Just some thoughts from someone who lives nearby and considered moving there: The apartments themselves look awesome and cheap. Located close to the El but also sandwiched between two busy streets. That part of west philly is less gentrified than the neighborhoods closer to Baltimore Ave. Also that construction equipment and chain link fence have been up forever. When are they actually going to landscape? Also that building is the former site of West Philly high school. In a city with a criminally underfunded school system, some may take issue living in an old school that was sold to private developers.
