Hidden fees and unresponsive management

Management place fees outside of the agreed upon rent inside your bill and it’s very difficult to get a hold of them. They also don’t respond to maintenance requests, items stay broken and sanitation is an issue, pest infestation

Far too Expensive

The property managers and leasing office are extremely nice and helpful. When issues arise they are quick to respond and very friendly. However, the rent spiked this year and is absolutely absurd for what the building/space is.

Important to be close to the school. I do not have a car, so being close to the university and classes was important to me.

3737 Chestnut

This is such an amazing apartment. It is a 10 minute walk from the dental school and so many dental students live here. The rooms are very nice and are lined with windows so there is a lot of sunlight. There is a gym, study rooms, and a rooftop. All of the people who work here are very nice and can help you with anything.

Perfect Apartment If In Your Price Range

Extremely nice apartment with floor-to-ceiling windows, in-unit laundry, stone countertops, walk-in closet, spacious kitchen storage, amazing views, and easy access to septa that takes you throughout the city. My only qualm about the gym is that it doesn't have a free-weight bench, but it does have a smith machine and is almost always empty! You really can't get better than this! If desiring an apartment in university city close to campus, I would look no farther. However, I think the niceness can be excessive and you can find apartments for half the price elsewhere.

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.
Reviewed by Penn Carey Law Student living at Domus
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.
Reviewed by Penn Carey Law Student living at Chestnut Hall
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
