2121 Market Street

Fantastic amount of light in the apartment because of high ceilings, otherwise average

Not necessarily the highest quality finishings and many unrenovated apartments with carpet in the bedroom. However it's good space and great value for money. Not a super popular Wharton building so good if you don't want to be in a dorm

Great location, no sound dampening between apartments and/or hallway. You can hear EVERYTHING. Also minimal storage (closets, cabinets, etc) for a pretty large apartment.

High ceilings, relatively quick repairs, new appliances, few pests, good package room, security guard at front desk, small gym and outside deck on top floor.

However, elevators frequently break, some security guards not great, thin walls, laundry breaks somewhat frequently.

The apartment itself is amazing, and the amenities are nice (two sky decks, rooftop gym and lounge), but management can be a little slow to respond, which is a little frustrating at times. Also, it is right on top of Trader Joe's, which is great. The trolley line is also right downstairs, so door to door it only takes about 10 minutes to get to school (or around 15-20 if you decide to walk)

I absolutely love living here. The location is unbeatable (close to rittenhouse, 20min to campus, right above Trader Joe’s) and the apartment is so lovely. Every apartment has vaulted ceilings and floor to ceiling windows. The walls are super thick and I can do at home workouts without disturbing my neighbors. My only complaint is that laundry machines are shared by floor and cost $2 for washing and $1.75 for drying. And quality of wash is not great

Right above Trader Joe's and literally in front of the SEPTA stop, the location is hard to beat. For the price, it's better than most places you'll get in the same area. There's a gym included. It is a bit older though - my appliances have the feel of something a decade old, the washer/dryer in the building doesn't work so well, and the floors are a bit uneven. Overall, we are happy with the place, but you do have to know what you value.

I've had a few maintenance issues, but management is responsive, and the maintenance guys are really nice. The walls are kind of thin, but my neighbors aren't too noisy. I did have ants at one point. They weren't in the kitchen, though, and a few traps got rid of them.

The natural light from the big windows is great. The utilities aren't as expensive as I thought they would be, but you do have to pay for laundry (on each floor). There's a basic gym on the top floor. It's pet-friendly, but I don't usually hear dogs barking unless I'm in the hallway. And it's great living above Trader Joe's and a short walk away from other stores and restaurants.

My unit is great. Repairs can take a while. Elevators are frequently out of service. It's nice having a front desk attendant 24/7 (except on holidays, I believe). Packages are kept safe in the lobby. Small gym and deck spaces on roof. For the price and location, this building is tough to beat. But if you want a more luxurious unit in Center City this is probably not your location.
