2601 Parkway Condominiums

good neighborhood

Have lived here for almost 2 years. Rent includes access to community space and gym within the building. Main downside is parking--can be difficult to find late at night, especially if you don't have a permit for the neighborhood.

Huge condo building, range of unit price and finishes, hit or miss.

This building was filled with a great mix of people from all walks of life. Mostly working professionals, retirees and some families. Its shuttle service to Center City was very convenient and the neighborhood is quite safe and comfortable. There are lots of amenities within a few blocks and it's extremely easy to catch a bus to Center City.

The gym is pretty typical and had all the basics. It was never over crowded. The front desk staff was quite friendly and many knew the residents by name. The lobby was beautiful and welcoming. Because it is a condo building, each unit varies quite greatly.

This building has a lot of great amenities and the 24 hour staff is very helpful and friendly. Great location with lots nearby. The shuttle to Center City is super convenient and a huge selling point. Large mix of renters and owners which makes for an interesting mix of tenants in the building.

2601 Parkway is a great location that is close to the city, but still quiet and spacious. The park across the street is awesome for dog owners, as is the close proximity to Kelly Drive and Fairmount Park. The location is great for walking to restaurants, and it is a fairly easy walk to Center City (although it's an even easier cab). The main perk of living at 2601 is the location. However, there are some other great perks. I love that there is a 24/7 front desk staff. They are very friendly and accommodating. It is great that they accept and store packages, I have many friends who live in the city who have their packages go missing. The community feel of the building is nice, with a good number of events and a community posting board. The makeup of the building is pretty diverse, with a range of ages and family compositions, early professionals and retirees. The only thing that is lacking is a public transportation option to University City. SEPTA has plans to make a route that connects these two areas, but it may be after FY 2017.

Besides the house I grew up in, this was my favorite place to live. The location is amazing and the crew that works at the building are so friendly. The head manager sends out frequent emails that treat adults like children...for example: "don't put luggage down the garbage shoot." 95% of the people living there do not need to be told that.

The apt I live in is so drafty in the winter and it's freezing. The one pet per apt rule is a little ridiculous too. I mean management lets people smoke in their units...why can't I have two cats?

The gym, shuttle, and dry cleaning service is great. Amazing place for young professionals, families and people of all ages!
