Spacious apartments, building itself does not have the best amenities

For the price it’s phenomenal. Modern, Clean, parking out back.

good bang for your buck; social apartment building but no issues with noise. amenities and management subpar

Management is pretty responsive to issues. The apartments are very spacious compared to nearby buildings, however, it is a bit of an older building. The amenities are poor, the gym has the very basic, there is no printer or common space; at least we have 24/7 security/reception. The location is great, lots of restaurants and places to go, plus transportation is nearby.

It's a dorm

Value Aprtment

Very spacious apartments with great lighting. Utility cost too high.

I love my apartment! Very affordable and high-quality for a one bedroom at this price point. The building's amenities are somewhat limited relative to others, but the gym and roof deck do the job in a pinch. Utilities are oddly expensive relative to other buildings, so keep that in mind when setting a rent budget for this vs. other buildings.

Great location and value. My unit isn't renovated but high ceilings and lots of space right above TJs.

Great location, front desk is nice and good to live among other students and share rides to campus. Con = gym and lack of social spaces

Poor construction quality, can clearly hear neighbors walking upstairs, irresponsible management office

In july/august, my air conditioning bill (not included in rent) can reach $300/month. Very poor ventilation system, and the A/C is somehow linked between units- when I turn on my A/C, I smell when my neighbor is smoking pot.
Beautiful space and nice gym/pool area.

Mantenance is responsive. Good management of deliveries. Building is a bit old.

I have a good space for the rent with huge floor to ceiling windows and a great view of the Philly skyline. Electric bill is large 200-250 dollars because of central AC and the sun heats up the apartment a lot but its very close to many good resturaunts, farmers market, and a trader joes across the street as well as SEPTA. If you want to workout then buy home gym equipment or go outside of the apartment gym.

Kensington is a mixed bag. The location is tremendous: you're within walking distance of Izzy's Kitchen, one of the best restaurants in the city; Buddy's, a fantastic sports bar; the Virginia Museum of History & Culture; and the VMFA. You're about a 15-minute ride to campus. You have access to a very serviceable gym and a deck with some great views of the city. But the management is poor, the mail room is a disaster, and the common areas are grimy. The apartments themselves are pretty nice, though, so if you can put up with some shoddy stairwells and are relatively self-sufficient, it's a good place to be.
