2 Unit Apartment Building

Modern, new construction with high end finishes. Two bed two bath unit with two small outdoor spaces. Modern appliances in the kitchen and ample pantry storage space make the small sized kitchen very functional and the highlight of this unit. The biggest downside of this unit is the lack of natural light with the only direct natural light coming into the front bedroom. Units are also very narrow, and only the top unit has access to the rooftop. There is also very thin walls/floors between units, so noise from neighbors is frequently encountered. Extremely close to the center of the wonderful Fishtown neighborhood, and steps from the Girard SEPTA stop. Parking conditionally provided, and a great space for pets.

Easy 30-35min commute to/from campus on the Market-Frankford line (Septa, $2.50 fare), easily within biking distance of most of Philly. Lots of great coffee shops, restaurants, bars, and gyms/studios, plus tons of nearby parks and public outdoor space. Neighborhood is safe and friendly. My parents Googled it and tell me that it's "hip."
Reviewed by RJMetrics Employee living at 1320 East Montgomery Ave.
Short walk to the subway which is then about a 10-15 ride to the office.

Lots of young people and young families have moved into the area recently. There is a ton of new construction, restaurants, and stores popping up.

Negatives - lots of litter, but I guess that's Philly. What else is new?
Reviewed by Philadelphia Resident living at 1821 Memphis Street
The street is quiet enough but it's close to many great bars, restaurants, main roads and public transportation, parks, etc. Sometimes on weekends, parking is a bit difficult because of all the nearby things to do.

We are only a few blocks from all the prime fun Fishtown spots and the Girard El stop. Rent is affordable compared to other neighborhoods and there's new restaurants and bars popping up all the time here. It's an easy 15 minute train ride to downtown and our street is very quiet and neighborhoodly (this is easy to find in Fishtown because of all the cute tiny streets). There is an Acme very close at 2nd and Girard (which can get pricey) but with a car, there are several more affordable grocery stores just a 10 minute drive up Aramingo. The major con is the parking, which is fairly typical of all up and coming young professional neighborhoods. From what I've heard it's still better than South Philly. It also can be tricky to find a place in a great location, now that the neighborhood is expanding so rapidly. Lots of places listed as Fishtown are actually really far from everything so watch out.

Easy access to the El. Hip restaurants, coffee shops, low noise, plenty of culture. Currently being gentrified.

Easy access to the rest of the city via the El, all while living in a close community and around some of the best bars and restaurants in Philly.

Fishtown is a great neighborhood to explore, and definitely live if you're open to being off campus. It's very similar to Brooklyn in NYC with a quieter feel than the rest of the city but some of the best bars, restaurants, and coffee shops in all of Philly. I enjoy getting out of West Philly and having a place in the city to call my own, so I appreciate a bit of a commute (though not for everyone). It is right along the El, so the subway ride to Penn is about 10-15 minutes.

Very fun neighborhood with an abundance of great spots for food and drink. There is also a very fun character and a good community along Frankford and Girard. Overall feels safe, with the exception of occasional police activity around the Girard SEPTA station
