Hands down the best place I have ever lived. No, it's not luxury, but the area is safe and in the heart of the city. The marathon runners ran outside my window...I was like 3 blocks from the river to go running, walked to the art museum and trader joes was my neighbor. Amazing.
In my mid 20s and sick of living with roommates, this was the only place I could find that was affordable. Such a steal.
The landlords, unlike what a lot of these posts say, are NOT weird...they're NICE. Something that is probably weird to most Philadelphians. They are so understanding and sweet and professional. Also the maintenance staff never took longer that 4 hours to address a problem.
So sad I had to leave this place (career). There were many times I found myself thinking ""I could probably live here forever"".
