Midtown apartments

Pros: Very convenient downtown location, 15 min walk to work. Excellent view. Close to transit. Great central heating. In unit AC.

Cons: Old building. One elevator. Moving in was hard. Management could be more accommodating. Laundry room on ground floor.

Fabulous neighborhood, but lacks proper maintenance

Midtown Apartments' location is amazing, but the management is extremely slow to fix anything major. The elevator has been out of service at least 6 times in the last year. They also have not repaired our bathroom fan since we moved in. The wooden floor tiles have also needed repair since before we moved in, and they have neglected to bring in someone to repair it.

Great location and neighbors, terrible construction

Reasonable price for size of apartment and location (close to all subways, SEPTA regional rail, multiple busses, AND PATCO!) in a fairly safe neighborhood with good food, a Target nearby, and good neighbors.
Construction across the street starts at 5AM and is a huge noisy annoyance.
I don't own a car, so the building's lack of parking options isn't an issue, but if you've got wheels parking is a serious PITA.

Okay apartment, great location

No major complaints about the apartment personally. I've heard that other tenants have had some real problems with the landlord/property mangers, though. The location is absolutely great--centrally located with plenty of restaurants, bars, and coffee shops around.

Great place in Center City

1 block from PATCO. Good lay out with walk in closet and nice bay window in living room. High ceilings. Excellent center city location. Pets allowed. Communal laundry on first floor. Package room with coded access for packages. Down side is its an older building so there are occasional plumbing or electrical problems.

Nice location

It is an old building but charming and is in a good neighborhood. The only bad thing is the management company who are horrible and unresponsive. Make sure you stay on top of them.

Good apartment, not so good management

My apartment is really well located. I like the hardwood floor, even if it seems more a roller coaster than a flat floor. I had problems with the heating that was not working well. The management did not fix the heating issue for a long time. They did it after multiple requests and in more than one month (we were in the middle of the winter). I also had a water leak from the toilet box. They closed the water and left me one week without fixing the problem. Anyway it's a good location and a good price for the location (now that after 2 years everything is working).

Midtown Village Reviews

121 reviews
Access to restaurants, attractions, and shops in Center City and even nearby in South Philly or Rittenhouse Square is superb. There is generally a lot of street traffic and drug addiction and homelessness are common in the area, but typically not a source of harm for passersby and also not much different than in any other major urban center in the U.S.
Best neighborhood in Center City - can't beat the price for what you get. Amazing location, just a short walk to Rittenhouse or Old City. Can't beat living in the heart of Center City, and only a 7 minute walk to the hospital. Plenty of night life.
Some crime in the area, but overall, great bar and restaurant scene with easy access to public transit.
Center city is arguably safe but sometimes there are some issues. Police are responsive.
Midtown Village is quickly becoming one of the best places in Philly to live. The quick downside is there's a lot of construction in the area, but that's also the positive if you're okay with the feel of a city that's constantly changing. The area already has lots of great bars and restaurants, and all the new construction is adding in great new options for grocery, coffee, and convenience items. There's now a Target, Mom's Grocery, multiple Wawas, Sweetgreen, etc. all in close proximity to mainstays like Reading Terminal.
Midtown Village is a fast-growing and both has great mainstay restaurants like El Vez and Barbuzzo as well as amazing chains like Chipotle and Sweet Green. The addition of a Target, Wawa, CVS, Starbucks, and Petco makes it even more accessible and naturally the location is as central as you can be in Philadelphia. In comparing options, you usually can get a bit of a discount versus Rittenhouse Square and Old City, mainly because the Midtown Village brand is still being built up, but you really can't beat the location and access to amenities. The only thing it's missing is a full-service grocery store, but between Reading Terminal Market, Target, Walgreens, and CVS you're pretty set. The main downside can be the noise and litter that comes with being in the heart of downtown, but it's a trade off I'm more than willing to make and has been getting better with time.
I love this neighborhood! It's very lively and great for young adults. There are a lot of cool restaurants/bars around. It's a little pricey but what can you expect from being in the center of a city like Philadelphia?
The area is filled with lots of young people. I don't feel unsafe walking around even at night because there are people out all the time. There are a couple of narrow streets I probably wouldn't walk through though.
The neighborhood is amazing and getting better every day! It combines access to great daily conveniences (coffee shops, Target, Wawa, etc.) with some of the best independent restaurants and bars in Philly. The location is incredibly central overall and transit options can get you pretty much anywhere in the city. It can get a bit noisy, though that's the price you pay for being downtown.
