Nice looking apartment in a great location, but management is not responsive, some issues with maintenance and trash

Nice place to live, building is clean and well maintained. Management is prompt. Note we rent from a condo owner, but no complaints about the building itself, so I don't have much to say about EB Reality, however I enjoy living there and my wife loves it.

I have lived at the marine club for a year now, The building has a nice court yard and decent gym. Great for dog owners since there is a little dog area in the court yard. Not a huge fan of the building layout though. Parking is not included in rent and runs over $100 a month

Pros:
- location: right next to a BSL station; walkable to Center City, Passyunk, Italian Market; generally street parking available
- renovated apartment has granite countertops, stainless steel appliances including dishwasher, wood laminate flooring, jacuzzi tub, in-apartment washer/dryer
- staff and management: always friendly and helpful; front desk staff are very professional and package service is great
- small but adequate gym in building, with hot tubs
- attached parking garage available (additional cost)
- awesome courtyard
- pet friendly

Cons:
- some details (closet doors, for example) are low-quality as if the renovations were hurried (used to be a warehouse)
- not a lot of storage space

Overall, a great place. Rent may be a little high compared to other places around the city, but the location and apartment features make it worth it.

I've been living at the Marine Club for about 9 months. I really like it. It's one of the least expensive buildings in the city with a front desk and gym. Most of the apartments are modern with granite countertop, stainless steel appliances, new bathrooms, and in-unit washer dryer. I've been able to get back into exercising recently. The gym there is pretty big for an apartment building. I don't have a car, but they have a garage available. It's also within 100 feet of the Ellsworth / Federal stop.

The apartment is not a typical cramped studio, with the high ceilings and large square footage. It may not be worth the $850 a month, but the gym membership, and location make up for some of the price. Generally safe, not sure if the doormen really question everybody they don't recognize...but I'd rather believe they do.

As a first-time, post-college city dweller at the start of my professional career, I couldn't be more ecstatic with my rental unit. The Marine Club offers high-quality living quarters in an ideal location for a great price. Located on the corner of Broad and Washington, the condominiums fall along the Point Breeze/South Philadelphia border; the neighborhood is only a mile away from City Hall (a straight shot down Broad) so it still gives off a Center City vibe. The entire building has recently been renovated with beautiful, upscale finishes. Management is very responsive and competent overall, including maintenance requests which are handled timely. Even though getting to the heart of Center City is only a brisk 20 minute walk at most, the Ellsworth Septa station is conveniently located a block away for bad weather days.
