Good place to stay

Spacious apartment, well maintained gym and a five minute walk from SP2 main building. Can’t complain, the only issue is that management may be unresponsive at times and you’ll really have to nudge them to respond.

Pretty good

Rent is a little high for my tastes and maintenance isn’t always very responsive, though that’s been improving recently. Amenities are good. Subletting is no longer allowed though.

Go HamCo! Live HamCo!

My friends and I were referred to Hamco from a few current residents and it has been a great living experience. We have a three-bedroom apartment and it is plenty spacious and we each have our own good sized bedrooms for our own private space.

The building has a ton of amenities - pool, hot tub, grilling area, study lounge, nice courtyard & deck. They host events almost every week with plenty of free food which is great for us college students.

The staff is always accessible and really friendly. We've had minor maintenance issues with lights being out however they were fixed immediately.

Best of all Upenn is quite literally a 1 minute walk away which gives us the convenience of being right where need to be in minutes.

There has only been positive experience at Hamco so far!

Ideal Off-Campus Apartment

I spent my junior and now senior year at hamco and its just been great off-campus living for me and my roommates. Its like a two minute walk to campus which is the main reason I chose to live here. A new washer/dryer room and gym with pool was just added which is an upgrade to what was previously there and have met a bunch of friends while being here. Hamco is solid college living.

Hamco is Home

I lived in Hamco for my sophmore year and the location really can't be beat. Everything is just a few steps away -- 5 mins from campus, some of the best restaurants (Dim Sum House, City Tap, Sweetgreen, Starbucks).

I reupped my lease for my junior year. They are building a brand new amenity center with pool, fitness center and lounge which will is exciting for next year!

Best Living In University City

I only have good things to say about my stay at Hamco. I got back from my study abroad program last year and needed to find an off-campus apartment as soon as possible. My two other friends were in the same situation so we worked with Hamco management and they helped us get the great apartment we really wanted. We just renewed our lease and looking forward to the new fitness center and rooftop pool.

One of best thing about things about Hamco is the great location. It's a 5 minute walk from campus and has great food and nightlife options in the area.

Buildings are in generally crappy condition and predominately undergraduates. Very close to campus for a decent price though.

University City Reviews

158 reviews
Close enough to campus to walk, but far enough away that you don't feel surrounded by just students. Clark Park is lovely, there's something for everybody - farmers market on Saturdays, regular flea markets, off-leash area for dogs, playground, etc. Several coffee shops within 2 blocks and some good places to eat within 5 blocks. Grocery shopping isn't super convenient if you buy a lot at once, but doable if you're just carrying one or two bags. Street parking isn't too bad but gets competitive on the weekends.
I chose the neighborhood for proximity to the school. If I could choose otherwise, I would be over by Rittenhouse or further West around the Clark Park area. It feels a bit commercial in U City (not so charming or friendly). BUT everything you need is here and it is very convenient. The only real downside is an aesthetic one.
Gentrifying area of West Philly, given Penn's presence and expansion into the neighborhood. Easily walkable. Within several blocks of Clark Park, where there are lots of community events and family-friendly activities in addition to walking paths and dog park. Lots of cute shops and restaurants along Baltimore Ave plus great hole-in-the-wall spots if you want to explore a bit more.
I enjoy living in University City. It is perfect if you want to live in a low key area very close to school. Most people in the area are affiliated with Penn, so the community is generally pretty young and active. You are in walking distance from everything you might need. You do not need a car to get around. Even if you plan on spending a good deal of time in Center City, you can get there easily by rail or by Uber. I wouldn't have chosen to live anywhere else during 1L.
I have developed a sincere appreciation for the lifestyle and restaurants in University City over the last few months. UC is excellent for student budgets: for about $12 per person you get an entire feast at The Greek Lady, a giant cold-banishing soup at the Ramen Bar, or a 15-vegetable salad at Axis Pizza. There's a full grocery store (Fresh Grocer), several nice coffeehouses, and did I mention the 3 block walk to class? In terms of safety it's about the same as Rittenhouse or Center City.
Pros:
- Close to campus (~20 min walk, ~8 min trolley ride)
- Generally safe because University City in general has been highly gentrified.
- Charming and diverse community
- CLARK PARK! (and the Farmers' Market!!!)

Cons:
- No nearby grocery stores (except Fresh Grocer which is gross)
- Can be sketchy after dark
It's hard to pinpoint exactly where University City is right now as a neighborhood, because it's changing so rapidly. It's gone from one of the most dangerous campuses in the country ~5 years ago to incredibly safe. With the new FMC Tower going up at 30th/Walnut, it's hard to say exactly what this area will be like next year... but it's only getting better. It's a nice way to avoid Rittenhouse prices while still being only a stone's throw away from Rittenhouse (and yet at the same time not sacrifice on proximity to campus).
I am right by Clark park which is on the border or UC and West Philly. It is much quieter and more residential. The food scene is incredible with lots of smaller, family-owned restaurants serving food from many different cultures. There have been no major crime issues as well.
