I live in off campus housing run by a landlord group under Sean Pincus. The neighborhood is majority Philadelphia residents, not students. There has been some increase in crime since the pandemic, but I do not feel majorly unsafe. Our building is new,
but does come with some faults including lack of security and some foundation issues. For a college apartment, it is not too bad but somewhat overpriced.

Pretty great. No complaints The neighborhood is safe to me but I know that there are incidents that happened such as car theft and what not as well as armed robberies. But I enjoy living here I donβt go outside much but the only thing I would say is that
the trash accumulates on the grounds a lot and is left on the streets other than that this is a pretty great area to live as long as you lock your doors

Everyone has been very nice on Gratz street, and it is a good place to live for a college student. However it is not very clean as there is trash all over the street. Our neighbors have also been robbed and that was a bit scary. The apartment is in close
proximity to the campus and there is a nice little corner store right near us. It is a very good first apartment.
