Great location and facilities. Management could be more responsive.

I've been here for 2+ years and have enjoyed my top floor, isolated apartment. I'm sure other locations in the building are smaller or noisier, but for the price, I couldn't live somewhere quieter in such a great and accessible neighborhood. The security is lax but generally friendly, the management is typically responsive and patient, and the gym and roof deck--oh, those are amenities you'd have to pay an arm and a leg for anywhere else in the city. I think the value of this apartment (a relatively rare 2-bedroom in a building of mostly 1-bedrooms, on the top floor, in the corner) is enough that, with the recent addition of the rooftop amenities, I'll be asking to re-up my lease for 2 years just to make sure that I lock in the value I have right now.

Hey guys i have lived in 2121 market st apt building and i have enjoyed my stay here. Moving out as i am relocating to CA. It's a pretty convenient location with trolley station right outside the building and trader joe's on the backside of it. I don't have a pet but this seems to be a great place for pet lovers,very pet friendly.

2121 market st apartments are good to rent location wise and also apartments are built nicely. They build a new gym which is pretty good and well maintained. It's a convenient location as you have kelly drive,seven eleven,trader joes,trolley station all close by. I enjoyed living here.

I've lived in the building for 1.5 years and could not be happier. Love the massive windows and high ceilings. Management has been responsive to all issues and is currently building a gym and rooftop deck.

If you can deal with truly sub-par management, its a great place at a good price. Even for a one bedroom in center city, its cheap. Its right above trader joes and right next to the trolley stop that takes you right to school. Also right across from the liquor store--in another city that might sound trivial or like I'm a drunk, but in Philly that's important. Kitchen appliances are not great, but the living space is phenomenal, great windows and sunlight, the bedroom is a great sleeping area, and the bathroom does the job.

This building is great but the Fire Alarm goes off at least once every 3 weeks at 1:30am

I had a terrible experience with the management company after the front desk at 2040 Market signed for a package of mine (worth $250!), lost it, and then the company refused to take responsibility. That's patently incorrect--what they really meant to say is "we know you won't pursue this." The person at the front desk told me he remembered signing for the package, confirmed that he did sign for it, and said he didn't know where it went. I'll spare the details, but tried and failed to speak to management in person and via email and kept getting the same line: "Unfortunately, PMC is not liable for resident packages." Eventually, someone said they'd deliver it to my door if it ever turned up, but of course, it never did. The worst part was the day after I reported the incident, the management company sent an email to all residents in the building saying that if anyone wanted packages delivered from here on out, he or she would have to sign a release explaining the management company would not be liable for any lost packages they signed for. This was such slap in the face. I never signed any release.

Also, know that if you plan on moving here with a dog (as they heavily advertise that they allow dogs), the building company recently issued a memo about dogs relieving themselves in front of the building. The management company said they may decide to stop allowing dogs. So, they might decide to kick out the tiniest member of your family after you've moved in and paid a pet fee because other resident pet owners are making it harder for them to rent out the units.

Finally, this place is far from a "24 hour doorman building," and if they advertise as such, know that that is a lie. The doorman or woman shows up at 4pm. (Unless of course they're referring to the doorman at 2040 Market, another building entirely, who may sign for and lose your package.)

The walls are incredibly thin and the electric bill in the summer can be surprisingly high. (I paid close to $200 one month for electric alone, even though I kept the air down and turned off the central air every time I left.)

...But other than that, it's a large apartment above a Trader Joe's, so I wouldn't blame you if you moved in.

The apartment is beautiful. Spacious, bright, and has a wall of windows with a view. It's also ideally located in front of a trolly line and sits atop Trader Joe's.

It's really good value for a pretty big 1 Bedroom apartment. Management is very fast reacting to maintenance requests and the 2040 Market Street parent building has amenities that are available to us as well. The two downsides are that the apartment fixtures are a little old so no luxury here AND the walls are thin so you can always here neighbors yelling on the phone or watching TV too loudly.
