The price for the space you get is great. It's also in a convenient location being close to lots of public transpo options, bars, restaurants, parks, the hospital... That being said, it does get quite loud on evenings/weekends and the windows are very thin, so you can hear a lot of the noise flood into your unit. I just turn on my AC and it acts as a white noise machine that's loud enough to drown everything out.

Appliances are a little dated, but functional. The units are clean and I get a lot of sunlight. The residents in the building and maintenance staff are really nice. While I can hear noise from the outside, I can't hear my neighbors AT ALL so that's been great as well.

It is an older building and with that comes a lot of problems. There's only one elevator that is quite small and it gets stuck/breaks down on a weekly basis, especially during the summer months. Maintenance is off on the weekends, so good luck if it happens then.

I've had issues with mice in the walls, I can hear them fighting and running around in my ceiling throughout the day and night. I've emailed about getting an exterminator for three months, and they still haven't come.

Management is usually quick to respond, but I think they tend to leave you hanging if the request requires a bit more work (i.e the exterminator).

The experience has been amazing. Management responds quickly to any maintenance needs etc. Location downtown is great in that you are still near many bars, restaurants, and grocery stores without being right in the crowded center of downtown. Also, there is a gym conveniently located right here in the building at no additional cost. I definitely recommend this place for students.

Pros:
- Literally on top of the Trader Joe's
- Trolley/bus stop is right outside the front door
- 24hr security/front desk
- basic gym in building
- nice rooftop
- very spacious
- big windows/high ceilings
- utilities/internet not included (internet it $70/month and you cannot switch)
- nice location
-maintenance staff is very nice/efficient

Cons:
- kitchen sinks get clogged quickly (have heard this from other residents too)
- apparently PMC will try to raise the rent $200-$300 upon lease renewal
- units near the trash room can sometimes smell
- hallways are fitted with energy efficient lights so are very dim

Pretty Good

1304 St. Paul Street Review

I think its a great apartment to live in if you want to be in center city but also close to campus. Lots of space for the price of rent. Right next to SEPTA and bus stops which are in front of the entrance. Very easy to get to campus. Building has a gym.

It's not the fanciest apartment, but for the costs, it checks off a lot of boxes and pretty good for the price. Utilities not being included is a major downfall

Above the Trader Joe’s. Near the giant. Walking distance to school

The apartment is not the fanciest in the area but has everything needed and is a lot of space for the price and is in a convenient location to the law school.

I very much like my personal unit. Maintenance requests are promptly answered for minor problems. However, there have been several instances with major issues, both building-wide and in my unit, where response has been severely unsatisfactory. Last winter, all residents had to vacate the building, by mandate of the city, because all water, heat, and power was shut off. The building provided transparency or remedy, aside from advising residents to find space at homeless shelters. In another instance, the ceiling caved in due to failure in the pipes of the unit above me. The building did not bring in a plumber for 3 days. The only compensation offered was $25 to replace my towels that had been ruined during the re-plastering process. I am also aware that staff working at the front desk are ill-treated by management.

The apartment itself is beautiful, with a great view of the city. The price is also very affordable. The only issues with the property are trying to get a hold of maintenance and the leasing office. The maintenance requests go through, where you pay rent, so you have no idea what the status of your request is. Currently, I'm waiting for a response from a month ago. It is impossible to get in contact with the leasing office; they never pick up the phone, and finding an email is impossible. When you do find it, they take a month to get back to you. It's a great apartment if you never plan to contact them.

Lovely character (crown molding, high ceilings, etc) related to being a historic building. Front desk is great with packages. Gym is decent and never packed.

Definitely has none of the frills of a new building, and there have been issues in the past (no heat x 2 weeks last December, drains clogging, a mouse once), but maintenance/management is very quick and responsive. In short, I stay here because its a great location and very affordable.

Affordable living in Rittenhouse

Nice place sometimes management is not responsive

Great location, super close to Rittenhouse but far enough that it is not too loud, really easy access to 30th St train station, 10min walk to Giant or Trader Joes for groceries. The apartment is really spacious with great windows and the gym is great for an apartment gym.
