Close to Center City & Temple University
Ideally located very close to Temple University and offering excellent access to Center City Philadelphia. Catch the bus to downtown right in front of the building, or walk just two blocks to the train making commuting to work, school, restaurants and nightlife remarkably convenient.

Enjoy easy access to Center City, Temple University, Midtown Village, Washington Square West, the Avenue of the Arts, restaurants, cafes, nightlife, galleries and Philadelphia's cultural attractions.
