Decent value, attentive management

Have lived here for almost 2 years. Rent includes access to community space and gym within the building. Main downside is parking--can be difficult to find late at night, especially if you don't have a permit for the neighborhood.

Great older building

This building was filled with a great mix of people from all walks of life. Mostly working professionals, retirees and some families. Its shuttle service to Center City was very convenient and the neighborhood is quite safe and comfortable. There are lots of amenities within a few blocks and it's extremely easy to catch a bus to Center City.

The gym is pretty typical and had all the basics. It was never over crowded. The front desk staff was quite friendly and many knew the residents by name. The lobby was beautiful and welcoming. Because it is a condo building, each unit varies quite greatly.

Great building and location

This building has a lot of great amenities and the 24 hour staff is very helpful and friendly. Great location with lots nearby. The shuttle to Center City is super convenient and a huge selling point. Large mix of renters and owners which makes for an interesting mix of tenants in the building.

Great place for pets

2601 Parkway is a great location that is close to the city, but still quiet and spacious. The park across the street is awesome for dog owners, as is the close proximity to Kelly Drive and Fairmount Park. The location is great for walking to restaurants, and it is a fairly easy walk to Center City (although it's an even easier cab). The main perk of living at 2601 is the location. However, there are some other great perks. I love that there is a 24/7 front desk staff. They are very friendly and accommodating. It is great that they accept and store packages, I have many friends who live in the city who have their packages go missing. The community feel of the building is nice, with a good number of events and a community posting board. The makeup of the building is pretty diverse, with a range of ages and family compositions, early professionals and retirees. The only thing that is lacking is a public transportation option to University City. SEPTA has plans to make a route that connects these two areas, but it may be after FY 2017.

Great Apt, Cold in the Winter

Besides the house I grew up in, this was my favorite place to live. The location is amazing and the crew that works at the building are so friendly. The head manager sends out frequent emails that treat adults like children...for example: "don't put luggage down the garbage shoot." 95% of the people living there do not need to be told that.

The apt I live in is so drafty in the winter and it's freezing. The one pet per apt rule is a little ridiculous too. I mean management lets people smoke in their units...why can't I have two cats?

The gym, shuttle, and dry cleaning service is great. Amazing place for young professionals, families and people of all ages!

Fairmount 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.
