Property Description
The kitchen is the natural starting point for a morning routine. Stainless steel appliances — refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and disposal — line up cleanly against the counter, ready for whatever the day calls for, whether that is a full breakfast before a long commute or a quick pour before heading downstairs. The open floor plan means the kitchen never feels like a separate room; it flows toward you, part of the conversation whether you are cooking or settling in for the evening. The bedroom tucks away with intention, anchored by a walk-in closet generous enough to actually organize a life into. Storage here is not an afterthought.
The building itself is where Fairfax earns its reputation. A fitness center on site means the gym commute disappears entirely — rolled out of bed and into a workout, then back upstairs to get on with the day. The game room offers a change of scenery when the apartment walls start to feel too familiar, a place to unwind with neighbors without leaving the building. The meeting room is available when you need a quiet professional space away from your desk. A gated property and elevator access add ease and a layer of everyday comfort that registers most on the mornings you are carrying groceries or coming home late. Laundry is in the building, which is one of those amenities that sounds ordinary until you have lived somewhere without it. Parking is available on site, so a car remains a genuine option rather than a daily negotiation with street parking on Locust Street.
Pets are welcome here — cats and dogs alike — with breed restrictions and a deposit required, so the building stays welcoming for everyone who calls it home. The dog park on the property means that morning walk does not require a hunt for green space. Fairfax thought about the whole household, not just the humans.
University City surrounds you with the kind of walkable density that makes a car feel optional on most days. Locust Street places you within easy reach of the restaurants, cafés, and markets that line Baltimore Avenue and Walnut Street. The institutional anchors of the neighborhood — hospitals, universities, research facilities — create a daytime energy that keeps the area alive and well-served by transit, shops, and services at all hours. For longer trips across the city, SEPTA routes through the neighborhood connect you to Center City and beyond without much effort. The rhythm here is efficient: most of what you need is close, and what is not close is reachable.
By evening, the pace settles. The building is quiet in the way that well-constructed 1927 brick tends to be — sound does not carry the way it does in newer construction. You close the door to 403, the city keeps moving outside, and the apartment does its job: giving you somewhere solid to land. 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.
