Love the apartment itself. The staff is incredibly helpful. It's super convenient to the Law School. The only negative thing is that the fire alarm goes off frequently in the whole building.

The building is fantastic, it is a new building with a gym, pool, and many amenities. The management company leaves a lot to be desired. They sometimes don't respond to emails, take a long time to fix community things like the elevators when they go down, and have frequent employee turnover.

Management Troubles

Loved the apartment and being close to huntsman and away from the bubble. The amenities and units are amazing - salt water pool, club house with billiards, tvs, etc, floor to ceiling windows, in unit laundry etc.

Only two downsides are the neighbors and management. While there are a ton of grad students - no undergrads allowed - and young professionals, there are also many children and families. That means your date night pool hang outs turn into toddler screaming matches. Most residents just avoid common areas at peak kid times.

Management is very amateur and not responsive to resident needs. Everything is a battle. I'm just hoping another management company comes along and brings us into the 21st century of tenant relations.

3601 Market Review

The overall experience has been great at 3601 Market. Everything is new and clean. Normally management is responsive though there have been times when they drop the ball - though truly not many issues have come up. Great for students because theres a gym on site and also free printing. There is extra small study rooms and a pool to read by when its warm.

Law student review

The property is beautiful and most of the staff is wonderful and responsive to maintenance requests. Management is much less responsive and it is difficult to get a reply from them regarding concerns about payment

Reviewed by Penn SP2 Student living at Chester Hall
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.
Reviewed by Penn Carey Law Student living at 3737 Chestnut
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.
Reviewed by Penn Med Student living at 503 South 41st St.
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.
Reviewed by Penn Law Student living at Chestnut Hall
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.
Reviewed by Wharton MBA Student living at 3601 Market
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.
Reviewed by Penn Law Student living at 4213 Chester
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
Reviewed by Wharton MBA Student living at Evo at Cira Centre South
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).
Reviewed by Penn Med Student living at 4213 Chester
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.
