Excellent floor plans and neighborhood

I love The Granary. The floor plans are spacious and attractive, with all the in-unit amenities I required. It is conveniently located by Target and Whole Foods, with Trader Joe's and Giant on my walk home from the law school. The commute to school is quite easy to walk, but there is also a convenient bus route practically door-to-door.

Heart of city with dose of suburbia

Overall, I’ve enjoyed living at the Granary. Its location somewhat removed from Center City means I’m not always getting distracted by the goings of the city, and the Fairmount area is very beautiful, sporting several museums and other amenities nearby. Highly recommend!

Amazing apartment

I was the first to live in this apartment. I have been here 3 years and I love it. the location is great, whole foods near by a gym, great places to eat. very close to Center City. I couldn't say enough good things about the staff they are very helpful. the only draw back is the price but I think it is worth it.

Well worth the price

I have lived here for almost 2 years. It is on the more expensive side but it is well worth it for someone in residency or in any busy career. Everything is new (approx 3 years) so there is no worrying about things breaking down and if there is an issue, maintenance and front desk are available 24/7. The building is clean, lots of young professionals especially medical residents/fellows, 10-15 minute walk into Center City but you don't have to deal with Center City traffic. Neighborhood is safe and there is a Whole Foods around the corner. The apartments are beautiful and include all new appliances. There is a rooftop area with a grill, community space which is great for hosting parties or lounging, gym is accessible 24/7, and the property management organizes free happy hours and activities every 2 months or so. Lots of dogs. Favorite part is the coffee machine in the lobby where I get coffee-to-go every morning before heading out to work. I am very happy living here and will be sad when I have to move!

If you're looking for amenities, this place is it!

I've been living at the Granary for 2 years and have resigned our lease for a third. It's been great. Everything is updated. We're talking all kitchen appliances, washer/dryers, fixtures, flooring - it's all new. The gym, common rec area, and rooftop terrace are amazing. Even better than all of that is the level of service you receive. The staff are so friendly and help with everything from mailing and receiving your packages, to arranging cab rides, to requesting maintenance services, and the list goes on and on. The price may be a bit high for the amount of living space in the actual apartment, but after shopping around we found it to be comparable to other high rise apartments in the area. Very happy with this place!

Great Property / High Cost

The Granary is a great property provided you have the bank account to support it! Expect to pay $2,000+ easily for a 1 BR - decent sized, with a gorgeous kitchen. The bedroom for the 1 BR is small - will only fit a Queen and you will need to mount your TV.

It's a shame electric and water is no longer included - it's quite steep ($60-$130 AND $20-30 per month respectively). The amenities are nice - great gym and social center. They used to do happy hour every week, but that's decreased to about once a month, if that.

The rooftop is quite nice, with a grill to boot. Be wary though - apparently you're not longer allowed to have more than X number of visitors depending on the time. For July 4th, there were security guards and you couldn't have more than 4 people upstairs. Liability and all.

Management is very good at taking care of issues when they arise whether it's sanding the nice butcher block island or simply changing the lightbulb.

Again - as long as you're OK with paying the price, the Granary should suit your needs. Great property.

Fairmount Reviews

53 reviews
Very quaint, quiet neighborhood. Hear some kids in the morning playing in the street in the summer but that's about it. Lots of people walking dogs. The kind of people who will shovel your sidewalk when it snows without you asking. Really great crowd around here with good parks, I have always felt safe with the exception of a few areas north of where I live.
I couldn’t love my neighborhood more! Close to center city but outside the hustle. Next to the art museums and park. Wonderful neighbors, great local businesses, and a strong sense of community.
Love my neighborhood, its a bit quiet but still has tons of places to eat and drink.
When I first moved to Philadelphia (from out of state) I lived in a building in Center City because I wanted the central location closer to non-school activities and thought it might be safer. Now that I've moved, I vastly prefer Fairmount/Spring Garden. CC, especially where I lived, was very loud. Groceries can be a bit of a pain because I don't have a car (although this is improved now that there is a new Trader Joe's ~5 blocks away on Arch and a new CVS at Spring Garden!) I think it is about pretty much as safe as CC - fewer people around, which can go either way, but more residential and in a really beautiful area especially west of Broad St. Compared to CC there isn't quite as much to do, but there are still some bars and restaurants and there are relatively close coffee shops to study at if that's your thing. Lots of other students live in the area as well.
Fairmount is an excellent area to live in. It is walking distance to the Schuylkill trail, great for biking to work, exercising or relaxing by the river. The area has great restaurants, easy-to-find parking and an excellent massive Whole Foods with 4 restaurants inside. It is also very easy to walk to downtown Philly (15-40 min walk for most of Center City and University City).
Pros: close-knit neighborhood where residents look out for each other and know each others' names, lots of families and students, low noise, walkable to Girard and Fairmount BSL stops, close to Fairmount Ave shops and restaurants, overall v. safe feel

Cons: be careful and use common sense walking around Girard and Broad at night - some blocks are sketchier than others
The Fairmount area is a great place to live. It is close to a lot of the city's attractions and art, and equally close to some great outdoor space. The neighborhood is generally pretty quiet, and parking is easier than in Center City. There are a lot of coffee shops, restaurants, and pubs within easy walking distance. There are a lot of neighborhood events, especially in the summer, that are great to attend. The major downfall (if you see it that way) is the city run events that happen at the art museum from time to time. These really close down the neighborhood and make parking and driving really hard. But, they are usually fun to attend or spectate.
I absolutely loves the location. Easy walk to work, good food options ranging from fine dining to late-night pizza to bars. It's close to a Whole Foods and a local family owned market called Kleins. Unfortunately, Fairmount is only assessable by bus. City Hall and 30th Street Station is a 30 minute walk away if you need to take the MFL or Regional Rail lines.
