University City’s Triple Charm: Livable. Workable. Lovable.

From the campus of University of Pennsylvania to Drexel University, University City is a destination in West Philadelphia for students, scholars and researchers (in fact, the neighborhood was named for the six colleges and universities located between 50th Street and the Schuylkill River). Medical institutions and businesses thrive here as well-and for good reason. With easy access to world-class restaurants, superb museums, hundreds of miles of biking and jogging trails along the scenic Schuylkill River, University City is one of Philly's most desirable urban neighborhoods. Domus apartments are located in the heart of it all.
