I love living in 1919. The amenities are great, the location is convenient, and I’m neighbors with several of my classmates. The amount I pay per square foot is on the expensive side, especially when I see my friends’ apartments in other buildings.

1919 Market, if you seal a good rental rate, gives a high quality building and apartment. The units are large but do not necessarily make the most use of livable space (e.g. advertising high square footage but a lot of that square footage is in the bathrooms vs. the living rooms, there's a lot of nooks in the walls and they're not clean squares so you can't really use all of the space, etc.). Other luxury properties are even pricier relative to the quality of the unit so 1919 was about the biggest "bang for buck". The convenience to the trolley is really nice as well.

The one meaningful concern I remember is that sometimes the units are very heavily "lived in" by the last resident and the appliances and other finishings may see some damage and use. My unit was not properly cleaned before my move in and a number of the appliances were broken and the fridge smelled like something rotten. Management was unfortunately not very helpful - they all of a sudden became unresponsive when we asked to correct these issues, tried to blame a third part cleaning service versus taking accountability and trying to find ways to make things better.

Great apartment with wonderful amenities and friendly staff.

The apartment is very nice and spacious with in-unit washer dryer, new appliances, walk-in closets, floor to ceiling windows and someone is always at the front desk so you don't have packages stolen. It also has a full gym, pool, and very cool upstairs lounge area. However, last year they tried to increase the rent by $1000! We haggled it down a bit, but then they added on an "amenities" fee for the gym/pool that hadn't been there before. Wouldn't say I love the management company for that reason, and we do feel we are over-paying for an apartment in Philadelphia (we stayed because it was cheaper than moving). You also can't have more than 2 friends over to the roof/pool area at a time or rent it out which is a bummer. But if you are willing to stretch your budget to live very comfortably, it is a really nice living situation. Also the bus to get to Karabots stops right outside so it is essentially door-to-door service. Oh, and there is bike storage!

Very Wharton heavy so not a great building if you want an escape. Side that faces Market street can be loud and sketchy at night. Otherwise a really nice building, with nice amenities and nice 24/7 security

Will hike up rent each year by 20-30% unless you negotiate aggressively or sign a 2-year lease. Not worth the deal they offer for first time signers given how inconvenient it is to move after. If facing Market Street, apartment is very loud.

Amazing building, not the safest feeling location

Nice apartments, friendly receptionists, street not great.

Premium apartment with great amenities and management. Definitely overpriced so do try to negotiate the rent.

Good apt with lots of Wharton students
