Good apartment
Good facilities and building, but consistent maintenance issues that take a while to fix. Slightly pricey.

Solid experience so far. Best: solid gym and amenities and high ceilings, very nice, quick, and responsive maintenance team, nice large vindow
Worst: rent price was reasonable when we moved in and after rent increase is a bit steep, management can be unreliable at times, not many local restaurants nearby, lots of chains. Also be mindful one side of the building is next to the train and the train can be LOUD at times, but the trains are only SETPA so they go quickly

Decent place, convenient location
This is a great option for those who want to be close to Penn/HUP but also have easy access to public transit (30th street station) and be a reasonable walk from Rittenhouse/center city. The apartments are decently sized, with wood floors, high ceilings, in-unit washer/dryers, walk-in closet. The building recently opened a rooftop deck with great views of the city and there is a gym that pretty nice. Downsides are that the common spaces (lounge, kitchen, theater room) are actually quite expensive to reserve and some of the elevators seem to be constantly out of service.

Excellent location for getting to HUP, VA, and Presby. High ceilings, spacious floorplan, great amenities including a clean and well-equipped gym. Close to transportation. Good temperature control. Nice rooftop in the summer. Clean. Main complaint is that the elevators frequently break down - there are only 6 floors, but they should be better maintained for the relatively high rent cost. Overall, however, I am happy with my apartment and renewed my lease this year.

The Left Bank
I have lived here for the last 2 years and just renewed my lease for another year. It's in an ideal location - 5 minute walk to the nearest subway stop and 30th St Station and 10 min walk to work with a variety of stores and restaurants in the area. The apartments are incredibly spacious with great large windows and a ton of storage space. The building is clean, quiet, and secure. Management and maintenance are on site so are very responsive - all of my maintenance requests have been taken care of within 24 hrs.

The Left Bank Review
Nice place. Very nice building. Beware of getting a room near the train though since that can be loud, but you will get used to it. Management can be a pain for move in and to prospective residents since they are understaffed and don't pick up the phone, but have otherwise been super responsive for me as a resident

Solid Apartment, but Management Needs Work
Apartment and the fixtures are great, especially within the apartment. The facilities are nice, the rooftop is great, and the amenities are excellent. So is the apartment location.
Only gripes are that management should be more wary of asking for permission when doing maintenance or refurnishing in the apartment. Additionally, the elevators break down too often.

University City Reviews
- Close to campus (~20 min walk, ~8 min trolley ride)
- Generally safe because University City in general has been highly gentrified.
- Charming and diverse community
- CLARK PARK! (and the Farmers' Market!!!)
Cons:
- No nearby grocery stores (except Fresh Grocer which is gross)
- Can be sketchy after dark
