AMAZING FOR FAMILIES WITH KIDS!!!

Very nice apartment. AMAZING for families with kids. It's located in Grad Hospital neighborhood. 25 minute walk from campus. 20 minute walk to Rittenhouse Square. The neighborhood is gated off and has TONS of grassy areas for my kids to run around. Almost everyone there has a family with young children. It's so, so nice to be surrounded with people in a similar life situation and have so many friends for the kids to play with.

Renting at Naval Square

I've really enjoyed living in Naval Square. The grounds are beautiful and safe, and our apartment is spacious. Having access to the pool and gym are also nice bonuses. The location is fantastic, as it only takes about 15 minutes to walk to CHOP (or less if you take the shuttle that goes from Roberts to CHOP Main). The main downsides are that it is expensive here, the fact that it feels disconnected from the surrounding community, and that there are a lot of strict rules that sometimes seem excessive/arbitrary. But overall, I'd happily choose to live here again.

Naval Square is the Best for Families!

If you are a family and looking for more space and the convenience of parking, green space, and a great community, then move into Naval Square. It can be hard to find an apartment for rent, recommend you start asking early to find someone who lives here.

Naval Square is a great place to live. Especially if you have a family. 15 minute walk to UPenn. Perfect if you have a dog.

About Devil's Pocket

At only 3 square blocks, many miss the smaller neighborhood of Devil's Pocket. Tucked in between Fitler Square, Graduate Hospital, and Grays Ferry, Devil's Pocket is home to a large Irish-American population. Gentrification has brought some local businesses to the area, such as Thai Square and Devil...

This neighborhood feels like a small, tight-knit community - I see friends around the neighborhood all the time! Once I lost my wallet nearby and a complete stranger tracked down my email to return it to me, with nothing missing. I love living here!
Reviewed by Penn Med Student living at Naval Square
Quiet, friendly neighborhood with lots of grocery stores, convenience stores, and small restaurants nearby.
Reviewed by Kyle B living at 2609 Webster Street
This small neighborhood is just south of Naval Square and offers an affordable alternative to Rittenhouse for those seeking a larger living space. The streets are very narrow but generally offer decent parking. The nearby power plant produces some mechanical hum, but never strange smells or smoke. The neighborhood is very close to the South Street bridge, offering excellent bike and foot access to UPenn and the Schuylkill River Trail. The neighbors are a combination of med school residents, nurses, and other local Philadelphians. The neighborhood has a safe feel and is generally very quiet.

Close to campus, relatively quiet, some restaurants nearby, only nearby grocery store is overpriced, lots of vets and pet stores, nice place for young professionals
Reviewed by Penn Resident living at Naval Square
Devil's Pocket is a cute , primarily residential neighborhood within walking distance to Rittenhouse House Square and University City.
Reviewed by Wharton MBA Student living at Naval Square
Graduate Hospital/ Devil's Pocket is exploding with growth, including new local grocers, parks and green space. A great community
Reviewed by Penn Med Student living at Naval Square
Highly residential and quiet. Not a lot of restaurants/bars in the immediate area, but plenty of options a short walk away.
Reviewed by Wharton MBA Student living at Naval Square
Slowly gentrifying, with some good community and local business sponsored programming at the nearby Grays Ferry Triangles.
