Westminster Arch Apartments

When I initially read reviews of Westminster Arch back in 2019, there was someone who called it a hidden gem, and I’ve found that to be the case in the last 6 years. Management has been very accommodating, rent is reasonable, and you’re always warmly welcomed by the amazing staff.

I mention the reasonable rent, since this location is truly something. Across the street from a massive Giant supermarket, a couple of blocks away from Trader Joe’s, and not much farther if you want to shop at Whole... Foods, Target, or the plethora of other stores. Ten minutes or less to 30th Street Station where you can take SEPTA to the airport, or anywhere else locally. Or, you can take the Amtrak to NYC or somewhere farther. The location is also right next to the museum district, including (but not limited to) the Franklin Institute, Rodin, the new Calder Gardens, and of course the Art Museum. Or, take a stroll along the Schuylkill River Trail where you’ll find tons of runners and bikers, especially during nice days. The neighborhood itself is also very residential, which helps minimize the noise of the city. But if you’re looking to go out, everything is nearby. You really get the best of two worlds.

While I’ve mostly talked about the location, it wouldn’t be the same without the staff / management. Everyone is friendly, responsive, respective, and willing to help out. One other great thing is that this building used to be a warehouse long ago, and when it was being converted to apartments, a choice was made to keep empty space between floors, which makes it so that you never hear upstairs / downstairs neighbors.

I highly recommend this apartment building! Lee mas

Located just across the river from 30th street station and between two major grocery stores, this building is in the ideal location if you enjoy making use of public transit to go wherever you like within the city. It's close to so many major locations. The maintenance staff are all excellent and kind, and the building is very nice and well kept. The bathroom and kitchen in the studio apartments can be a little cramped, especially if you like to cook big meals, but I found that negligible in... comparison to the many positives noted above.

I lived at Westminster Arch Apartments for nearly four years (May 2022 - November 2025) and had a marvelous experience. If they offered three bedroom apartments I would have easily stayed another few years. Our building manager, is one of the most attentive managers that I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Honestly, she’s completely changed my expectations of what a building manager should be. Any questions or issues I had were handled promptly. The maintenance staff is equally as wonderful... and prompt as Laura. Any issues I had with both of the apartments I lived in were handled incredibly quickly and effectively. Despite their speed they always did an incredible job with their work. The apartments in the building are wonderful and spacious. The studio I started in was the perfect size for my first apartment and allowed me to have a good division of space to create a living room, office corner, and bedroom. The one bedroom I upgraded to was much more spacious than ones within the neighborhood. Both my apartments had wonderful appliances, spacious closets, and wonderfully lit bathrooms with vanities that I loved. Westminster is truly a gem of an apartment building in the heart of Philly. I completely recommend this apartment to anyone looking to live in Philadelphia. Lee mas

This building is in a great location with the SRT, Art Museum, Rittenhouse Square, and so many other great spots in walking distance. The maintenance staff are so responsive and helpful and the property management are very communicative and kind. The fitness center and common area are brand new and give people a place to exercise as well as to work and relax. Neighbors are friendly and respectful and the building is well maintained and safe.

This apartment building is a total hidden gem! Down the street from 30th street station (Amtrak, Regional Rail, MFL, Patco), from Rittenhouse/Fitler Square (the most expensive real estate in the city), and steps off the Schuylkill River Trail. It's tidy, quiet, and has a ton of amenities (on site property manager, gym, workspaces, consistent package storage). I'm afraid it'll be a hot commodity by the time more people discover it!
