Great building

My unit is a good size for one person! There is a dishwasher and in-unit washer and dryer. The building has a gym, a pool, free coffee in the lobby, and free breakfast in the lobby on Mondays. The front desk staff, especially Dwight, are friendly and helpful. They bring packages up to your door.

Arrive university city

This is a beautiful high rise in university city that is very close to HUP. upsides: brand new, proximity to campus, pool, good gym, great concierge / doorman. Downsides: cost, a further from center city, not many dining options very close to the building, building creaks in high wind.

Loving it

I’ve really enjoyed living at 3601 Market. Neighbors are friendly, amenities are amazing (salt water pool is a huge perk) and it’s a short walk to Wharton (7 minutes tops) and straight shot down market to Center City.

The downsides that I must call out:
-Elevators down constantly (waiting 10 minutes for the one working elevator across 24 floors to get outside for an exam can be very frustrating)
-The property management team isn’t great at communicating things e.g. when the Friday masseuse isn’t coming - first world problems but still and when the common lounge is closed for weather

Love it

I chose to live here because I thought it would make everything about 1L "easier" - and to the extent that a living situation can make things easier, it has! It's a 4 minute walk to school, extremely quiet (can't hear my neighbors at all), has a gym, and parking (for an additional fee - but I've found I really don't need a car here at all), is clean, and has great mail service. If you're looking for an easy place to live that has it all, this is the place

Good experience

I love living close to the law school (5 min distance). The amenities are great & because it's so close to the school, it's easy to meet other law Students. Utilities can be high sometimes and no utilities are included.

I can see Huntsman from my house

I had no idea that I would love living in University City so much. I moved to this modern glass high rise at 36th and Market after living in a similar (but much smaller) apartment in Rittenhouse Sq last year. We needed a bigger apartment and garage parking, and the prices on this side of the Schuylkill were about $2,000 per month less for 2 bedrooms + parking. That has worked out very well - there's plenty of parking in the building garage and it was included for no extra charge, plus they gave us an extra parking pass for guests. But there turned out to be so many more perks than I originally anticipated - and I really love living here. First of all, the building is great: floor to ceiling glass windows, everything is new (it was just built in 2015), and on the 6th floor there are all the amenities you expect to find in this type of building: nice gym and yoga studio, lounge with pool tables, outdoor deck with a fireplace and covered cabanas for hanging out, and an outdoor salt water swimming pool. It's also cool that the building holds free "resident appreciation" events throughout the year - we went to a holiday party with a complimentary catered dinner this past week, and to the elaborate haunted house in Eastern State Pen for Halloween. But ultimately what I appreciate the most, and most underestimated the benefits of before moving here, is the 7 min walk to class. I just run out the door at the last minute - it's 3 blocks away. I don't have to allow extra time for traffic, I arrive exactly when class starts and when I have those awkward breaks I just go home and walk back to Huntsman an hour or two later - as a result, I'm getting a lot more done each day than I did when I lived in Rittenhouse Square.

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.
