Perfect for families

The entire condo is on one floor (no stairs) and has an underground parking garage. Naval Square is a gated community with patrolling guards and has a pool and gym. 15 minute walk to campus. Ideal for students with families who want piece of mind that their family is safe and secure during school and the summer internship. A significant portion of the Naval Square community are young families with kids.

Suburban oasis in the city

If you have children or pets but still want to live in the city, Naval Square should be your choice.

Units come with assigned parking, there's a nice big lawn up front where kids play and dogs are walked. The concierge receives packages for you. You're walking distance to great brunch options. And you're still in the city.

Ideal for Families

If you have a family and want a safe and convenient place to live, you cannot do any better than Naval Square. A gated condominium complex that is guarded with private security, you feel safe as soon as you drive through the gate. We have underground parking with a dedicated spot and the gym and pool have everything you want. A very large parade ground at the front of the community is a great place to let your kids play and socialize with other parents. Minutes from Penn, CHOP, and Rittenhouse Square.

Naval Square

We are VERY happy here. We have a young child and the atmosphere is great for families. Very secure and amenities are good for us, although some city buildings have superior pools and gyms. We like having a car here and it's included in price and right outside our door. Green space great for kids.

Haven in the city

We've loved living at Naval Square. There are so many young families here, and living so close to other families creates a great sense of community.

Naval Square

Pros: Naval square is a very family friendly place. Also, it is easy to bike/walk/take a bus to school from this place. The apartment is spacious and community is very pretty.

Cons: Won't find many classmates walking with you from home or campus. Might be difficult to find UBER pool with Wharton students.

Naval Square - The best family living in philly

Naval Square is the place to live if you have a family. There are always kids running around in the expansive front lawn, which means you get to meet lots of great people from Wharton outside your cluster AND people from outside the Wharton bubble. It's a little bit higher in price than other places but we've found it's very much worth it.

Ultimate suburban living for families and pet owners

This is probably the best housing option in the whole of Philadelphia for families and pet owners.

You get the best of both worlds - suburban feel with city access

Best value in Philly

While many feel Naval Square is best suited for families, as a single dude I have loved my experience there. Rent is cheap, amenities are amazing, and I am a $3.70 Uber pool or short walk from Rittenhouse. My daily commute to school is only 5 minutes by bike, and with the expected completion of the Children's Hospital in the Spring of 2017, the area will continue to develop and grow.

About Devil's Pocket

At only 3 square blocks, many miss the smaller neighborhood of Devil's Pocket. Tucked in between Fitler Square, Graduate Hospital, and Grays Ferry, Devil's Pocket is home to a large Irish-American population. Gentrification has brought some local businesses to the area, such as Thai Square and Devil...

Devil's Pocket Reviews

36 reviews
This neighborhood feels like a small, tight-knit community - I see friends around the neighborhood all the time! Once I lost my wallet nearby and a complete stranger tracked down my email to return it to me, with nothing missing. I love living here!
Quiet, friendly neighborhood with lots of grocery stores, convenience stores, and small restaurants nearby.
This small neighborhood is just south of Naval Square and offers an affordable alternative to Rittenhouse for those seeking a larger living space. The streets are very narrow but generally offer decent parking. The nearby power plant produces some mechanical hum, but never strange smells or smoke. The neighborhood is very close to the South Street bridge, offering excellent bike and foot access to UPenn and the Schuylkill River Trail. The neighbors are a combination of med school residents, nurses, and other local Philadelphians. The neighborhood has a safe feel and is generally very quiet.
Close to campus, relatively quiet, some restaurants nearby, only nearby grocery store is overpriced, lots of vets and pet stores, nice place for young professionals
Devil's Pocket is a cute , primarily residential neighborhood within walking distance to Rittenhouse House Square and University City.
Graduate Hospital/ Devil's Pocket is exploding with growth, including new local grocers, parks and green space. A great community
Highly residential and quiet. Not a lot of restaurants/bars in the immediate area, but plenty of options a short walk away.
Slowly gentrifying, with some good community and local business sponsored programming at the nearby Grays Ferry Triangles.
