2040 Market is a great place to live. Albeit a bit expensive, it is a great location with beautiful apartments, a decent gym, and nice outdoor communal space. Management are good people to work with and maintenance are extremely quick to help and always available. Easy commute to Drexel, as well.

My overall experience living at 2040 Market has been deeply unsatisfactory. I would not recommend this building to anyone moving to Philadelphia, especially considering the price point. Further, PMC Property Group (management) clearly doesn't value the tenant experience based on some of the issues and lack of remedies offered by them.

While, I have a terrible impression of this building, to be fair, I'd like to point out a few of its charms. The building has an excellent location, minutes from Rittenhouse Square and public transport and less than a 10 minute walk from 30th Market Street Station. On the higher floors, 6 and above, the views of Philadelphia are stupendous. The apartment layouts are spacious, if not sprawling, covered by high ceilings and framed well with floor to ceiling windows. Finally, if you're a pet owner, the building couldn't be more pet friendly.

Unfortunately, what appears pleasant on the surface, ends up lacking significant depth. I found PMC Property Group somewhat accommodating with easy asks, such as move in dates but once real issues started bubbling to the surface, the PMC representatives were filled with empty promises and unreasonable constraints. Beyond managements ineptitude, I've listed below a number of the issues that I came across while living here for only 6 months. Together, they have wrecked my experience and made it seem as if the building were put together quickly and cheaply to start generating landlord profits.

Here's a list of a few of the issues that I've encountered:

- Ventilation failures during periods of extreme weather (both during the heat and during the cold - temperature dropped below 60 degrees in my apartment during New Years 2018, one of the coldest days of the year, due to heating failure. Management did nothing for more than 24 hours)
- Some units in my hallway are rented out as short term rentals, like HOTEL ROOMS. This was unexpected and unwanted, to say the least

- A/C units are all interconnected and there have been several instances of cigarette smells emanating from the vents

- The fire alarm has gone off at least once a month since I've lived here, sometimes past 12AM. Many of the tenants at this point ignore the alarm entirely, a dangerous proposition

- The treadmills in the building aren't ever all working at once. Management on several occasion promised to fix them but have not

- The fuse in one of my rooms blows easily (blew from two appliances being plugged in)

- The kitchen sink was not properly designed and water often leaks beneath it

If the building were to permanently solve these issues, I would absolutely adjust my rating but until then, I wouldn't recommend you consider this building in your apartment search.

Lots of room, great location (between Rittenhouse and University City). Management is responsive, though it sometimes takes awhile for maintenance requests to be filled.

This is the best location - less than a 5 minute walk from both Trader Joe’s and Target, as well as countless restaurants, stores, and bars. The complex also has a two-story gym, a rooftop deck on the 6th floor, high ceilings, big windows, and free indoor temperature-controlled moped parking!! (Moped not motorcycle) Also, it is pet friendly, and even if you don’t have pets, it’s fun to see other people’s pets. The building is a 20-25 minute walk from the Law school depending on how fast you walk/how many stoplights you hit. Otherwise, the trolley is right across the street and takes you directly to Penn Law for a low fare.

2040 Market is a good choice for Wharton Students. The location is great and the building has all of the amenities and basic conveniences I needed for 2 years.

I really like this apartment with following two reasons :
1. Location : 2 minutes walk to Trolley station and Trader Joe's, WAWA, CVS and etc. Very close to almost all places near Rittenhouse and 2401.
2. Room : Room is spacious with high ceiling and big window.
3. Security : They are nice and organize delivered packages.
If I list up cons;
1. Walls / Floors / Ceilings are weak : I can hear clearly the noise of next door, elevator floor, and upper floor.
2. Security : They are nice but I think stranger can go inside the building easily.

Overall I am very satisfied with this apartment!

We love it here. The apartments are relatively large and specious, if you don't care much about amenities, its a great building.
The location is very convenient, just across treader jo's, trolly station, CVS

Great deal for the space that I get. The location is really convenient and the amenities are a really good value.

It’s a very spacious apartment at a great price :)

Units are nice and modern; higher floors (6+ I think) are new; value for the unit quality is excellent; amenities are mediocre (deck has no BBQs, no pool, gym is good but not great); management is terrible; close to trolley (very convenient)
