My wife and I lived at The National Old City from September 2022 to March 2025, and our experience was absolutely wonderful. From day one, Amanda and Mike went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They greeted us with warm smiles and friendly hellos every time we entered the building, and it was clear they genuinely cared about their residents. They also did an amazing job fostering a sense of community. Throughout our time there, they hosted several happy hours, holiday door decoration competitions, and community even... read more
I lived at the National for 2 years (2023-2025). I really enjoyed my time there and it is true that the management and maintenance team are top notch. In particular, Amanda and Mike really care about the residents and are very attentive to any issues or concerns. That's really what sets this place apart. I did also enjoy the roof deck, the great bridge views, the location in Old City and easy access to the Delaware River Trail and nearby piers.
Lovely place to rent in Old City Philadelphia. What an incredible area of the city! So many different options for food, exercise, shopping and historical sites!! I highly recommend making a reservation with Mike to do a walk through. He is so knowledgeable about every inch of The National Old City Apartments. He was helpful in finding a good place to get monthly parking. The National does have parking onsite but only a few spots. Definitely get on there waiting list ASAP. Very spacious rental apartments and tons of amenities... read more
I must say that so far everything about the National has been top notch. My wife and I are very excited to become residents there. A very special shout out to Amy Smith.

The only reason I haven't selected five stars is I haven't moved in yet. I look forward to that this spring. UPDATE: Okay we now live at the National and it's ju... read more
This building is chintzy for luxury apartments and Old City doesn't really feel safe anymore since around when Kensington was cleared out. A lot of homeless and many of them out late at night yelling or having episodes. One regular in the neighborhood freaks out in the proximity of little dogs. Just the other night (writing this in Nov 2025) I saw a guy violently smashing windows yelling at someone at 3rd and arch. When we moved into Old City a year ago it felt much safer, but we know a few people getting harassed or assau... read more
