Spacious apartments, building itself does not have the best amenities

For the price it’s phenomenal. Modern, Clean, parking out back.

good bang for your buck; social apartment building but no issues with noise. amenities and management subpar

Management is pretty responsive to issues. The apartments are very spacious compared to nearby buildings, however, it is a bit of an older building. The amenities are poor, the gym has the very basic, there is no printer or common space; at least we have 24/7 security/reception. The location is great, lots of restaurants and places to go, plus transportation is nearby.

It's a dorm

Very spacious apartments with great lighting. Utility cost too high.

Mantenance is responsive. Good management of deliveries. Building is a bit old.

I love my apartment! Very affordable and high-quality for a one bedroom at this price point. The building's amenities are somewhat limited relative to others, but the gym and roof deck do the job in a pinch. Utilities are oddly expensive relative to other buildings, so keep that in mind when setting a rent budget for this vs. other buildings.

Great location, front desk is nice and good to live among other students and share rides to campus. Con = gym and lack of social spaces

Great location and value. My unit isn't renovated but high ceilings and lots of space right above TJs.

Value Aprtment

In july/august, my air conditioning bill (not included in rent) can reach $300/month. Very poor ventilation system, and the A/C is somehow linked between units- when I turn on my A/C, I smell when my neighbor is smoking pot.
Beautiful space and nice gym/pool area.

Poor construction quality, can clearly hear neighbors walking upstairs, irresponsible management office

I have a good space for the rent with huge floor to ceiling windows and a great view of the Philly skyline. Electric bill is large 200-250 dollars because of central AC and the sun heats up the apartment a lot but its very close to many good resturaunts, farmers market, and a trader joes across the street as well as SEPTA. If you want to workout then buy home gym equipment or go outside of the apartment gym.

Kensington is a mixed bag. The location is tremendous: you're within walking distance of Izzy's Kitchen, one of the best restaurants in the city; Buddy's, a fantastic sports bar; the Virginia Museum of History & Culture; and the VMFA. You're about a 15-minute ride to campus. You have access to a very serviceable gym and a deck with some great views of the city. But the management is poor, the mail room is a disaster, and the common areas are grimy. The apartments themselves are pretty nice, though, so if you can put up with some shoddy stairwells and are relatively self-sufficient, it's a good place to be.
