No, we rent only the entire apartment. We do not rent rooms as we cater to graduate-level students and working professionals. You can have roommates, but you will all be on 1 lease where everyone is responsible for themselves and each other (Joint and Several Liability). This means you choose your own roommates, or have no roommates!
Yes! Each unit has its own stackable washer/dryer
Tenants pay their own utilities
The units do not come furnished. However, we do have 1 furnished unit which you can ask about.
Street parking only. However, this area is not as congested at prime center city, so it’s fairly easy to find a spot.
No, but you are allowed to order whichever package you would like directly from Comcast / Verizon. Currently, Comcast services this area, but Verizon is also adding services.
All tenants are required to purchase trash bins to keep outside (chained to railing) and put out to the curb on trash day for City collection.
Each unit has a mailbox, so letters are no problem. You can order larger packages and they are usually either leave them outside the main exterior door for you, or they sometimes leave a note on the door for you to reschedule delivery (if you are not home). If you are receiving Amazon packages, we recommend that you consider using Amazon@Penn in 1920 Commons along Locust Walk.
Since we are not affiliated, we cannot speak on their behalf, but we hear that if you call the PENN Shuttle service they will come to this location as needed.

Everything is done online! Easy!
If you have access to the roofdeck, it is shared among all tenants in that building. However, if you rent the PENTHOUSE unit, its private exclusively for your own use, and it’s huge!
If you rent a first floor apartment at 40Rear/Lower or 40Front/Lower, you will have access to the rear patio / yard area. The patio area is shared between both apartments which have access to it; However, if you went Wiota/Lower, then there is no sharing – the connected patio is all you!
Unfortunately not – it’s a fire safety issue. However – you can drink wine and enjoy the stars and skyline views 😊
Unfortunately not since furniture may puncture the roofing membrane and cause leaks. However, you can bring out foldable / temporary chairs and tables, but please take them back inside when done.
Yes! We welcome 1 pet per apartment with a pet addendum. All pets must be clean, quiet, and trained. As long as they don’t disturb others, they are welcome! Big issue is barking – so only quiet dogs please.
You can walk or bike (10-20 minutes), you can take SEPTA bus, trolley, or subway. You can call UBER or a taxi, or you can utilize the university shuttle services. If you will be working at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center or surrounding buildings, its 3 blocks away.
Yes, we have many tenants who are not able to come visit due to studies and work far away. This is why we jampack the website with as much information as possible, especially testimonials from current tenants. Yes, they are real testimonials. We always prefer for tenants to visit first, but if not possible, we can still work with you.
You can store bikes inside your leased unit, or chained to front exterior railing – but inside is obviously more secure.
Yes, we realize sometimes roommates need to move around. It’s possible to sublet and replace roommates, but new applicants must apply online and be approved. Each situation is different, but we try to help where we can.
No, 12 month minimum and we hope to see you stay even longer!
