Homes in University City

Almost all
rentals.

Nearly every home here is rented, and most are in large apartment buildings. Plenty of them are new since 2000.

01
Campus blocks

Between 30th and 39th Streets it feels like a big campus. Three high-rise dorms make up Penn’s Superblock.

02
West of 40th

West of 40th Street the buildings get smaller: student housing, apartment buildings and family homes. For decades, 40th was the invisible campus line.

03
Split twins

Many old houses around here have been split into apartments, most often three-story twins. Tell us the unit, the floor and the door.

04
Studios + one-bedrooms

Most homes are studios and one-bedrooms. A small unit suits a quick move-out or a short Special.

Parking + access

Two-hour kiosks,
real spots.

Most kiosks here have a two-hour limit.
Tell us where the cleaners can park.

Kiosk limits

Most University City kiosks have a two-hour limit, longer in the evening. A deep clean can run past it, so tell us where to park.

No double-parking

The cleaners need a real spot, not a double-park, so point us to one in your booking notes: a garage, a visitor space or your driveway.

Building rules

Apartment buildings set their own move-out and elevator rules. Add them to your booking notes, with the unit, the floor and the door.

Do you do student move-out cleanings?

Yes. Nearly every home here is rented, and planners found most students in the area live in dorms and rental units. Move-in and move-out cleaning is built for empty units. Book it for after the movers leave, and add the building, unit and parking to your booking notes.

Are Spruce Hill and Powelton Village part of University City?

In the broad sense, yes: University City District and the city have used the name for everything from the Schuylkill to 52nd Street. City planners note that the district’s service area doesn’t follow neighborhood lines. On this site, University City has its own page. We clean all of West Philly either way.

Where can your cleaners park near Penn or Drexel?

Tell us in your booking notes. Most kiosks here have a two-hour limit, which can stretch to three hours or more in the evening. A deep clean can run past that, so if your building has a garage or visitor parking, say so, and we’ll plan the cleaning around it.

My twin has been split into apartments. Can you clean just my unit?

Yes. Many larger houses around University City have been converted to apartments, most often three-story twins. Tell us your unit and floor, which door to use, and whether the shared stairs and hall are part of the job or the landlord’s.
