High Ceilings nice area

Though it is small, the ceilings make it look much more spacious than it is. The board is constantly trying to fix things around here and make it a better living space. The location is perfect, everything is walk-able or bike-able at the leaf. It is gated here as well, which makes me feel safe.

Reviewed by Philadelphia Resident living at Sugar Refinery
We love our neighborhood. I think being north of Market street is a most in old city. We are on a quiet cobblestone street away from the noise and rowdiness of market street. We have great artisan shops and restaurants around us and a perfect local coffee shop just outside our door. I love our area and encourage friends who live in Rittenhouse or grad hospital to walk the extra blocks on a nice Saturday to shop local and enjoy this great side of the city.

Old City is a neighborhood where all ages can find something to do and enjoy. It's generally a very safe area with lots of beautiful things to see.
Reviewed by Penn Law Student living at The View at Old City
Old City is beautiful and historic. The building is a 10-15 minute walk from the real Old City. This building is more on that industrial border between Old City and NoLib/Fishtown.

Can be a bit tourist-filled at times, but there is always something to do!

We have a great neighborhood with a bunch of things going on.

Living in Old City has been great - it's a really convenient location, close to public transit, and feels much safer than other places in Philadelphia. Lots of greats bars and restaurants nearby. That said, the rent is pretty expensive so it might be a wider idea to purchase rather than rent.

Old City has revitalized like no other: great for couples, singles, young families and working professionals. Endless shopping and dining and safe to boot! I have never loved a neighborhood so much.
Reviewed by Thomas Jefferson Medical Student living at Printing House Apartments
Old City is a beautiful and lively neighborhood. Only drawback is lack of a good grocery store and difficulty finding street parking.
