My partner and I have lived in this apartment since we arrived in Philly five years ago. We love it. Clean building and fast responding maintenance. Walkable to center city but far enough out that it's not loud or too busy. Walkable to Drexel (about 30 minutes). Walkable to 30th St. station. Lots of public transportation options. Restaurants and bars in the neighborhood.

Fully updated, 2 bedroom apartments in an old school building. Stainless steel kitchen, bathroom with bathtub, central heat and air included in the rent.

Only utilities you need to pay for are electricity and you’ll need to buy your own internet service.

A little on the pricey side so best to go in with 3 or 4 people (we’re a group of 3).

We live in one of the basement units which are a little cheaper. Windows are pretty huge for a basement unit. Only downside to that is one of the bedrooms doesn’t have windows.

About a 25 minute walk to Terra and 20 to Hamilton and Anderson. A bit of a hike, but a really pretty walk up 20th street and either over on Pine or cut through Rittenhouse.

The apartment is very nice (modern, clean, fully functional) and reasonably priced. It is a little far from school (about a 20-25 minute walk) but close to grocery and pet stores. Parking is very bad in this neighborhood and the building only has a very small, expensive lot so I would not recommend it for people with cars. The neighborhood is otherwise very friendly and safe. The property management here, especially the maintenance, is not always the best- we have had to deal with burst pipes/flooding, broken appliances, and no hot water multiple times and were often not fully satisfied with the management’s responses, but the situation is not so bad we can’t live with it.

Very nice, spacious apartment with crazy high ceilings. Brand new updated kitchen and good sized bathroom with tub.

Cats and small dogs allowed! One “pet deposit” when you first move in and nothing after that.
Basement unit has HUGE windows, barely feels like a basement at all.

Electricity and internet not included in rent, but electricity is relatively cheap split between 3 roommates (each of us usually pays between $15-25 a month depending on what electricity we use) considering electricity price covers: hot water, lights, heat, and air conditioning, and all electrical outlets.

Small hiccups: there was a flood in our unit several weeks ago, and unfortunately repairs and maintenance did take longer than we would have liked. However building covered all repair expenses and refunded our electricity difference that month. I also have not seen any of these types of disasters coming from other units, so it’s a rare occurance :)
