After deciding to downsize, I sold my house of 10+ years in Center City to move into a rental. I was hesitant, not knowing what to expect. I moved in pre-construction a year ago, and today just extended my agreement for another year lease. I would not have done that if I thought I could have found a better building, the most prompt manager ever (Andrew is fantastic), developer Jon who takes amazing pride in all the finishes of the building and the construction is top-notch.
PLUSSES
LED recessed lighting that dims and changes color with remote control
Fully integrated built in speaker system for surround sound / music
Floor to ceiling brand new crank windows - European style and cool
High end appliances like Dishwasher that actually cleans dishes, through-the-door ice and water dispenser fridge, full size front loading washer and dryers in each unit, built in microwave, garbage disposal and huge, deep sink
My apartment is DEAD QUIET. I do not hear a thing.
Location is safe and amazing. One block to tons of restaurants, bars, gyms.
Huge brand new gym and huge, dry, secure storage unit included with the rent.
NEGATIVES
The common areas outside are not really meant to be enjoyed as the sound is very loud in the open-air atriums. Once inside the apartments, it is NOT LOUD at all.
My heating bill was more than the other units. When brought to the building's attention, I felt heard and that they were going to look into it.
Some units may not get as much sunlight as others. I prefer lots, and this is my biggest complaint.
If you are seeking a very well maintained rental, management that responds immediately, a building without mice, bugs, and other vermin, this is it. Clean, comfortable, safe, modern, loft-style apartments you will not find anywhere else. read more
