Love my apartment, hate managment

I have really enjoyed living in this apartment. The whole building has big windows that lets it tons of light, so my living area is very well lit. It used to be the board of educations, so there are lots of art deco features in the hallways. The apartments were recently set up, so the appliances are relatively new, with nice kitchen countertops. Each floor plan is unique, and I selected one with really small windows in the bedroom which lets me keep it dark when I work night shifts.

There is a bus stop directly outside the building where the 7, 48 and 49 stop, which give you easy access to the hospital and the rest of center city. It's also very easy to walk to the trolleys on Market Street. Target, Whole Foods and Trader Joe's are all in walking distance. The building is quiet, pet friendly, has a gym in the basement, and has door security that takes care of packages.

My only complaint is that the windows are a bit drafty during the winter. I use thick curtains which are fairly effective at keeping out the wind. My utility bill went up somewhat in the winter months, but nothing unreasonable.

I really love my neighborhood and the apartment. It has in unit washer/dryer, beautiful floors, a wonderful and spacious kitchen. The apartment feels very clean and the maintenance and front desk staff are really wonderful.

Luxury amenities at a reasonable price (if you are splitting the rent with a spouse). The whole building is pet friendly and they don't charge a pet fee! Gym is included. Central air, heat, washer/dryer in units and amazing views (especially if you are facing south). They also regularly offer promotions for new tenants, such as one month free.

Building is nice, not so well maintained. Fire alarms go off like it's nobody's business! Staff is friendly, management...nice enough. The location is convenient but the value remains to be seen. Will definitely be ready to leave at the end of my lease.

Amazing bang for your buck! Absolutely love our apartment - while we are several blocks away from Rittenhouse we're still in a fantastic location close to Logan Square and close enough to still walk everywhere. We save money living just a few blocks further north and have the perk of a large living space. Most residents in this apartment are also young professionals. There is a small gym with all the essentials I need and also easy access very close to the Schuylkill running trail. We are right between Trader Joes and Whole Foods - only a few blocks each way, which makes it easy for food shopping.

It's a gorgeous building in undoubtedly one of the best neighborhoods in the city. The building itself has been gorgeously restored and my apartment is roomy. The rent is raised 5% every year -- a joke -- with only yearlong leases. The management company is horrible, unresponsive, and building management turns over at least twice a year. The building has no real amenities. A tiny gym with dated equipment and not much else. With all the new buildings opening in the area they should step up their game fast to retain and attract residents.

2100 Parkway is close to Logan Square. It's a great location for students with children. Next to Fairmount Park and several children's museums.
