The St James is our home

The St. James is a newer high rise building and is extremely well maintained with a friendly staff. Our unit has floor to ceiling windows with stunning views of center city, and a balcony that lets us enjoy amazing sunsets every evening. The building includes an indoor pool and gym and allows pets. The location is perfect, right off Washington Square and walking distance to all the city has to offer. We've lived here for 5 years and wouldn't want to live anywhere else!

Nice building in an amazing location, but really expensive

The best thing about the St. James is the amazing views. On most days, ours apartment gets plenty of sunlight which I love. The doormen are very helpful and pleasant. It's an older building so there have been occasional mechanical issues, but most of the time they have been resolved quickly. Because there is a "shared utility fee", our utility bill can run really high (~$400/month). You should definitely ask to see what the utility bills were at a similar unit before deciding if you want to move in. Additionally, the rent is really high for Philadelphia. Overall, I've been pretty happy with the St. James, but if I would consider moving to a newer, cheaper apartment next year

Reviewed by Temple Medical Student living at 1340 Lombard Street
I love this neighborhood! It's great for walking around, exploring the brick, tree-lined streets, and picking up a coffee or snack nearby. You are walking distance to dozens of bars and restaurants, including 13th St as well as South St. Within 20 minutes, you can walk to the quiet charming Queen Village neighborhood or the bustling Rittenhouse area and the shopping district. Even though it's close to Center City, you still get a calm, neighborhood feel.

Love South Street! Center City is accessible if you want it, but you're also pretty close to South Philly and the Italian Market.

Amazing neighborhood! Close to Center City and tons of bars and restaurants. A little far from campus - around 40 minute walk.
Reviewed by Jefferson Medical Student living at The Franklin Residences
This is the ideal area to live if you're going to Jefferson. Anywhere in Washington Square West will put you around a 5 minute walk to campus. It's incredibly safe and I love that everyone around you is a Jefferson employee. There's tons of bars and restaurants in the area, all within walking distance.
Reviewed by Temple Med Student living at Franklin House
The building is situated between Pennsylvania Hospital and Jefferson so it is a relatively safe and clean neighborhood. This does mean there are occasional ambulances or helicopters going by, but generally it isn’t too noisy. The subway and grocery stores (Acme or Whole Foods) are about half a mile away, but the walk is pleasant.

Midtown village is a wonderful neighborhood. There are many restaurants, shops, bars, lounges all within walking distance. Public transportation is abundant and always on time, too. People here are generally friendly and the streets don't get too crowded as it does closer to Center City West. Everything you need is in this neighborhood!
Reviewed by Jessica S living at The Franklin
I really enjoy this area. It's very close to lots of bars and restaurants, but not noisy at all. I used to live in Rittenhouse which is extremely nice but very loud and I often was kept up at night by cars honking and construction. The area now is extremely quiet at night. It's very safe and I feel fine walking by myself at night. It is close to reading terminal plus the grocery stores on south street. I like the proximity to the park as well!

We love living in this neighborhood! It feels safe to walk in at night alone and we live two blocks from Independence Hall! With the new Fashion District under construction, it can get a little noisy at night with the construction.
