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.

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.

Neighborhood

Not to be confused with Northeast Philadelphia, North Philadelphia East encompasses the smaller subsets of Ludlow, Yorktown, West Kensington, Poplar, and Callowhill. This composite area runs from the Vine Street Expressway, stretching north to Erie Avenue. Broad Street acts as its eastern border, and the western edge runs a jagged line separating North Philadelphia East from the nearby Kensington, Port Richmond, and Fishtown neighborhoods. With such a long stretch of city, the neighborhood offers a diverse blend of important city landmarks, such as renowned musical venues the Electric Factory and Union Transfer, and Temple University, North Philadelphia's premiere site of higher learning.
