Welcome to Academy House in Philadelphia – A Hidden Gem in Center City
Academy House units are anything but cookie cutter. Renovations are welcome, with millions of dollars in unit upgrades approved each year. Our contractor-friendly policies and customizable floor plans enable you to make your unit uniquely your own.
With our location next to the Academy of Music, a stone’s throw from the Kimmel Center, Arden, Wilma, Miller, and Suzanne Roberts Theaters, and a short walk to either the Schuylkill or Delaware river, residents can take advantage of the best Philadelphia has to offer.
Our units are remarkably diverse, ranging from junior one-bedrooms to sprawling custom combined units.
Residents enjoy spectacular city views through picture windows and balconies.
More than $10 million has been invested recently to update all common areas, including the lobby, residential hallways, fitness and aquatic center, and outdoor terrace plaza. More improvements are on the horizon to deliver even more amenities and services.
The Academy House was the first purpose-built condominium in Philadelphia–not retrofitted from a cookie-cutter apartment building or shoehorned into a commercial office space.
Academy House residents can take advantage of a host of top notch amenities.
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.
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.
Water, heat, A/C, and electric utilities are all covered by the regular condo fee.
Valet parking is available on a monthly or pay-as-you go basis. Discounted self-parking is available at a garage across-the-street for Academy House residents.
Maintenance professionals 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.
All units receive Comcast cable and high-speed internet service.
A common lounge area which includes a private board room and galley kitchen is available to residents and can be rented for private events.
In addition to the 288 residences that have their own private balconies, the 5th-floor Terrace Level includes a huge outdoor plaza with huge new sun deck, outdoor sitting areas, fountain and planters. A great place to get away to read a book, catch some rays or have a weekend cocktail.
A fully stocked one- bedroom unit, including full kitchen and laundry, is available to residents’ guests at well below Center City hotel and Air BnB prices.
Most units have in-unit laundry, and there are machines available every other floor.
Off-street loading dock and freight elevator ensures convenient deliveries of large items and smooth move-ins and move-outs.
On-site recycling supports our sustainability efforts for cardboard, glass, plastics, paper and more. Sensitive documents can be left in a secured bin for professional shredding.
Residents can store their bicycles in a large secured storage room behind the lobby. Bike racks are supplied to lock your bike for extra security.
