Apartment Description
The Franklin Residences isn't just where you live – it's how you Live Better(R). Experience elevated apartment living in a storied Philadelphia high-rise with on-demand amenities, high-touch service, and a vibrant social community in the heart of... Center City. We offer a variety of spacious studio, 1, and 2 bedroom apartments featuring 10-foot ceilings, expansive windows, and abundant closet space. With our 24/7 concierge service, historic resident balcony overlooking Chestnut Street, 24/7 fitness center, and on-demand flexible workspaces, everything you need to live, work, and play is right here. Experience Philadelphia's most walkable downtown neighborhood, with major historical, cultural, and culinary destinations such as Independence Hall and Reading Terminal Market just steps from your front door. Looking for something more flexible? Our furnished apartments are the perfect solution for stays of 30 days or longer, offering all the comforts of home with the flexibility you need.
I have lived at the Franklin Residences for 3 years throughout my residency training and it is truly home. It is the best building I have seen in Philadelphia for so many reasons! From the beautiful building itself with it's elegant lobby that is always well-maintained to the amazing front desk staff who treat you like their own, always willing to answer questions and help in any way they can. I had knee surgery during my time here and each and everyone checked on me to make sure I was recovering well. All the rooms are spacious with a solid amount of storage space (rare to find in most buildings!). I love that all the rooms have high ceilings and are different styles depending on your preference. If you want to change something (such as update appliances or change the flooring) the open and responsive management will work with you to make sure you are satisfied. In addition to that, the maintenance staff is extremely responsive and thorough. Maintenance requests are answered immediately. I once submitted a minor issue late on a Sunday night and immediately received a phone call from management asking me if I would like to be placed in one of their furnished suites until they resolve the issue which was not at all necessary but such a nice gesture! Lastly, I can't say enough about the convenience of the location of the building. Quick access to all kinds of shops, historical places, parks, markets, and public transportation. Being able to make a quick trip down to DiBruno's or Passero's within the building itself for coffee or a missing ingredient is amazing. In addition to that, the very quick walk from Jefferson hospital has made it easy for me to maximize my time at home rather than commuting. As a resident who works not only a significant number of hours per week but at all different times, I was happy to feel safe and comfortable walking to and from the building at all times of the day and night! Overall, I felt as though at the Franklin Residences, I was actually cared for and not just another resident.
Property Manager Responded: Thank you so much for this amazing review! We love having you as much as you love living here!

Terrific Apartment Building!
My wife and I lived in this apartment building for over 2.5 years. It is truly magnificent. The building is beautiful. The maintenance staff and concierge at the front are terrific. Great amenities on site, including coffee shop, grocery store, gym, and more. A great experience. Thanks so much for everything! -Josh
Property Manager Responded: Hi Josh! Thank you so much for such an amazing review! We love how much you love living at The Franklin and look forward to exceeding your expectations!

best apartment i've ever stayed in
I have rented apartments for almost twenty years, and this apartment is easily the absolute best of all of the apartments in which I ever lived. This applies to pretty much all aspects -- the building itself is beautiful and well-maintained, rooms are interesting shapes and layouts, the maintenance staff is extremely responsive, the doormen are very friendly and professional, and the management company is fantastic -- actually caring about the residents as people and making their stay here as comfortable and welcoming as possible. The gym is also top-notch, and I will definitely miss it. In addition to all of this, the staff also hosted events for residents (from concerts to wine-tasting, to putting out pretzels every Friday evening -- though some of these things were necessarily cut back during the pandemic, of course). Due to COVID-19, all residents were offered renewal without any rent increase, which is really awesome, but it just so happened that we found a house to buy shortly after receiving the initial offer, and so departed. This is perhaps the first time I actually felt a little sad about moving out of an apartment!
Property Manager Responded: Thank you so much for the rave review! We love hearing that your experience at The Franklin Residences went above and beyond traditional apartment living. We take pride in ensuring our residents stays are memorable. We will certainly miss having you in the community but wish you all the best in your new home!

The best experience
Rented one of its furnished apts on an emergency basis in March 2020: I needed to quickly move my elderly mom from her care facility to someplace with me when the Covid lockdown began. We expected to be there 2-3 months, wound up staying 8 and it was the perfect choice. The building is beautiful and classic (formerly a Gilded Age hotel); the apartment was spacious, thoughtfully renovated and comfortable; has a friendly assortment of residents; and it's in one of the most convenient areas in the city in terms of access to food, retail, services and business. The Franklin's secret weapon, however, is its staff. The team makes it look easy running a large apartment building seamlessly. Whether managing piles of packages and deliveries, getting sudden problems fixed, answering questions, whatever - including during the height of the pandemic when every day presented a new problem requiring creative thinking - nothing ever required a follow-up call and everything got handled quickly and efficiently. I've lived in premier similar buildings for 20+ years in Philly, DC and Los Angeles and this was the best-run property I've experienced. Cannot recommend it enough.
Property Manager Responded: Thank you so much for this amazing review! We are happy you enjoyed your stay at The Franklin Residences! Please come visit us again, as we look forward to creating another memorable experience. Stay well!

Great place to live in center city
The Franklin is a great place to live in CC for a few reasons:
Location - very walkable to most key parts of CC, including the subway, city hall, liberty bell, chinatown, etc
Staff - everyone is very friendly, and service requests are handled very responsively
Units themselves are well maintained and neighbor noise is generally not an issue
Prices are better than other apartments in Center City even though Franklin is a nicer building than these other places
My only minor complaint is that the HVAC equipment can be kind of loud if you're on one of the inner prong apartments near the roof
Property Manager Responded: Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We are thrilled to hear that you have loved the location, service and amenities in our community. We look forward to continuing to exceed your expectations!
