About Ambassador Apartments
Most apartments in Northeast Philadelphia look alike online. The difference is in the details that don’t show up in photos. Photos can’t show how quiet it is, how the building feels, or how well everything is maintained. Ambassador Apartments is built around what actually matters most after you move in: concrete floors and ceilings that create superior sound control for quieter living, advanced safety features for greater peace of mind, fast maintenance for less stress, and long-term reinvestment that keeps the buildings and grounds well cared for. Ambassador Apartments also has the features on your checklist: spacious 1 and 2 bedroom apartment homes, private balconies, large closets, natural light, select homes with private or semi-private entrances and private washers/dryers, a swimming pool, free on-site parking, live camera access residents can view from their phones, and a quieter, more private living environment designed for everyday comfort. Located in the heart of Northeast Philadelphia, Ambassador Apartments offers convenient access to public transportation, I-95, US-1, the PA Turnpike, nearby suburbs, parks, shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences. A small difference in rent can make a big difference in how you live. Many residents say they notice the difference within the first week. Tour once. You’ll understand immediately.

Northeast Philadelphia is a large, mostly residential section of the city positioned a few miles outside of Downtown. With its abundance of affordable apartments and rental houses, the “Great Northeast” is a popular area for budget-conscious Philadelphians.

Dozens of public parks of every size give the locals ample opportunities to get outside and enjoy the fresh air, particularly the huge nature preserve surrounding Pennypack Creek. Convenient access to SEPTA service, Interstate 95, and Northeast Philadelphia Airport make it easy for folks to travel across town or across the country.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
