Hardwood floors, fresh paint, and the quiet hum of appliances that have never been touched -- this two-bedroom, two-bathroom home at Urby Fishtown is brand new from the ground up, part of a 2024 construction that brought something genuinely modern to one of Philadelphia's most energized neighborhoods. At 880 square feet, the layout earns every inch.
Start in the kitchen, because that is where mornings actually happen. Upgraded countertops stretch wide enough to accommodate a proper breakfast spread, and the full suite of stainless steel appliances -- refrigerator, stove, self-cleaning oven, built-in microwave, dishwasher, and ice maker -- is factory-fresh, never broken in by anyone before you. The disposal is ready, the drawers slide clean, and the open floor plan means you never feel separated from the living space while the coffee brews. This kitchen was designed to be used, and it shows in the way the space flows naturally toward the main living area, where natural light arrives through windows dressed and ready.
Both bedrooms offer walk-in closets, which means moving in does not require any creative problem-solving around storage. The two full bathrooms give each resident genuine privacy and a morning routine that does not require negotiation. An in-unit washer and dryer mean laundry happens on your schedule, tucked away without any trip down a hallway or into a basement.
Step out of the apartment and the building continues to impress. The fitness center is here for early risers and evening decompression alike. A roof deck puts the Philadelphia skyline within reach on any given night, and a clubhouse and meeting room give you flexible space when the apartment is not the right setting. A picnic area and dog park reflect the kind of community thinking that makes daily life easier, especially for residents with pets -- cats and dogs are welcome here, with size, weight, and breed restrictions applying, so it is worth confirming specifics before applying. Elevators serve the building throughout.
Outside the front door, Fishtown is in the middle of something. The neighborhood has spent the better part of a decade attracting independent restaurants, coffee roasters, breweries, and studios, and that momentum has not slowed. Walking streets in every direction connect to the kinds of places that make a neighborhood feel lived-in and worth coming home to -- corner spots that become regulars, weekend mornings that stretch into afternoons without much effort. The Delaware River waterfront is close. The grid of streets connecting Fishtown to Northern Liberties and Kensington Avenue keeps expanding its reasons to explore.
This is a neighborhood that rewards the curious and the locally minded, and a building that was built specifically for it. Parking is available on street. Pets are welcome with applicable restrictions. For anyone looking to put down roots in a city that still has room to grow, Fishtown in 2024 is a compelling place to begin. 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.
