About The Metropolitan
Rich with character and architectural details, the Metropolitan offers luxury apartments filled with contemporary finishes. A Philadelphia Art Deco landmark which rises 26 stories into the center of the city’s skyline, this masterpiece was designed by the famous French architect Louis Jallade in 1926. Original limestone details and the iconic 1920's Metropolitan sign on the exterior are matched inside with a spacious new lobby, a sleek rooftop terrace, a state-of-the-art gymnasium and art deco basketball court and a brand new resident lounge. With impressive views and a minute's walk to the shops and businesses of downtown Philadelphia, the Metropolitan apartments are made for city dwellers.
The Metropolitan is located in the Avenue Of The Arts South Neighborhood and 19102 Zip code of Philadelphia, PA. This community is professionally managed by GY Properties

Decent price for area, bad new ownership
September 26, 2023The building has a doorman, fitness center and basketball court, and the unit pricing is somewhat average for all those amenities in this area. However the new management has been so money hungry and poor at responding to issues.Review from Apartments.com
Lived here for three years - loved it and hated to move!
March 22, 2017My partner and I lived here in a "-05" apartment from Feb 2014 until Feb 2017. We had a great experience with The Metropolitan. The front desk staff, especially Laurie, are great. Move in and out went off without a hitch, and we received our full security deposit back within three weeks of moving out. The few maintenance issues we had were resolved within 1-2 business days; Fran of the building management/maintenance team is AMAZING. Great apartment and hated to leave, but had to move out of ...state!Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
