Best option for comfortable living in the University City area. The building was recently updated and greatly cared for. Not only do the residents have access to the rooftop, gym, and study area, but the apartments themselves are terrific. The real shining star, though, is the building’s Management. I have never experienced more professional, responsive and friendly management in my 5+ years living in Philly. If only all managers/landlords were like Ilya. Definitely recommend this place!!

We purchased a home in 2016 that the Redblock team had rehabbed. The craftsmanship and attention to detail was great. Going through the inspection was a breeze because the house was done so nicely. A few small things needed to be fixed and they took care of it immediately. They gave us all the information at closing on paint colors, etc. which was a huge help. They also told us to call if we ran into any problems our first few weeks. We did have a small issue with one of the shower drains. A team was onsite the next day and repaired it for us. This was over and above our expectations. The team had no obligation to help us out and did so with enthusiasm. We’ve been in our house for almost three years now and are very happy with our decision to purchase a rehab through the Redblock team.

Our 2 bedrooms apartment we love it. Everything was perfect. All new appliances tile kitchen. Freshly painted apartment. Not to forget that we have a spacious balcony. I love our place and will recommend this place to anyone

Loved the detailed work that was done to the home I purchased. They showed an extreme amount of skill with the work that was done. And I’m glad everything went so smoothly even with COVID. Thanks for helping me get a happy home!!!!!

Professional.. Consistent.. Completely rehabbed homes.. I couldn’t be happier with their service.. And the effort put into my new house.. Thank you Redblock.. D. Lawton

I purchased my primary home from REDBLOCK Realty approximately three years ago and until today I still have nothing but positive experiences from this company. They did an excellent job on the renovation of my home. They replaced/updated all of the elements that are most important (electric, plumbing, HVAC – central air & heat, roofs, etc.) while at the same time giving detail to preserving most of the original aspects (fireplaces, etc.) that come with a home built so long ago. I honestly feel like I bought a brand new home. The use the very best materials in their renovations and leave no area untouched. Three years in and I am still receiving compliments on my home as much as I did from day one. If anyone is looking to buy a home I highly recommend purchasing from REDBLOCK in order to get the very best for their money.

We recently purchased a house that redblock realty rehabbed and i couldn’t say enough good things about what they have done! the attention to detail from top to the bottom, from the floors to the walls to the beautiful staircase leading to the second floor. the finished basement is top notch and don’t get me started on the beautiful kitchen they installed. i would buy this house ten times over if i could! the craftsmanship is A+  and i know that in the years to come it will look like the first day we brought it!  If anyone is looking to buy a home I highly recommend purchasing from REDBLOCK in order to get the very best for their money.

I worked with Adam when I was renting one of their homes in West Philly. He was always very professional, understanding, and inconsistent communication with me whenever I needed something or had a question. The home I lived in was affordable and a great area of the city for the price. I would 100% recommend renting from Redblock Realty, and I would rent another property again from them in the future!

Redblock represented the seller in my family’s first home purchase and I couldn’t be more grateful for them. We went through a program called NACA that tends to be a bit slower in the closing process and they remained patient and worked with us to get us to that closing table. They were responsive to everything we asked and I’m glad we got to work with them.

Rented for two years at a newer apartment complex. The team is prompt with responding to requests for repairs or questions. Payments can be made online and the main method of communication is by email so everything was efficient.

Very quiet building filled with respectful neighbors and is always kept in good shape. Less than 10 minute walk to Drexel and UPenn campus, along with Penn Presbyterian right around the corner.

Great management, super responsive. Building was newly renovated and appliances were brand new. Building kept clean with very communicative management.

I have been living here for a few months and it has been great. Everything inside is brand new as it has been recently renovated. Washer and dryer in unit is a huge plus. The closets in the bedrooms and in the common spaces are massive so you get extra storage. My room here in the city is slightly smaller than I’m used to in the suburbs but i still fit a queen bed, desk, and dresser comfortably! The study room is huge and not busy so you can get work done in silence if you need. Penn dental is a straight 12 minute walk from the apartment which is the start of locust walk that takes you through Penn’s campus. It is a 7 minute walk to the septa station. It is also a 10-15 minute walk to Drexel’s recreation center which is near the law school and library. There is also a bus stop right across the street from the apartment. If you choose to have a car, there is free parking around the apartment and I’ve never had an issue finding a spot. The rooftop is so nice and has an amazing view and is much bigger than it seems! Management responds really quickly to any requests you have too!

First time homebuyer here! My realtor and I started seeing homes late May 2020 when we stumbled upon a hidden gem in West Philadelphia, PA. The home was beautiful. From the outside with wrought iron gates to the grand front entrance. The home is a full rehab with every detail thought out to perfection. As I toured the home, I continued to fall in love and knew before we left that I had to put in an offer on the home. This home had everything that I had dreamed of and more. My home is known as the “gray house” amongst friends and lets not forget the doors. Everyone is in love with them. I am very thankful to have found this beauty. I am also thankful that the matching twin was also purchased by awesome neighbors. Thanks again Ilya and Team!

REDBLOCK represented the seller and I was the buyer. It was a pretty quick & easy process. I found a home I loved & my real estate agent went to work! Redblock was upfront, honest & responsive. They ensured the seller completed the agreed upon requests that came up during inspection and even provided helpful information that I needed to know (such as suggested home protection, paint colors and contacts for the HVAC, etc). There were no issues leading up to closing and the day of closing was incredibly smooth! I would be completely comfortable working with Redblock again!

RedBlock Realty has been super responsive and helpful to us during our move to University City Lofts. They are organized, helpful, and do their best to accommodate any requests you may have. When we could not tour the apartment in person, they organized a facetime call for us and answered any questions we had. Highly recommend RedBlock Realty!

it is a good apartment. i plan to have a pet (I really think about it). it just so nice. It’s a very quiet place to live, very suitable for students. You don’t have to worry about the noise, Very nice for students. There’s surveillance at the gate, there’s surveillance inside the building. Most things work out just fine

This apartment has served my husband and I well over the past couple of months. The proximity to UPenn, Drexel, and USciences make it a great location for graduate students, as well as the ease of travel to get into Center City. The appliances are all new and have been so nice to use. The shower/bathroom area is very sleek and spacious. Our bedroom is cozy, and the neighbors are all kind and respectful. Highly recommend this living space!
