older building so there are occasionally maintenance issues, but the management is responsive in getting them fixed. Nice area and feels very safe.

Nothing comparable to price for what you get - But old building

The amount of space we get for just over $900 each is nuts. Huge bedrooms, great common space, two bathrooms. We also have a gym in the basement and 24 hour security at the desk. It's also in a phenomenal location, by the Art Museum, Whole Foods.

However, it's a very old building. Very common to get an email telling us power will be out for a few hours or there will be a water outage. We can hear our neighbors upstairs pretty well.

Better opportunities elsewhere...

Great rooftop, nice gym and recreation center, but an old building with roaches (as is the case for most rental residences in a big city) and too many maintenance issues.

Good Apartment

Parkway House is overall a good place to live. The amenities and finishes are nice and there’s plenty of space in the apartments. However, it’s a walk to campus and the management could be better.

great locatiion

The apartment has a great location across the street from whole foods and CVS, very close to Fairmount restaurants and bars and the Art Museum, walkable to center city, longer walk to University City but still doable (when you're not carrying your constitutional law book).
The building is pet-friendly, has a gym in the basement, and a great roof deck.
The management company is not so great though. The building is desperately in need of renovations, the gym is never clean, machines are not wiped down ever, and the carpets are very dirty. Management response is slow and minimal, never completing the job in one shot or communicative about when things may be fixed.

Great Location!

I've been a resident for about two years now. The location is second to none and I really love being close to Center City but still somewhat removed. Plenty of on street parking but things may change with luxury apartment building across the street opening. Building's demographics lean towards middle aged renters and might not be most attractive for young professionals.

Great apartment

Parkway Apartments are beautiful and are in a great location. Very close to many bars and restaurants. The bus stop is a block away which takes you right into center city. The neighbors are all very friendly and pleasant. There are restaurants and a grocery store right below us for maximum convenience.

Awesome location!

I love the location of this apartment. It is close to a Whole Foods, the library, parks, the museums district, Fairmount, and the city. I love being able to walk to work and not having to take public transportation. The fact that they allow dogs is awesome because I love animals and finding a place that allows pets is hard to come by in a great neighborhood in Philly.

Overall great place

Great, safe apartment. Location is easily accessible to Center City. Have some complaints about the amount of space, but overall very satisfied. Great rooftop deck. You're right on the parkway, so you're often dealing with parking that is hard to find, but otherwise the location is well-served to restaurants and bars. Great place, though rent is a bit high for the space size.

Fairmount Reviews

53 reviews
Very quaint, quiet neighborhood. Hear some kids in the morning playing in the street in the summer but that's about it. Lots of people walking dogs. The kind of people who will shovel your sidewalk when it snows without you asking. Really great crowd around here with good parks, I have always felt safe with the exception of a few areas north of where I live.
I couldn’t love my neighborhood more! Close to center city but outside the hustle. Next to the art museums and park. Wonderful neighbors, great local businesses, and a strong sense of community.
Love my neighborhood, its a bit quiet but still has tons of places to eat and drink.
When I first moved to Philadelphia (from out of state) I lived in a building in Center City because I wanted the central location closer to non-school activities and thought it might be safer. Now that I've moved, I vastly prefer Fairmount/Spring Garden. CC, especially where I lived, was very loud. Groceries can be a bit of a pain because I don't have a car (although this is improved now that there is a new Trader Joe's ~5 blocks away on Arch and a new CVS at Spring Garden!) I think it is about pretty much as safe as CC - fewer people around, which can go either way, but more residential and in a really beautiful area especially west of Broad St. Compared to CC there isn't quite as much to do, but there are still some bars and restaurants and there are relatively close coffee shops to study at if that's your thing. Lots of other students live in the area as well.
Fairmount is an excellent area to live in. It is walking distance to the Schuylkill trail, great for biking to work, exercising or relaxing by the river. The area has great restaurants, easy-to-find parking and an excellent massive Whole Foods with 4 restaurants inside. It is also very easy to walk to downtown Philly (15-40 min walk for most of Center City and University City).
Pros: close-knit neighborhood where residents look out for each other and know each others' names, lots of families and students, low noise, walkable to Girard and Fairmount BSL stops, close to Fairmount Ave shops and restaurants, overall v. safe feel

Cons: be careful and use common sense walking around Girard and Broad at night - some blocks are sketchier than others
The Fairmount area is a great place to live. It is close to a lot of the city's attractions and art, and equally close to some great outdoor space. The neighborhood is generally pretty quiet, and parking is easier than in Center City. There are a lot of coffee shops, restaurants, and pubs within easy walking distance. There are a lot of neighborhood events, especially in the summer, that are great to attend. The major downfall (if you see it that way) is the city run events that happen at the art museum from time to time. These really close down the neighborhood and make parking and driving really hard. But, they are usually fun to attend or spectate.
I absolutely loves the location. Easy walk to work, good food options ranging from fine dining to late-night pizza to bars. It's close to a Whole Foods and a local family owned market called Kleins. Unfortunately, Fairmount is only assessable by bus. City Hall and 30th Street Station is a 30 minute walk away if you need to take the MFL or Regional Rail lines.
