The Left Bank Review

Great Experience at the Left Bank
Overall, my experience at the Left Bank has been great! I have a few small gripes about the timeliness of responses from maintenance and the landlord, but overall I am very happy.
The apartment is in a great location and is very clean and quiet. It also has high ceilings which makes the space feel much larger and cozier.

Unclear what this means
Huge. You get your moneys worth with space. The doorwoman is so friendly and nice, and overall it is pretty quiet. Lots of law students live there.

Left Bank Review
The apartments are very spacious and, for its location, good value per square footage for a managed building, despite its high rent. They are also well equipped and relatively newly renovated. I have had no issues with pests and only small maintenance issues which were rapidly fixed. Additionally, the building has a nice rooftop and gym. The location is great for being very close to the medical school and hospitals, but less so for social purposes being far from other common student neighborhoods. I wouldn't say this building has any surprises. If you like it after touring and are happy with the location and rent, you'll end up liking to live here.

Amazing
We live a 10 min walk to the hospital, and 20 min walk to center city. We have a gym and a dog park! Trader Joe’s is only a 15 min walk. The train station is basically two blocks away so going to NYC or DC is super easy.

Great Experience at the Left Bank
The only negatives have been that the community manager can be hard to get ahold of, but she is extremely helpful when you do pin her down. My wife and I love our apartment and its location. It also has some great amenities, like a good (but small) gym, a rooftop patio with great views, and a theater room you can reserve.

Great choice for law students
Living at Left Bank is a great option for law students--it's about a brisk 7-minute walk to the law school and is close to the Schuylkill River trail if you like walking or biking. It also has different lounges, including a conference room and a theater. On top of that, there is a rooftop with grills and a fire pit, as well as a space to "walk" your dog. The ceilings are quite tall, so the place feels very open and spacious, and many of the apartments have renovated kitchens and bathrooms. There also is a package room with a locker system, lots of garage spaces, and a decent gym.

Nice place, management is friendly but flaky
I like my apartment; it serves my needs. The building is freshly renovated for the most part. The manager is very nice but can be hard to contact.

University City Reviews
- Close to campus (~20 min walk, ~8 min trolley ride)
- Generally safe because University City in general has been highly gentrified.
- Charming and diverse community
- CLARK PARK! (and the Farmers' Market!!!)
Cons:
- No nearby grocery stores (except Fresh Grocer which is gross)
- Can be sketchy after dark
