Great building, exactly what you need. Great location. Reasonable rent. A little on the older side, but elevator, parking lot, and door PIN work great. When moving in, we noticed appliances needed some work, but so far maintenance has been responsive and helpful.
My partner and I just moved into the building approximately three months ago, and our experience has been pleasantly surprising. Unlike most buildings, the housing manager responds quickly, and the corresponding maintenance is performed promptly. Furthermore, the location is safe, quiet, and full of history. On top of that, the apartment is spacious, giving my partner ample room to work from home without feeling smothered by their work station. For the price we pay to stay here, this could only be described as a hidden gem.

I have lived here for about 7 months now and have really enjoyed this apartment! The location is unmatched, and the apartment is spacious and fits me and my partner perfectly. Being in Center City obviously comes with some cons, like the loud drivers on Walnut Street, but the proximity that we are to so many amazing restaurants, parks, and other public amenities completely outweighs the negatives. The staff are extremely helpful and kind, and the maintenance staff are quick and efficient. There are some aspects of upkeep that could be a bit better. For example, our apartment was not cleaned upon moving in, and the washer and dryer that are shared amongst everyone in the building are not great quality (my clothes always end up still wet after a drying cycle). There have been some other little things, mainly pertaining to cleanliness in the basement and upon moving in, but in all I feel this unit is worth it!

I got what I pay for and I’m happy with my choice. My apartment might lack luxuries and certain amenities but the location makes up for it. I like the fixtures, the storage space and the high ceilings that help cool down the space. Kichen area is smaller than optimal but i moslty eat out so its not a problem for me. So far I haven’t had any maintenance issues so i can’t rate their efficciency at dealing with management tickets. Although, the asistant property manager seems to be readily available and always replies to my emails in 1-3 hrs. I recommend this apartments for young people withput family who don’t mind guving up some amenities in lieu of a great location at a reasonable price

love the apartment and the location. parking is awesome
I enjoyed my time living here. The maintenance crew always responded swiftly and addressed any issues I had.
I have lived here for a year and half. The management group is great and gets back to be in a timely manner. The location is fantastic, and compared to other nearby apartments, it's a great value. There are three issues that I would like to bring up, listed in order of importance. The first thing is the lighting. This apartment only has two windows: one for the living room and one small one in the kitchen. This means there are no windows in the bedroom, which absolutely wrecked my circadian rhythm. More generally, the lack of direct sunlight makes the apartment feel very dark. Your natural light comes from the sun bounding off the brick wall across the alleyway; the sun will never come straight in through your windows. As someone who works from home, this is by far the biggest issue I have with the apartment. The second thing is the noise of the bar downstairs. While the bar usually closes at 11, they host private parties and comedy nights that can go indefinitely into the night. These events happen about every two weeks and will typically go until about 2:30 in the morning. However, every once in a while, they will be blaring music until 6 am, during which sleep is impossible. If you're a night owl like me, then this is more of an annoyance than a total deal breaker, but still very annoying when it happens. Finally, the wood floors are somewhat worn out. They are starting to peel up, and there are several uneven screws in the floor. This is a recipe for torn socks and makes it almost impossible to use a Swiffer broom because the pad snags. I know I just complained a lot, but this has been a perfectly fine apartment. It's clean, it's safe, and it's in a super convenient part of town for running errands and having fun on the weekends.
