2556 Germantown Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19133
What This Apartment Offers
Modern Germantown Apartments Near Temple Hospital – Great for Nurses, Students & Young Professionals
This Germantown property in 19133 is a small, well-kept... multi-unit building less than 0.4 miles from Temple University Hospital and a short drive to Fishtown. It’s designed for people who want a quiet home base with easy access to work, school, and city life – especially Temple nurses, staff, residents, and students.
You get the benefits of a semi-residential block (less noise, more parking, community feel) with the convenience of being minutes from one of Philadelphia’s major medical and academic hubs.
Location & Neighborhood
Under 0.4 miles to Temple University Hospital – perfect for travel nurses, residents, techs, and staff
Short drive to Fishtown for restaurants, coffee shops, and nightlife
Quiet residential street in an improving Germantown corridor
Ample street parking – a big plus if you work late or drive to shifts
Park and neighborhood resource center nearby for recreation and community programs
Grocery store within walking distance
Multiple food options and a convenience store close by for quick meals and essentials
Building Highlights
Small, private multi-unit building (more personal than a big complex)
Mix of comfortable, practical floor plans ideal for students, small families, and working professionals
Well-maintained units with efficient layouts and easy-to-clean finishes
On-site laundry machines scheduled to be installed by January 2026, reducing the need for laundromat trips
Street-level access and straightforward layouts that make move-in and daily living simple
Sample Floor Plans in the Building
Unit A – Compact unit that comfortably fits two full-size beds, a small but efficient kitchen, and 1 full bath. Perfect for someone who wants a cozy, low-maintenance space close to Temple.
Unit B – 3-bedroom / 1-bath apartment with three real bedrooms, a practical kitchen, and a comfortable living area. Great for students, small families, or anyone who wants extra rooms for office/guest space.
Why This Building Stands Out
If you’re tired of overpriced, noisy buildings far from work, this property offers:
A short, practical commute to Temple
A calmer, residential feel instead of a crowded high-rise
Solid value for the space and location
An upcoming laundry upgrade that will make life even easier
Ideal for Temple University & Temple Hospital students and staff, travel nurses, and young professionals looking for a straightforward, well-located place to live in North Philadelphia with room to breathe and a neighborhood that’s on the rise.
