Touraine Apartamentos

Stay away. I’ve lived in major cities for the past decade, including a walk-up in NYC, so I’m no stranger to noise—but this place is on another level. Since moving in two months ago, I’ve been dealing with constant hammering sounds in my bedroom, 24/7. It’s beyond disruptive and honestly uninhabitable.

Management’s response? Minimal effort and zero real solutions. After barely investigating, they first blamed my upstairs neighbor’s footsteps (which made no sense), then installed water hammer... arrestors that did nothing to fix the issue. Their final response? These sounds are “normal and expected for a building of this age” In other words, they’re not going to do anything about it.

If you value your sleep and peace of mind, this is not the place for you. Lee mas

We lived in this building from September 2013 through September 2015. I have no hesitation in saying that this building is absolutely one of the best in the city. Our time here has been absolutely amazing. Here are a few things you will really enjoy about The Touraine:

1. It is "The Touraine" - baby! It is a landmark building, with a lot of character and history. It is a easily recognized building, and has a lot going for it. In all my conversations with people around the city, whenever I said... I live at The Touraine, it was immediately recognizable and everyone has the nicest things to say about it.

2. Location. It is a two block walk to Rittenhouse Park. A one block away from the Avenue of the Arts (think Kimmel Center, Academy of Music etc.). It has about 40 restaurants in a 5 block radius. You can literally stumble home from Philadelphia's best Beer Emporium - The Monks Cafe! On both end of Spruce Street are two of the best parks in the city. The Schuykill River Park and the Spruce Harbor Park.

3. The Staff & Management: They really care. They will do everything they can to make your stay enjoyable and stress free. The maintenance crew is amazing. We have had them come in for the smallest thing, and they take care of it in no time. Really professional.

4. The Updates: The Lobby speaks for itself, and so do the apartments (though you can get the un-updated ones for a bargain) - however the two biggest improvements coming to The Touraine are a new gym and new elevators.

So there you have it, we love the place, and so it is perhaps a bit of a biased review. But just want you to know our experience. Lee mas

The Touraine is a nice place to be at - Locale and central location is a plus

Everyone was courteous, prompt, shared info. The view was not what I wanted. That was the competition. I'm sure other floors had better views, but could not see because non available. Closet space more than other 5 high rises I viewed.
