Good spot for grad students

Well-managed property. Excellent maintenance staff. Private parking is available but expensive. Large rooms and large closets. Extremely dog friendly with many many residents with dogs. Probably not a good place if you have bad allergies. Great place if you like dogs.

Roofdeck is fun. 20 min bus ride to law school.

amazing location, amenities, and community

Located right off of Spring Garden and 18th St, NorthxNorthwest is just a few blocks away from the Broad Street Line (Spring Garden Stop), with a Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts on your way to the subway.

There's a Whole Foods, Target, another Starbucks, CVS, restaurants, pizza shops, all within a few blocks of the building.

It is PET FRIENDLY <3 with a designated dog park for residents. The residents are mostly young professionals, I see lots of people in scrubs too which is nice.

The gym is huge, elite, and newly renovated.

The rooftop deck is beautiful, with great views of the entire city.

It is a short 15 min walk away from center city, so you're super close, but you get to stay away from the noisy city. There's really no noise, beeping, alarms from the street that I can hear.

The concierge staff is friendly and collects packages for us, the facilities are always clean, and maintenance responds quickly.

The apartments have beautiful floor to ceiling windows which let in a lot of natural light. There is a 24/7 front desk attendant who also receives packages for residents. The building is about 4 blocks from the Broad Street Line and there are plenty of great restaurants nearby.

Minor complaints

Some issues given recent management company transition, particularly around the bus schedule (I commute to campus via the bus).

Safe and spacious

My experience at this apartment building has been great! I love that there is so much to do around me and that the building comes with a free gym membership. The management team and front desk security really go above and beyond here. They make sure residents are not only safe and satisfied, but comfortable and feel at home.

Great for walking to and from CC

This apartment has been a great place to live. There are a lot of things to do within walking distance; these include museums, restaurants, convenience stores, Septa BSL, Whole Foods, places to workout and Kelly Drive. Overall, my stay at NXNW has been rather pleasant.

Love Museum Towers

Nothing super fancy but great management, large spaces, and very safe. They should allow dogs.

Great Value

Not necessarily the most luxurious of apartment buildings - apartments could use renovation. However, safe, clean, comfortable, great utilities, and very friendly and professional staff. AMAZING value for the money. Wish they allowed dogs.

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.
