AIR Communities

Park Town has the perfect location, great views, and amenities that should be amazing but in reality are very lackluster. The pool is my big sticking point - its a great space, but there is legit no security so families will bring their kids like its a public pool. There seems to be no effort by management to address the issue, to the point that an Uber driver asked if "the public pool has towels."

The gym suffers the same issue, although to a lesser degree. Trainers who know the code will just let their non-resident clients in. The big issue with this lack of security is that the pool and the gym connect to the garage, which connects to both the North and South tower, meaning crazy homeless people have managed to wander into the building.

The location is great, having that big yard is awesome, but I just wish the management gave a **** about the tenants.

And don't get me started on Avana, it is truly a nightmare establishment that causes intense parking problems and does 5pm fireworks displays.

Great apartment! Would highly recommend.

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.

Beautiful apartment and within walking distance to work. Parking available and building allows pets. But management is very frustrating and common area items (elevators, doors, etc.) are constantly breaking and stay broken

I love living here and moved here because a ton of my friends live here too.

Good services, slightly expensive

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 location with very tall ceilings, friendly for pet owners. Expensive.

Spacious, Ideal location, nice management

It’s a very convenient location and almost exclusively occupied by students - I will say that it’s an old building, so there are inconveniences that come with that but the lobby is really pretty so there are perks too.

I've lived here for two years before I started law school. We really liked living here so much so that when we renewed our lease, we decided to do a 3-year lease to lock in the rent. Maintenance was excellent. It is slower nowadays because there is only one maintenance guy. But they do try to get to you as fast as they can.

One downside is that you'd have to pay LuxerOne for your packages. But that's a fair thing to pay to protect your packages.

My best way to say this is that you get what you pay for. $1500 for a one bedroom apartment is a pretty great rate in this neighborhood and it is very convenient for me to live within a 10-minute walk to the law school. And as a woman I feel safe in the building and feel safe walking back from campus after dark, there is 24-hour security in the building. I have no major issues with the apartment that make it a bad place to live (I consider a major issue to be pests, rodents, leaking, or regularly broken appliances), but it's an old building and that comes with its issues: the apartment is not updated, temperature control is tough, the kitchen appliances are old (I do not have a dishwasher), the fire alarm has gone off a couple times randomly, and I have had to contact maintenance for a few random things (but maintenance has always been very timely and helpful). You also are not going to get any amenities here that you would get in a new apartment building. The biggest issue I have is that utilities are very expensive, it usually comes out to $150-$200 for me per month. That's all to say, if you have lived in an old building before and come in with your expectations reasonably adjusted, it's a perfectly fine apartment! But if you have only ever lived in a luxury apartment building (or you're an undergrad with rich parents and this is your first apartment), this maybe is not the place for you if you can afford a newer building or don't mind living further from campus.

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.

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.

Good space but the community is a little older than KJD community. Open area that has many pets especially dogs. Gym is good and right next to the art museum.
