Old City is one of Philadelphia's most architecturally distinctive rental markets. The housing is dominated by loft conversions in former warehouses, renovated 1800s-era brick rowhomes, and a handful of newer mid-rise apartment buildings. Most renters here are professionals — lawyers from the Center City corridor, doctors from Penn, finance and tech workers — and they expect well-prepared units.
Old City turnovers tend to be on the higher end of our service range. Tenants here pay above-market rent and expect units to show beautifully. White Glove tier is our most common pick, especially for the converted loft buildings where photos matter for re-listing.
We work throughout Old City including the streets near 2nd Street, the buildings along Market Street, the rowhomes near Elfreth's Alley, and the loft conversions along 3rd Street and Front Street.
What Old City landlords usually need
Old City turnovers usually involve full repaints in modern neutrals (warm whites and soft greys), professional photo sessions, hardwood and concrete floor care, and lockbox setup for self-show platforms. The market here rewards meticulous prep.
Three tiers, flat-rate pricing
Standard (Starting at $1,000) for routine refresh. Premium (Starting at $1,800) for full refresh with paint and appliances. White Glove (Starting at $2,500) for listing-ready with photos.
Pricing for Old City turnovers
Old City pricing tends toward the higher end of our tiers because units are typically larger, finishes higher-end, and tenant expectations match. Plan for $1,200+ for Standard, $2,000+ for Premium, $3,000+ for White Glove.
