Old City Condo Reviews

Welcome to a brand-new podcast episode, hosted by experienced realtor Mark Wade of BHHS Fox and Roach Realtors. Tapping into his rich 35-year experience as a realtor and a resident of Old City for 22 years, Mark provides invaluable insight into different buildings in Old City.

Beginning with 108 Arch, Mark shares that this building has a clean, inviting look with its zinc and brick exterior. He notes only one complaint about the lack of options for a second parking space, but acknowledges such issues come with living in Center City.

Across the street, 101 Arch, while drawing praise for its beautiful facade, is often criticized for its rather dated, worn interior and security concerns with an occasionally unlocked front door. However, on the flip side, Mark mentions the hugely appealing factor of this building is the phenomenal dollar per square footage and its unique units.

The National, another building under spotlight, wins hearts for its underbuilding parking, newness, and loft-like look that seamlessly integrates with Old City's vibe. However, some units have walls that don't extend all the way up to the ceiling, causing noise transference. Mark points out that this issue has been solved in numerous units.

The tour winds down at 102 Church where Mark lauds the building but mentions some concerns about the entranceway and aging hallways. Despite this, the units charm with their unique details.

Mark concludes by inviting listeners to share their thoughts, questions, or comments by contacting him directly at Mark@Centercity.com.
