Founded by none other than Benjamin Franklin in 1740, Penn is one of America’s most historic and prestigious universities. Students not only get the benefit of an Ivy League education, but the campus location provides direct access to all the resources and attractions in the heart of Philadelphia. The University Museum is one of the premier archaeological galleries in the nation, and the many of the gorgeous campus buildings are included in the University of Pennsylvania Historic District.
The Powelton Village and Spruce Hill neighborhoods are popular areas for students and faculty members to seek housing, with both offering convenient access to the campus. However, folks seeking to balance their time between the university and the Center City area may want to consider looking for apartments on the east bank of the Shuykill River—rent tends to be a little pricier on this side, but Philadelphia’s finest attractions will be in your backyard and the university is just a short walk or trolley ride across the Market Street bridge.
