4247 LOCUST STREET #11PHILADELPHIA, PA 19104

Built in 1927 and reborn for modern living, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence at Fairfax Apartments carries the quiet confidence of a building that has stood through nearly a century of Philadelphia history. At 900 square feet, the floor plan is open and thoughtfully arranged, giving each room room to breathe without wasting a single inch of space. The kitchen anchors the living area with the kind of presence that makes cooking feel intentional rather than incidental. Stainless steel appliances line the space in clean, purposeful order — a dishwasher for the aftermath of dinner parties, a refrigerator with enough depth to stock a proper Sunday meal, a microwave for the mornings when time is short, and a disposal that handles the rest. The open layout means whoever is at the stove stays part of the conversation happening in the living room, the counter becoming a natural gathering point between the two. Picture a Saturday morning here: coffee already brewing, eggs on the way, and enough counter space to do both without choreography. Each bedroom is well-proportioned, and both come with walk-in closets that bring a level of storage most city apartments quietly skip over. One bedroom sits at entry level, which is a practical convenience worth noticing — no navigating stairs in the middle of the night, easy access for anyone who prefers a ground-floor sleeping arrangement. Two full bathrooms mean mornings run smoother, whether you're sharing the space with a roommate, a partner, or a guest who stayed an extra night. The building itself reflects its era with the kind of bones that newer construction rarely replicates, while offering the conveniences that make day-to-day life in the city genuinely comfortable. An elevator serves the building, so groceries and move-in day are easier than they might otherwise be. A fitness center means the morning run doesn't depend on weather. A game room and meeting room offer flexible space beyond the four walls of the apartment — whether that's a low-key evening in or a space to bring colleagues together outside of an office. Laundry is available in the building, parking is on-site in the lot, and the gated property adds a layer of order to coming and going. For residents with pets, Fairfax Apartments is genuinely welcoming — cats and dogs are both allowed, subject to breed restrictions and a required deposit. A dedicated dog park on the property means your dog has a proper place to run without leaving the building. Philadelphia's walkable fabric is part of what makes this address feel less like a rental and more like a decision to live somewhere with character. The surrounding blocks offer the kind of neighborhood rhythm that fills a week naturally — coffee shops worth returning to, restaurants that earn regular spots in the rotation, and independent businesses that give a stretch of city streetscape its identity. Running errands, meeting a friend for lunch, or finding a quiet place to read for an hour are all within reach without requiring a car. When the city does call — a meeting downtown, an evening out, a weekend across town — the transit network that connects Philadelphia's neighborhoods puts those destinations within practical reach, making this address as well-connected as it is livable. Pricing and availability subject to change on a daily basis. Photos are of model units. Parking may be available subject to availability and may be an additional fee.
