  • 23 South 23rd Street Condominiums

    Located just south of 23rd and Market Streets is 23 S. 23rd St. condos- a previous garage that was cored out and developed into condos. The most interesting thing about 23 S. 23rd is the fact that the developer did a smashing job on the courtyard/interior facing condos- a quiet reserve of condominiums that come to life every spring with some really nice landscaping and many of the condos have nice balconies that overlook the space.





    Most of the units are flats- though most of the penthouse condos are bi-level. Indoor parking exists for most condos, and there is a 24-hour doorman. 83 total condos ranging in size from 783 sq ft to the large penthouses- the largest condo is 4477 sq ft.

  • The Residences at The Rittenhouse

    Located at 210 W. Rittenhouse Square, "The Rittenhouse" is probably my favorite condo building in town.  I think values in the building are heavily dependent upon whether you face Rittenhouse Square or otherwise, as the views of the square are fabulous and command a premium.



    The location speaks for itself.  I recently named the building one of my TEN BEST in Center City and if my other half would allow, we would move into the building tomorrow. The Penthouse units are interesting at 210 W. Rittenhouse Square because they all have oversized balconies and fireplaces and the views are nothing short of spectacular.

  • The Grandview Condos at 1100 Vine Street

    Most buyers view the condo fees as being high- but almost all utilities included. Nearby parking (rental). Easy access to highways. You will get a lot for your money at 1100 Vine in terms of the size of the units- most buyers impressed with that fact. Med students seem to flock to the 550 sq ft one bedroom units. Doorman building.




    1100 Vine was smart in deciding to limit the number of rentals in the building- somewhere around 25% max. Keeps the building "easy to finance". Hallways a bit neutral- and washer/dryers are common and in the hallways (coin-op)- but can be installed inside units at owners expense. Basement storage. A smart buy for the space!
