Good experience!

The building is relatively new and very safe. Security guard on site 24/7. Gym is large and clean. Maintence is very helpful and timely with requests. Management is great and always accessible as it is in the building. Usually quiet, though there are instances of neighbors being loud. However, you can ask the security guard to ask them to quiet down. Overall, a good experience.

Awesome location with many amenities

These are well maintained, relatively new apartments with one of the most ideal locations in the city. Each apartment is spacious with large windows. Amenities include 24/7 access to a beautiful city view lounge, and complementary parking, printing, and coffee.

LOVE IT

Tower Place is right by the SEPTA and incredibly clean. There is 24/7 Security so the building feels very safe. The amenities are great, although the building doesn't have a pool. New kitchens, hardwood floors, walk-in closets, great bathrooms, and good water pressure. Very easy and fun living. The other residents are all really friendly and the building consists mostly of families, doctors, and med/dental students.

Good place to live

The tower place is a good place to live. It a new building, was renovated about 1.5 years ago. I had a good time living here, large apartments, good lightening. Everything is modern, also has a theater, gym, yoga room. Easy access to the subway. Can also have parking by the building for additional fee. I lived on the top floor, and my roof did start leaking and flooded my bedroom, i had to use another apt in the building for a while, but the management was pretty responsive but I ended up moving because of it. Overall a good experience. Nice building, would recommend.

Really nice apartments at a reasonable price!

I’ve been pretty pleased with Tower Place. Let’s start with the building itself. My unit is absolutely beautiful. I love the hardwood floors, the kitchen is stunning, and we have plenty of closet space, which has been a lifesaver. We also have an amazing view of the city, though that may depend on which side of the building you are on. Tower Place has some pretty awesome common that partially make up for the location. The game room and the theater room are great for entertaining if you have guests over. Our two nephews visited this summer and the darts and pool tables were a huge hit. I’ve also been pretty impressed with the gym. In terms of negatives, the utility bill is a bit higher than we expected, especially in the winter. We don’t really get any street noise on our floor, but I can also occasionally hear our neighbors. The location is a bit of what you make of it. There aren’t a ton of great walking spots like you would find if you were on Walnut or Locust, but the building is literally steps from the subway stop making all of Center City 10-15 minutes away. It took a little getting used to, but it’s actually pretty convenient.

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.
