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.

2121 Market Street Review

2121 Market Street Review

Right next to the trolley and right on top of Trader Joe's - great location! There are high ceilings and tons of sunlight. There is a decent gym as well. The appliances are not super modern, but any time I've had an issue management has been responsive. Great price as well. Very happy with the building overall.

There are so many reasons why I love living at 2121 Market. The apartment itself is really spacious--way bigger than other 1brs in the Rittenhouse area. The building is a converted warehouse so the ceilings are really high, adding to the spaciousness. It also has huge windows so there is lots of natural lighting. There are not that many grocery stores in the Rittenhouse area, so being above the TJ's is a big deal. 0.25mi from the Schuylkill River trail and 0.4mi to Rittenhouse Square as well. The doormen are super friendly and are not strict about bringing guests to the rooftop.

Love the high ceilings and natural light in this industrial-style building. Location is convenient and right next to the trolley. Prices are great for the size and location. Management is OK and front desk is hit or miss. Gym is good for a basic workout and common area is nice for a small meet-up. Fire station across the street is a bummer but you get used to it. Overall, this place won't blow you away but the price is hard to beat. Very happy with my two years here.

Apartments (at least the ones facing Market Street) are very loud, as the window panes are not great. Only renewed for a 2nd year because the price was very good.

So far we have had a great experience living in this apartment building. It's right above Trader Joe's, and close to Center City stuff, but also an easy walk to school. The management is very responsive to requests for maintenance, and the apartments are very affordable for what you get in the area.

It is a great place to live!

Pros: 14 ft. ceilings. Huge windows. Hardwood floors. Two big rooftop decks with tables and chairs. Nice gym. Doorman Building. Laundry on every floor. Right above Trader Joes and the 22nd street Trolley Station. Less than 20 min walk to the Penn Campus, 10 mins on the trolley. Great location. Great place for a student living alone.

Cons: Thin walls and the sound travels. It's a quiet building so this won't be a problem unless your neighbors have more than one resident or a dog. Occasional roaches. Very basic appliances. High ceilings means high bill for heat/AC if you aren't careful. If you're looking for a building that is tight with security, makes visitors sign in, or stops non-residents at the front desk, this is not the place for you.
