LCOR Inc.

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!

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.

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

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.

The apartment does the job but little things add up that keep it from being great. The maintenance ppl are super friendly but the front desk attendants are doing you no favors.

Food deliveries are left downstairs. Grocery deliveries are left out instead of placed in the refrigerator in the package room. There’s a strictly enforced guest limit for the common areas (2 ppl). Other common areas require an hourly rental fee. The gym only has heavy weights. Deliveries have to be sent to an offsite third party.

Maybe this is just Philly, but it’s annoying given the rent price.

Building has top amenities like golf simulator, rooftop, and lots of common space.

Good apt with lots of Wharton students

I got a decent deal on a studio, so I took it. The building and the facilities are nice (rooftop, gym etc.). Price can be high and is algorithm-driven so often non-negotiable. It is a little far from Campus compared to some other buildings.

1919 Market

High quality building with nice amenities, concierge, etc. but extremely expensive for what it is. Market street is not very nice to live on. Parking is very expensive. Dealing with management is a pain (rents change weekly) and they have no flexibility (I was forced into a 9 month lease because they were charging $1k per month more for a 12 month lease). Overall I'd say a good place to start but better options in the area. If their rents were more reasonable and they dropped their absurd approach to deciding rents I would be inclined to give it a higher review.

I really like my apartment -- it's nice and works well. The receptionists are incredibly nice and welcoming, making me feel safe; however, Market St. is pretty dirty and commercial.

My wife and I love the layout and fixtures in our apartment. They are definitely nicer than other options (2116 Chestnut) and 1919 has more availability than other buildings. Although the washer / dryer are the terrible small Bosch appliances. The gym is ok (minimal free weights) despite the cost. Worst part is living on market across from Wawa. We have had multiple scary run-ins and characters who follow us into the building. The one block distance from Chestnut to Market makes a big difference.
