THE GRIFFIN CENTER CITY

Excited to join this community and live in our new apartment. Michelle was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the building and available units that suited our time frame.

Friendly staff works with me closely to help me move in. And I am so looking forward to live in this building. Also it located in Chesnut street, which is beautiful, clean and peaceful street in Philadephia.

very professional.the building is clean and well cared for.staff are very competent and professional

Great location for Kimmel and Academy. Griffen employees are wonderful. Very acc

The apartment community is great! The gym and rooftop are the best amenities. The concierge and maintenance are very attentive and super friendly!

Bad about responding to emails about lease. Sent several questions with no response despite requesting a prompt reply. Don’t understand why they didn’t respond.

love the location and staff. Beautiful rooftop with a lounge & grills. Just a few minutes from the best restaurants in the city highly recommend!

So far, so good. I recently moved in, and all of the staff have been amazing. Maintenance is fast, and they are all nice. The building has a good build, there are no neighbor sounds which is amazing and the building is located in a central spot that makes doing things super easy. The one downfall with everything right now is not having a dedicated move-in space like a loading dock. Parking across the street to move in and leaving someone by the car at all times to ensure nothing got taken was exhausting.

Living here has been a wonderful experience and I've never had any problems regarding the appliances or plumbing, even there is, you request online and the staff will come help.

The Griffin is such a great place to live! Move-in was so smooth and everyone from management is so nice and easy to work with. Couldn't be happier with my choice

Fantastic apartment considering property condition, amenities, staff, and location.

Griffin Center City has been great so far! The amenities the community has to offer are top notch and the location is terrific, as everything is nearby and there a tons of cool places to check out with close proximity to the apartment. Definitely has been a great experience so far!

This place is amazing. I had to commit to a place without seeing it, which is always nerve-wracking but it could not have turned out better. Griffin is incredibly clean, quiet, safe, and convenient. The concierges always brighten my day and I couldn't even think of a complaint if I tried.

Griffin Center City is a fantastic place to call home! The peace and quiet here make it a true sanctuary in the heart of the city. The concierges are exceptionally friendly and always go above and beyond to help with anything you need. The location is unbeatable, offering the perfect balance of convenience and charm. Plus, the move-in process was smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend!

The Griffin Center city is a wonderful building to live in. The staff is professional, friendly, and very helpful. The amenities are awesome and as a dog owner, I am very thankful to live in such a pet friendly building!

The Griffin is one of the best apartments in Center City. My roommate and I moved in about 6months ago, and have had a phenomenal experience. Amenities: A Location: A Staff: A Community: A

My experience thus far has been very positive. Really like the building location, the building staff, and the other people living at the Griffin

All of the staff do an incredible job of creating a welcoming and supportive community in addition to always being a tremendous help to the residents.

I have recently moved in and have loved it so far. The building employees are super nice. The only thing we found a little challenging was the approval process for the apartment. But the staff was super helpful with getting everything sorted out.

I enjoy living at the Griffin Apartments. The amenities are great including having a front desk representative and package pickup. <y favorite spots are the gym and rooftop. The occasional apartment get together parties are fun!

I've been a resident at The Griffin since October 2023, and my experience here has been exceptional. The commons areas are always impeccably clean and well-kept, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The apartments themselves are spacious and equipped with everything I need, making it truly feel like home. What stands out the most is the consistently pleasant interactions I've had with the staff. From the friendly front desk personnel to the efficient maintenance team and responsive management, every encounter has been enjoyable and professional. Living at The Griffin has been a delight, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a comfortable and well-managed living environment.

Griffin Center City is a great property in the heart of Center City. The property is well-maintained and managed, and the staff are all very friendly.

This is hands down the best community to live at. From the staff to the residents everyone is friendly and approachable! I can see myself living here for a long time and am happy to call Griffin home! And the location is 100% unbeatable…

Great management team and great maintenance team.Everyone is very polite and friendly

The building is clean and well-maintained. Shawn at the front desk is always helpful and welcoming. The location of the building is central to everything once might need from restaurants to grocery stores and historical landmarks. Griffin is a safe community great for anyone who enjoys the city life.

excellent staff personnel.Excellent location-right in the heart of center city

Griffin Center City’s staff has been accommodating and helpful throughout the entire move-in process. Thus far, my experience greatly exceeds that of prior apartments. Looking forward to the next 11 months.

