The City of Brotherly Love has everything that you could possibly want: thrilling nightlife, a vibrant music and arts scene, exquisite cuisine from across the globe, and sports for every “phanatic.” While there’s much to love about the city, not all of us find living in an urban center to be ideal. For those who want to experience all Philadelphia has to offer while living somewhere just a little quieter, our gorgeous balcony apartments in Bala Cynwyd strike the perfect balance.
With the city just a short trip away by car or regional rail, you can enjoy Philadelphia’s finest offerings whenever you please:
Nightlife
When the sun goes down, the party is just getting started. Check out the view from a rooftop bar or relaxing outdoor beer garden. Ready to take your night to the next level? Dance the night away at one of Center City’s many night clubs or lounges.
Music
Regardless of what genres of music you’re into, you’ll find unforgettable live performances happening regularly at venues that are as varied as the musicians who play there. Check out well-known acts at The Fillmore and the Met or your favorite underground indie sensation at Union Transfer.
Arts and Culture
You’ll find no shortage of museums and art galleries in the city, including the famous Philadelphia Museum of Art. Looking for an elegant night out? Visit the Academy of Music, the oldest known opera house in the country, for performances by the renowned Pennsylvania Ballet or Opera Philadelphia.
Dining
“What’s for dinner?” Whatever you’re craving, you’ll be certain to find a restaurant that serves it up. Find authentic cuisine from countries across the world, tasty vegan options, and a little bit of everything at the famous Reading Terminal Market. And well, it wouldn’t be Philly without cheesesteaks. (Pat’s or Geno’s? The debate over who has the superior sandwich has been going on for nearly a century.)
Sports
If there’s one thing Philadelphians are known for, it’s their die-hard loyalty to their sports teams. Sports fans have a lot to love in Philly: you can watch football, basketball, baseball, hockey, soccer — and even esports matches.
Events and Festivals
From the icy chill of winter to the dog days of summer, there is always something to do in the city. Cars, flowers, craft beers — there are exciting festivals and functions that cater to a range of interests. Plus, just a skip across the Schuylkill lies Manayunk, where you can participate in a variety of seasonal events on Main Street.

Celebrities who have called Philadelphia home span across various industries, including professional sports, performing arts, and business. Some of the notable figures from the Philadelphia area include:
Connie Mack
Though he was not born in Philadelphia, Connie Mack did spend a lot of his life here. He was most well known for being the first baseball manager to win the World Series three times. He managed the Philadelphia Athletics for the team's first 50 seasons before retiring at the age of 87.
Kobe Bryant
Though he tragically died at the beginning of 2020, Kobe Bryant famously attended Lower Merion High School before beginning his 20-year basketball career with the Los Angeles Lakers. Many local basketball fans can be seen wearing Kobe Bryant's vintage jersey from his Lower Merion basketball days.
Chuck Barris
Chuck Barris is best known for hosting The Gong Show and creating the famous show, The Dating Game. He created and hosted several game shows, produced television shows, authored books, and even wrote a song for Freddy Cannon called Palisades Park. The multi-talented man was born in Philadelphia in 1929.
Jimmy Smith
American jazz musician and local legend Jimmy Smith was born in Norristown, PA, in 1925. He popularized the Hammond B-3 organ and is credited with helping jazz and soul music's modern sound and influence. He was discovered by a Philadelphia radio station's talent show and later went on to enjoy a decades-long career with many notable collaborations with other Philadelphia bands and musicians.
Hobey Baker
Hobey Baker was an accomplished professional football player, but he's most well known for being among the first American ice hockey stars to be recognized by the Hall of Fame. The NCAA gives the Hobey Baker Award to the college ice hockey player who "exhibits strength of character both on and off the ice" and "contributes to the integrity of the team and displays outstanding skills in all phases of the game." Hobey Baker was born at the end of the 19th century and died shortly after World War I in France. The fact that people still talk about Hobey Baker nearly a century later signifies the impact he had on the sport of ice hockey.
While this is far from an exhaustive list of notable figures from the Philadelphia area, it should serve as a testament to all that the Philadelphia area has to offer.

