Great place to live!
The location is amazing, it's very close to Penn (my school), rooms are extremely spacious, square footage is MUCH better compared to other apartments in the area that are more expensive! Amenities are beautiful -- the gym has everything you could want, there are BEAUTIFUL common sitting spaces and a REALLY nice roof to host friends. Ceilings are really high which make for great acoustics. Only odd thing is that there are no ceiling lights so you need a few floor lamps.

Great choice for law students
I really enjoy living in Left Bank; it's relatively close to the law school building (about a 5-7 minute walk), the interior looks modern and spacious (high ceilings), and there are many amenities that tenants can take advantage of, such as the gym, study rooms, theater, community kitchen, and rooftop. It is a bit on the pricier side, but if you're planning on living with others, it's worth it!

Nice apartments, great location
The space is clean and well maintained. The location cannot be beat given the proximity to Penn and nearby restaurants.

Left bank
I've lived in Left Bank for over two years. Great proximity to the law school while still being very accessible to center city. Most apartments are recently renovated and the maintenance team is great. I love the roof deck as a social or study space and the gym is pretty good. I will say that the security is not as good as it was when I first moved in. We no longer have 24/7 security and only one of the entrances ever has a guard.

Left Bank
The Left Bank is unbeatable from a location standpoint. It's a 10 minute walk to HUP Main and the Pavilion, while it's about 15 minutes to the VA or Penn Presbyterian walking. It takes about 20 minutes walking to get to the heart of center city and is right next door to the Schuylkill River trail which is incredible!
The units are spacious and depending on where you are also have great views of the city. There's a decent gym, nice rooftop, and community kitchens throughout the building. One big downside is the smell. It is pet friendly building which is great, but often times there is a lingering smell of pets, especially due to the carpet throughout the halls.
Overall it's a great building if being able to walk to the hospital is important for you. It's safe, has nice units, and very large kitchens.

Left bank is ok for
A little bit far from SP2, facilties are fare good with big gym, the maintenance sometimes is slow. Really spacious compared to other apt, sunlight and view depend on the location of each apt. Not very safe because ppl could follow into apt.

CHOP Resident
I have had a great experience at the Left Bank! Extremely convenient commute to CHOP. Worked well for me and my partner because we had a car and a dog to consider and we have access to covered parking and the building is pet friendly.

Much Safer Location than Rittenhouse Square, Closer to class.
Extremely Safe, really convenient spot that is located between Huntsman and Rittenhouse. University City is 1000% safer to live than Center City or Rittenhouse Square these days because of the rise in crime in Philadelphia. Unlike Center City/Rittenhouse Square- University has 3 different security elements (Penn Police, Drexel Police and Alliance Security) always on the prowl making sure the area is under control. Numerous people I know who live in Rittenhouse Square have been assaulted or robbed on their way to class. By living at Left Bank within University City- I have not had to put up with these types of safety issues.

Expensive but convenient
I enjoy being able to live so close to campus while still having accessibility to Rittenhouse/Center City. There were times when the building was struggling with pest control issues, but management was very responsive to this. The maintenance staff is extremely friendly and helpful! My major issue is that they hiked rent considerably over the past year (almost 25%). The roof is a great place to host parties + the rooms are huge.

Lately it has gotten a little noisy at night on my street, but otherwise I have few complaints about the neighborhood.