I lived at the Griffin Center City apartments for 3 years while my fiance was in medical residency. During our time here, there were so many false fire alarms that not only myself but my dog developed anxiety related to any kind of alarm resembling the fire alarm. The elevators are constantly breaking down. On our move in day, we were about five minutes after our elevator reservation time because we got stuck in traffic on our five hour drive. The front desk would not allow us to move in any of our belongings and suggested we get a hotel for the night. We had to park our UHaul in an open lot for about $50 overnight and my dad slept on the floor. Toward the end of our lease, we had two and a half months where we needed to stay in our unit after our lease ended. They used to offer a 3 month leasing option, but of course when we needed it they inexplicably took that option away. But don't worry! They do allow you to extend your lease month to month, which only cost us $1400 more than our already overpriced rent. That is after we were so graciously given a $300 discount. Once we moved out, we received a bill for around $800. This is apparently because the carpet in the bedroom had "pet waste odor" and needed to be entirely replaced. Interestingly, our dog never had any accidents in the bedroom or on that carpeting, so I'm not sure how they came up with that. Of course, there is no way to prove or disprove the presence of pet odor when you are 5 hours away, so I guess that's another almost $1k in their greedy little pockets! The apartments are clean. The maintenance staff and front desk staff are very nice and do a great job. The location is close to a lot of cool stuff, but outside can get quite dirty (as is typical for a city). But BEWARE. If you want to live here, make sure you have money to burn! (P.S., I have noticed that most of the positive reviews are from people who have only lived here a month or two, or haven't tried to move out. Of course not everyone is going to have a bad experience. I just mean that when I needed compassion and cooperation and transparency from this management staff, they did not provide it. They actively worked against me to make things harder for us. That's how business works I guess, but that's not 'care for residents'. We always paid our rent on time and never caused any problems for this building, and I feel we were treated poorly in return.)

I love living at the Griffin. Everyone who works here is so friendly and helpful. The building is nice and well-maintained. I am so glad I found this place.

I have lived in Philadelphia for 10 years as renter through several property managers. My experience with the Griffin doesn’t even compare to the others. I look forward to being a Griffin resident for years to come!

Love living here! The building/apartment is amazing, the people are great and the staff goes above and beyond to make you feel at home!

Sean at the front desk is absolute the most professional, caring and dedicated door man. Followed by Rick! The staff here feels like family. And the building is extremely well maintained in all areas! Last but not least, our amenities are tops! You will not find a better management team here at the Griffin !!

Outstanding staff, in regards to both maintenance and concierge services.

The website is limiting my response over and over again so i will keep it short I am leaving the Griffin after over 2 years for several reasons. First, I must say that the rooftop is really cool and the management team always does what they can for you. They host great parties for residents throughout the year. Also, the maintenance staff is prompt to fix whatever you ask them to. But why I am leaving... 1) getting too expensive 2) fire alarm goes off 1-2x per month 3) the nearest CVS, WaWa, and amazing Walgreens across the street have all closed down. (should be a hint about the QOL in the area) If you are going to pay this much to rent in Philly, spend the money on nicer facilities and a safer area. It shouldn't be too hard to find. Hope this helps people searching.

Great location with many restaurants, shops, and sights nearby. Amazing service by staff and management made the move seamless!

I love living at The Griffin so far! The amenities are fantastic, staff is super friendly, our apartment looks brand new, and it's a very safe complex!

Griffin Center City is an extremely friendly and welcoming environment to live in! The team is always very quick to respond and keep residents up to date on everything happening in the building. Highly recommend!

The building and its residences and staff are terrific.

Joel, one of the on-site maintenance staff members, is highly professional and knowledgeable. He is a hard worker and a makes the living experience at the griffin even better. The whole maintenance staff is great.

Very polite staff. Building is very clean and great location!

Beautiful apartments. Very nice staff! Its pricey especially compared to other nice buildings but it is beautiful. The staff is def the best part for me. The roof deck is impeccable!

I enjoy living at the Griffin. Being in the heart of the city, with an excellent concierge and rooftop view, makes the Griffin an elegant choice. Its a place you want to come home to and that your friends and family want to visit.

Very clean and comfortable building. Great amenities and very nice employees.

Everyone at the Griffin has been super welcoming and really makes me feel at home!

Clean, quiet environment. The leasing, front desk, and maintenance staff are all very responsive and professional which is a huge plus for me!

Great building. The apartment was in pristine condition. Clean, quiet and great location. Best bang for the buck in the city and I looked at over 20 different buildings

Ive been at The Griffin for one week and am beyond pleased with my apartment, the building and the welcoming staff. Id highly recommend checking out the building if youre seeking a great apartment in a great location.

Going on 4 years! Just renewed my lease for another 18 months! Rob and Eric, the management team , are a real class act! They take their jobs seriously, hence; they take the residents concerns seriously! I have so many amazing things to say about how they have treated me here... way to long to write. A plus from me!!!

The location is great, and the amenities are unmatched. Move-in was super easy, management is very friendly and responsive, and the concierge team is awesome. 10/10.

Clean building and great location. Lived there for one year
