Where to rent in Philly right now

The newest apartment buildings are big on the amenities

View as Map

Philly has seen a ton of new construction in recent years, from new office towers to new condominiums. But a lot of the building boom has banked on Philly’s millennials, who have been renting longer and putting off homeownership. The result? A whole lot of new apartment buildings.

That’s led us to this: Curbed Philly’s rental heat map. Here, we’ve mapped some of the best apartment buildings—new or recently renovated—to rent right now. And we’re not talking rowhomes-turned-rentals. The buildings on this list feature 50 units or more and come packed with a long list of amenities.

We’ll keep updating this map as apartments come and go, so keep checking back for more!

Alden Park Apartments

Copy Link

Rent range: $1,078 to $3,726

One of Alden Park’s biggest claims to fame is that Grace Kelly once lived here before becoming a famous actor and princess. But while the historic apartment complex has been around for awhile, it recently underwent a $60 million renovation, upgrading every apartment, replacing every window, and fixing up its amenities like the indoor pool with a retractable roof.

Pyramid Lofts

Rent range: $960 to about $2,450

Divine Lorraine Hotel

Once run-down and vacant, the storied Divine Lorraine has made its comeback to North Broad as an apartment building after a $40-plus million restoration. There are wood finishes, exposed brick, and in-unit laundry, and down the road there will be retail and restaurants on either side of the main lobby. Commuters will be pleased to know that the Fairmount Station on the Broad Street line is literally on the same corner.

The amenity space is reserved for the top floor, where there’s a roof terrace with impressive views of the Center City skyline.
