Philadelphia’s Best Value In Condo Living
The 37-story tall Academy House in Philadelphia is the first purpose-built Condominium building in Center City, and with 552 residences it is also one of the largest. This impressive size gives Academy House uncommon economies of scale, making it one of the most affordable condo buildings in the Rittenhouse Square area, and by far the best value. You'll find condos for sale and condos for rent ranging in size from junior 1-bedrooms all the way up to expansive multi-unit “condo estates.” In recent years, the Association has invested more than $10 million in updates to all of its common areas, including hallways, the lobby, grand Locust Street arcade entrance, outdoor terrace plaza, and brand new Fitness and Aquatic Center.
Unlike most other condos in Philadelphia, HOA fees at Academy House include all utilities and all amenities with no extra fees. Our size also gives us the resources to employ a large staff of 25 exceptional people dedicated to keeping the building well-maintained, running smoothly, and delivering a high level of personal service. Whether it is our attentive front desk staff, skilled in-house maintenance team, meticulous housekeeping crew, or watchful security guards . . . everyone is trained to care about our building and care about our residents.
The Academy House is a diverse community and is home to families with young children, young professionals, empty nesters, graduate students, and seniors as well as people of all ethnicities, cultures and gender identities. All are welcome at Academy House.
Our professionals at the front desk will greet and announce your visitors, sign-for and store your packages, receive and hold your dry cleaning, get you a cab. All professionals are trained to provide whatever assistance you need.
Academy House is one of the only condos in the city with live-in maintenance professionals who are available to handle emergencies at any time of day or night. They are also available to take care of service issues inside your unit, from clogged drains to touch-up painting.
Designed by fitness professionals, the brand new facility features two state-of-the-art endless swim-in-place pools, a hot tub, a large aerobics area, free weights area, core strengthening area, and separate Yoga room with free subscription to interactive Fitness-On-Demand™ courses.
