Great location, nice management, terrible parking situation

I love it here. Awesome location, high end amenities, incredible views, and friendly young professional neighbors. While the Griffin isn't cheap, it's still a much better deal than comparable options near Rittenhouse and the Midtown Village neighborhood has a lot more going on. Highly recommend!

While most Wharton students stay west of Broad, I'm thrilled that I looked beyond the typical Rittenhouse Square buildings. The Griffin, on the corner of Broad and Chestnut, is a brand new building that has amazing amenities and is part of a very lively neighborhood. The building itself is well managed and typically if there are any issues they are resolved quickly. The two bedroom floorplans are actually quite spacious, though they can be a little lacking in sunlight. The Griffin also has the nicest apartment gym I've ever seen. The free weights go above 50 lbs, there is a fully functional yoga room, and the machines are functional enough that I've been able to actually replace my gym membership. The rooftop is one of the nicest views in Philadelphia and it's actually pretty active on weekends. It's a great space to grab a few drinks with friends or host a larger group for a party. Lastly, being right on Broad and Chestnut makes the Griffin very public transit accessible. I'm able to take the MFL right to campus, and can pretty mcuh get to any part of downtown Philadelphia within a 15 minute commute.

I very much enjoy living at The Griffin as this is my second year living there. They provide exceptional amenities. The apartment homes are very modern and provide a great environment. The property management could be a bit more helpful but besides that I highly recommend it.

Love the neighborhood, the building, the management and the amenities. Building is brand new - renovated (I am the first tenant of my apartment). In the Top Tier of best buildings in the city and at better price (and this without considering we got two free rent - months - unsure if this offer is still valid or was a first year promotion thing). The Rooftop is first in class. Amazing view of the city hall and the center city and great amenities - everything you could wish for. Perfect for hosting dinners. And having a golf simulator is great. Management is very nice and professional. The 2 bedroom - 2 bath is awesome - beautiful, big and luminous. Other appartments are also great but only issue is they have less light. Distance from campus is 30-35 minutes walk but the 15th St Trolley takes you to Campus in less than 12-15min door to door. Also best restaurant scene in Philly (13th st).

Beautiful roof deck with indoor area to lounge and play games. There’s almost always room to find a spot. Apartment itself is spacious and clean. Gym is awesome and has everything you need for a good workout. Front desk staff very friendly and leasing staff is very friendly and easily accessible.

Been living at the Griffin for a few months now, and the whole building is 5 stars!
First ones to live in the unit, so everything was perfect. Brand new appliances.
Maintenance requests have been handled seamlessly.
Amenities are great and well kept.
Property staff are amazing at their jobs!
Only drawback is lack of parking space or partnership with a local lot.

Griffin apartments is a clean new nice place to live! I highly recommend it. It has a great gym. I love the view. It is really close to the subway. It has awesome door people. The management is also cool. I recommend it to anyone looking to work in the city.

Modern design, great amenities, unbeatable location, very accessible and responsive staff, building-sponsored events. Fellow residents are friendly and concierge is very helpful. I've lived in a few buildings. This is the first one that really feels like a community.

Experience all that Center City living has to offer at the premier property Griffin Center City. The amenities, location, and outstanding customer service set this apartment building ahead of the rest. I highly recommend Griffin Center City to family and friends!
