Clean, very responsive to maintenance requests.

No Complaints!

Love it here!

The Left Bank is great for students, especially 1Ls, because it is a quick walk from the law school. It also provides a lot of amenities that I use a lot (study rooms, gym, rooftop patio). If maintenance issues ever come up they have always been fixed within 24 hours and the staff and management are very nice and accommodating. Note, if you are looking at the building I would make sure you do not sign an apartment on the side that borders the train track (it is very loud) but as long as you ask and are on any of the 3 other sides (or any internal unit with a courtyard view) it is a great place to be!

Generally like living here! Close to school and nice apartments. But be careful about an apartment facing outward- the train is very loud on both sides.

I have moved three times from the school's dormitory to a house and finally LB. It is definitely my favorite one. Spacious, high ceiling, clean, friendly and helpful staff. Not crazily expensive, it can save you a lot of time of worrying about how you live!

The apartment has a great layout, so one could easily be swayed. However, I have experienced many problems that no one would know about until well into their lease. For instance, there are several maintenance issues (e.g. leaking floors, poor A/C in the summer, cheap windows allowing for cold air to come in even when shut in the winter, bad draining systems for water in the bathtub and sink). Additionally, the walls are paper thin, which means that you can easily hear noises of all types coming from neighbors (e.g. TV, loud discussions, showers). Lastly, the management staff is ineffective and often do not even respond to inquiries.

In between the law school and Center City - the main two places you will be going for studying/socializing.

Overall, the Left Bank is a great apartment for law students. It is two blocks away from the law school (about 10 minutes away), has a gym, a study area downstairs, and two conference rooms that can be reserved for study groups! Management is also very responsive. I was really worried about pests when moving to Philly and have not seen any in this building.

There are a few downsides. The Left Bank is a bit on the expensive side - $1800-$2000 for a one-bedroom and $200 for parking every month. Also, there are train tracks on both sides of the building (the tracks on the east are not that bad but the tracks on the west have trains going by about every 10 minutes). However, the apartments facing the courtyard do not have any noise problems.

The Left Bank is a good apartment - it's near school, there's a gym with new equipment, doorman, and lots of other amenities. The rooms are spacious and the kitchens are well functioning. Everything is pretty nice. HOWEVER, note that if you are getting an apartment on the west side of the building (the one facing university city) there are train tracks that run every 5-10 minutes and they create thunderous noise throughout your apartment. It was pretty miserable so I switched to an inward facing courtyard apartment. Watch out for the train tracks!
