I really never post on sites like this but I think some of the previous comments need a response. Someone said that there is no management in the building, which maybe it is new (I ve only been here a year) but the office staff is welcoming and helpful and maintenance keeps it clean. People also had their fair share of complains about noise. By choosing to live in an apartment home, you understand that it won t be a silent private home. That being said, there are not that many students living here, and the ones that do are not throwing parties in the apartment, so their noise is minimal anyway. Like I said before, the staff here is all around helpful. The apartments are a great size and the price is unbeatable (believe me, I shopped around). Everyone has been talking about safety in that the mayor lives nearby, but really, I have felt very comfortable in the area. Everything is nearby because City Ave has everything and there s a parking lot which you don t always find in Philadelphia places. Overall, I really think that the negative comments on this building are outdated, and while I won t lie and say I m living in Ritz-Carlton, I do think this place is pretty great.
