Horrible

-hazardous: elevator malfunctions often, I was stuck in an elevator for over 30 minutes, and there was no signal and the emergency button was not working. Management has a gate in between the 5th and the 6th floor that only maintenance can open so staircase acessibility is extremely low. In cases of fire alarms, the elevators do not function and residents cannot get to the first floor because of the gate.
-frequent system malfunctions: fire alarm goes off very frequently, I had several fire alarms go off during interviews and I could not relocate because of the issues discussed above.
-unfriendly management: After I was stuck in an elevator, I told management what had happened and they told me "we do our routine check-ups, what do you want". More care should be placed into the safety of the residents. Additionally, management is very slow at responding (on average takes them a week to respond to emails).
-dishonest practices: bad/slow at returning security deposits. Despite indicating a deadline of 2 mths on the contract, they took over 4 mths to return it. It took numerous phone calls and emails. Told me the security deposit was 1950 when I paid 2450. Had to find proof to present it to them. Told me the aparment is quiet and there were no constructions in the vincinity - there was an ongoing building construction for the full year I lived there (even at 2AM). Never responds to noise complaints. Had severe dog barking issues from neighbor but management never took action. Utilities are much higher (2~4 times) than similar residences (i.e. Paid $150~200 but the chestnut pays around $50 for a similarly sized unit). Make sure to have everything in writing if you do decide to live here.

Convenient, but not worth the money

The only good things about Arrive are probably its distance to Penn Law and quietness. However, there are lots of shortcomings including waiting super long time for the elevator (for an entire week, there was only 1 elevator functioning, I had to use stairs multiple times and I lived 20+ floor), incorrect electricity bills. Also, even though they provide free printing, the printer has been broken for 2 months, not to mention during the time when the printer did function, the paper always ran out and they won't replenish.

Great Place to Live Overall.

Love the space; plenty of room, tons of storage, walls are thick and neighbors are quiet. Management is overloaded thus somewhat unresponsive to issues; the coffee machine on the 6th is often out of order for weeks at a time, and I have not gotten a mailbox key despite living there for 3 months. But, so long as there are not issues, it's a perfect place to live. Also a 5 minute walk from the law school and I feel very safe!!

Arrive Univ City Review

Love my apartment. Very spacious and good separation with quarter wall for a studio. Only complaint is the fire alarm for the building has been going off a lot which is annoying. Also wish my apt had windows that open - check for ones that do, but ventilation is good so not really a problem. No pest issues thus far, and maintenance is usually timely. Safe neighborhood. Had a $3k discount because they were running a special when I looked in May. Look early if you can!

Close to hospital

I chose this apartment for its amenities (pool, gym) and for its proximity to the hospital (~12-15 min walk). The pool is advertised as heated but was not heated in the past 2 years despite bringing it up to management. Additionally, the lanternfly situation at our building was out of control this past year without any change in handling by administration. Our building seemed like ground zero for lanternflies. Overall, it's a good place to live but overpriced and management needs to be more responsive to resident needs.

Lovely apartments, pricey

We really enjoy it here. I (obviously) took out a larger loan to cover expenses, but there is a beautiful rooftop pool and patio with a fire pit and grills as well as a gym and study rooms. It's expensive, but for us it's been worth it. There is key card entry so its secure and the front desk people receive packages so they don't get left out.

Arrive

Management is very responsive and the building is well secured. Gym and amenities are great and well kept. Typically quiet but noise does leak a bit, probably standard for apartment living in a large city. There were several issues with plumbing/leaks and while they were frustrating, maintenance is very responsive and good at their job.

No complaints

Great place to live, lots of amenities, convenient mail service, great front desk people. I love the huge windows, cleanliness, and quiet. I have no complaints about living here, but it hasn't been the most cost-efficient in covid, because I haven't been able to take advantage of public spaces like the gym, pool, and meeting areas (which are open, but I don't feel comfortable using them). There's not much to do around here in terms of food/bars/parks, but it's close to Penn Law and groceries are a reasonable distance (close to Giant Heirloom and walkable to Acme).

University City Reviews

University City feels very safe with so many students living in the area as well as the added presence of University security. There are plenty of restaurants and easy access to basic necessities (e.g. grocery store, pharmacy). I really like it because it makes getting to work super convenient and street parking is much more available for visitors (or if you're like me and occasionally borrow your parents' car) compared to other areas of the city. It is also very close to the Schuylkill River Trail for walking/running/biking, is a quick walk into Center City, and gives you easy access to a variety of public transportation as well as major highways.
I love living in this neighborhood! There are a few parks nearby, and there's all kinds of great food places. I definitely try to be cautious and aware of my surroundings, but overall I feel very safe where I live. I love that I can easily walk to school and that the SEPTA trolley lines go right past my house- easy to get to center city for internships, etc.

Lately it has gotten a little noisy at night on my street, but otherwise I have few complaints about the neighborhood.
Living along Baltimore Ave is great - tons of small shops, restaurants, and bars. It's also really easy to get to school or center city on the trolleys. Neighborhood has all the city amenities but is way cheaper and quieter than center city.
I am in UCity, right across the street from the law school. It's quiet but it is kind of far from rittenhouse and center city. There are only a few restaurants and bars around here, but its a short uber into the city.
University City is a bustling college town with plenty of bars, restaurants and nightlife. You don't need to go far to find whatever is you're looking for.
For Penn students, the location is perfect, less than a five minute walk to school. There are bars, food, etc though center city offers more options.
Very close to university and law school. Good fast food options. A bit far from downtown
Nice and clean, seemingly safe, not much to do in the area though
