In the area very close to Campus, prices have increased very significantly since last year, due to high demand for undergraduate housing and the high occupancy rate and high prices of Center City apartments. Many good housing options are available in this area but some of the places for rent can be expensive and in less than perfect condition. We advise students to find out more about the landlord they are planning to rent from, carefully inspect properties and request needed repairs in writing at the time of lease signing. Some of the large area landlords who rent to graduate students are Campus Apartments, A. H. Klein Properties, Sherman Properties, UCA Realty Group. In Powelton Village the Court Apartments and the Old Quaker Building are choices popular with graduate students.
Many smaller landlords offer high quality choices in the area.
The University City area is home to many cultural institutions, a wealth of cultural events, and a large number of award-winning restaurants, many of them ethnic. Programs for clean and safe streets, marketing initiatives and many developments in retail and entertainment are making University City a choice destination for living and having fun. Think of location, distance to campus, type of unit. Plan your finances. Check our Apartment Rental Costs available on line for more detailed information.
