No Issues Here!

This location is very conveniently placed near transportation services and a grocery store. It is less than a 10-minute walk away from the DUCOM shuttle stop in Center City, and less than a 2-minute walk away from a SEPTA stop for the Broad Street Line. It is right across from a grocery store too.

Safe. Convenient. Everything you need.

Express subway stop (spring garden) right to LKSOM is outside our doorstep. We can walk to center city/city hall in 10 minutes. Building is right on broad street which always has traffic and is relatively safe. Starbucks, food trucks, chinese takeout, all within 1 minute walking. Gym in the basement. Lounge at the top. Personal mail boxes. Apartments are solid. Only thing is that utilities can be a bit expensive but it is worth it.

Has Potential to Be Great but Management is Subpar

Tower Place seemed like the perfect place to live - especially for students and families. However, management can be very rude at times. The location is prime right next to the Spring Garden stop for BSL and the amenities are nice - new gym, patio area, and business lounge. The building is seems new but there are power outrages on the regular. Overall nice and safe place. Also beware - you can't open windows on your own, the security guard must come do it.

Modern living space, everything I need

I love the wood floors, recently remodeled kitchen with granite countertops, the outdoor space & proximity to the BSL stop. They gym is fantastic and the management responds to maintenance requests within a few hours. Tower Place is great value for your money. I looked at apartments a few blocks closer to center city and the rent increased exorbitantly. Another plus is the parking deal with the lot 2 blocks away. My car is safe and for no extra cost.

Excellent place to live as a young couple or single with roommates.

The space is open and we'll designed and caters well to a couple or living with a roommate. The two bedroom, two bathroom layout is great for comfortable living space and entertaining family and friend when they visit. They gym in the basement has a great variety of equipment and as a former athlete it does cover all the bases for a basic and thorough workout. Parking is just a block or two away so it's very convenient if you do have a car.

Great Place!

An excellent and friendly place to live! The management is great, and it's a short walking distance to all the wonderful bars, clubs, and restaurants in the Gayborhood and Chinatown. Commuting to anywhere from here is very easy as well. Lovely place to live!

Great location for CC access

Easy to get around town with access to the BSL right outside the door and walking distance to both Center City and Fairmount restaurants and happenings. Nice sized apartments, beautiful wood floors and dark cabinetry with very large windows that let in great natural light. Recently remodeled gym is a great plus. 24 hour a day front desk attendant makes for easy package pickup and added safety.

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.
