Property Description
The kitchen is outfitted with stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher, disposal, and microwave alongside a full refrigerator, so the practical work of everyday cooking is well supported. Whether you are assembling a quick breakfast before heading out into the neighborhood or unwinding at the end of the day with something more deliberate, the kitchen holds its own without demanding your attention. The open plan means you stay connected to the rest of the living space while you cook — no walls cutting you off from the room.
The bedroom sits at entry level, which means no interior stairs to navigate and easy flow between all the spaces you use most. A walk-in closet gives you genuine storage rather than the shallow reach-in shelves that too often pass for storage in older buildings. The bathroom is clean and functional, completing a floor plan that prioritizes the rhythms of daily life over architectural showmanship.
Fairfax Apartments backs all of this up with a community that extends well beyond the front door of your unit. A fitness center means you can get a workout in without leaving the building. A game room and meeting room give you spaces for gathering and for focused work alike. Laundry is available on-site. The building is gated and served by elevator, and a parking lot accommodates residents who keep a car in the city. For residents with dogs or cats, the building welcomes pets with a dedicated dog park on the premises — a genuine amenity in a dense urban neighborhood where green space is at a premium. Breed restrictions apply, and a deposit is required, so prospective pet owners should confirm the specifics directly.
Step outside and University City unfolds in every direction. Locust Street sits comfortably within walking distance of the cafes, eateries, and independent shops that give this neighborhood its particular character — the kind of corridor where a century-old rowhouse shares a block with a modern espresso bar and neither one feels out of place. The density of options means your morning coffee, your lunch spot, and your evening takeout are rarely more than a short walk away. The academic institutions that define this part of Philadelphia bring with them bookstores, late-night diners, and a general energy that keeps the streets lively across all hours without tipping into chaos.
For a resident who wants a thoughtfully sized home in a building with real bones and real amenities, set inside one of Philadelphia's most walkable and intellectually alive neighborhoods, Unit 113 offers a daily life that is easy to settle into and hard to outgrow. Pricing and availability subject to change on a daily basis. Photos are of model units. Parking may be available subject to availability and may be an additional fee.