The “luxury” tag can’t be applied to any old location. To qualify as a luxury apartment, your living space has to go above and beyond to make residents as comfortable as possible. So what are some of the differences between regular vs. luxury apartments?
Parking Privileges
If you’ve ever tried to fight for a parking space on a city street or in a parking lot at a standard apartment complex, you know how much of a pain parking can be. One of the first differences people notice between regular vs. luxury apartments is designated on-site, assigned parking. This means your passive-aggressive neighbor from down the hall can’t keep parking in all the best spots. Many luxury apartments even offer garage parking, which is even better. Your car is protected from the elements, and you can get on your way faster without shoveling, scraping, or freezing waiting for your car to warm up.
Swimming Pools
It’s pretty rare for an apartment complex to have a swimming pool, and even if you’ve lucked into an apartment with a pool nearby, many are dingy, disused, or just generally icky. Another mark of distinction when comparing regular vs. luxury apartments is that luxury apartments almost always do have pools. More importantly, the pool will be regularly maintained, with extra features such as a lounge deck or poolside amenities. Luxury apartments with pools are the standard. If you love to swim, they’re a great option for you and your loved ones.
Concierge Service
When’s the last time you saw a concierge at your average apartment complex? It was likely back when your parents — or even their parents — were still renting. Concierge services have been pretty much eliminated in your average apartment building, but with a luxury apartment rental, you will usually still have a concierge! Concierges can help with anything from package delivery to minor apartment repairs and are available to help with any questions or problems you have, meaning you have an extra line of communication with your building manager or landlord(s).
Pet Pampering
“Apartment for rent. NO PETS.” Chances are if you logged onto an apartment listing website right now, you’d see a lot of listings precisely like this. If you have a four-legged friend, you’ll be happy to know one of the differences between regular vs. luxury apartments is that luxury apartments don’t just welcome pets but pamper them! You will have options such as an in-complex dog park, pet spa, and more with luxury living spaces.
Souped-Up Security
If you live in a standard apartment, you’ve probably noticed the average complex’s security leaves a lot to be desired. There might not even be security cameras around the complex, which can be concerning, especially in the city where you live near so many other people. Luxury apartments provide peace of mind with higher levels of security and access-controlled buildings, often featuring cameras and sensors.. Even if you aren’t in an upscale neighborhood, luxury security features will help you feel safer.
Extra Space
Many apartment renters lament their lack of party space or get-together space compared to the available space in a house. If you’re not on the market for a house, you don’t have to give up your party hosting dreams when relatives or friends come to town. Another key difference between regular vs. luxury apartments is extra usable space, such as conference rooms, private decks or patios, or even gathering rooms with private kitchenettes and baths.
On-Site Maintenance
Have you ever been on the phone with your landlord for what feels like hours, only to be told that the soonest they can get someone to fix your heating is next week? Delayed or practically nonexistent maintenance is an issue many apartment renters find all too common in average apartments. You can kiss this problem goodbye if you live in a luxury apartment! On-site maintenance is a massive plus of luxury apartment rental. A solution to your plumbing problem is only a call away when you benefit from on-site maintenance.
Exercise Equipment
Whether you’re a total gym rat or just like to hop on a stationary bike once in a while, exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. And you guessed it by now — most standard apartment complexes don’t have dedicated fitness centers, meaning you get stuck with no or limited options. When you choose to rent a luxury apartment, you can cancel your gym membership and take advantage of a gym that’s stocked with top-of-the-line exercise equipment!
The Choice Is Clear
Whether you’re seeking a living space for yourself or just looking for a way to attract more renters and gain more consistent rental income, a luxury apartment rental could be exactly what you need to ensure a stress-free life. Our luxury apartment rentals offer steady pricing that is more affordable than you’d think, along with all of the amenities above PLUS:
-
Skydeck with unprecedented views
-
Dry cleaning
-
Grocery cold storage
-

Regular vs. Luxury Apartments: What’s the Difference?
There’s a lot to think about when searching for the perfect apartment. You likely already have priorities in mind for your ideal living space. But did you know that these priorities won’t necessarily be available everywhere? Suppose you’re interested in higher levels of security, pet spas, infinity pools, or other top-of-the-line amenities. In that case, you’ll have a hard time finding them at your average rental property. That’s where luxury apartments come in, and they can be an extremely attractive option for people looking to get a little “more” out of the apartment renting experience.
