Start-up company aims to turn Philly rowhomes into co-living spaces

In recent months, Philly has seen a co-living boom, with developers eyeing large new construction projects that act as dorm-like buildings geared toward recent graduates and young professionals.

But San Francisco-based company Bungalow is seeking to tap into Philly’s growing co-living trend in a different way. Rather than erecting new buildings like those in Northern Liberties and Fishtown, they’re signing two- to three-year leases at existing rowhomes in places like Old City, Center City, and turning them into co-living spaces.

Bungalow announced the launch of its Philly project last week, saying they currently have over 10 homes with rooms to rent in and around Center City, but they hope to grow to 120 rooms across 40 properties by 2020.

“Bungalow leverages a two-sided marketplace between young people who need a great home, and baby boomers who own existing housing stock in areas where rent has become drastically decoupled from income,” said Andrew Collins, the CEO of Bungalow in a statement.

A current listing for various Bungalow rooms shows prices ranging from $650 in South Philly, to $970 in Center City. Collins claims that, on average, a Bungalow room costs 30 to 40 percent less than a studio apartment.

The start-up, which is based in San Francisco, says they will match roommates, provide fully furnished common areas, and cover utilities including WiFi and a monthly cleaning service. They also let residents move between homes and cities without breaking a lease, according to Collins’ statement.

Old City’s arts community finds its way amid a sea of change

As the neighborhood grows, local art institutions must decide whether to stay put or close up shop

When Ruth and Rick Snyderman close their Snyderman-Works Gallery at the end of July, they’ll be leaving behind a very different Old City than the one they knew when they first moved to 303 Cherry Street in the early 1990s.

Except for a smattering of artists who had begun squatting in or renting big spaces in the 1970s at low rates (some as cheap as 40 cents per square foot), the neighborhood was mostly a derelict industrial area and a wholesale kitchen district. According to Rick, “You could roll a bowling ball down 3rd Street without hitting anything.”

Unfazed, the Snyderman’s proceeded to turn the ground floor and basement of their recently purchased building into the new home for their American crafts-focused gallery. They also turned the upper floor a lofted apartment, their home.

Together with the small band of other arts businesses that had begun flocking to the large spaces and more affordable price tags of Old City addresses, the Snyderman’s promoted their new neighborhood and initiated programs such as First Fridays, transforming a hodgepodge mix of visual artists, performers, and designers into a veritable arts and design district.

Fast forward 25 years, and Old City—Philadelphia’s city center for its earliest two centuries—is a different place. “We have the most art and design spaces per capita of anywhere else in the city,” says Job Itzkowitz, executive director of Old City District. And it has plenty more residents than the 80 listed in the 1970 U.S. Census.

303 Cherry Street from 1965 to today.

The district’s current population of 3,500 (going on 5,000, Itzkowitz adds) expects more than the subpar living conditions willingly accepted by the artists who first moved to Old City. To cater to these demands, the area is experiencing a wave of new development. The recently completed Bridge at 205 Race Street, an 18-story mixed use building with 146 apartments, is expected to begin occupancy this summer. Meanwhile, construction has begun on The National at 130 N. 2nd Street, which will add 192 residential units next door to Elfreth’s Alley.

But what will this mean for the established artists, who once moved to Old City looking for big spaces on the cheap?

For some longstanding residents, such as The Clay Studio, it will mean moving to more affordable quarters. The ceramic arts-focused nonprofit was born in Old City back in 1974, founded by artist Ken Vavrek and four of his students from Moore College of Art & Design. They initially met on the third floor of Vavrek’s rowhome near Cherry and Orianna Streets, but quickly outgrew the space and moved four times before ending up with a 30-year rental lease with generous terms at 139 N. 2nd Street.

Their landlord, Harry Caplan, owned many nearby properties (including The National) and was dubbed “the mayor of 2nd Street,” says Christopher Taylor, president of The Clay Studio. “I think [Caplan’s] genius was, ‘Look, if I can get a group in here to improve this clunky property and give them a low enough rate to invest their cash into the building and bring human beings around, then all the property values will go up and all the activity will rise’.”

The Clay Studio may have done too good of a job. Their lease expires in January 2019, and with the increased property values in the area, they can’t afford to stay. The 2016 average rent per square foot in Old City was listed at $24.07, among the priciest in the city.

Snyderman Works-Gallery will be turned into an interior design studio.

Artists and galleries go where property is affordable, moving to Northern Liberties, Fishtown, and Kensington (including The Clay Studio, which will be building a new home for itself at 1425 N. American Street). And some of the older galleries that came to Old City early on—such as Snyderman-Works Gallery and Rosenfeld Gallery—are closing altogether as their owners retire.

In order to maintain the artistic focus of the neighborhood, Itzkowitz has spoken with commercial brokers to try to recruit large, New York-based galleries to open showrooms in Old City.

But overall, the creative community still wants to be in Old City, if it can afford it. Arch Enemy Arts, a contemporary art gallery, opened in Old City in 2012 and its co-founder and director, Patrick Shillenn, is also active as a board member of Old City District.

And 303 Cherry Street, which has been home to Snyderman-Works Gallery for the past 25 years, will soon house the local interior design firm Kelly Mericle Design. “After exploring different neighborhoods in Philly, we chose Old City for a number of reasons,” Mericle says. “We love that Old City has a strong sense of community, and it’s inspiring to be surrounded by like-minded individuals who have a passion for design and the arts.”

Ruth and Rick Snyderman are staying in the neighborhood, too. “In moving out of our building, we didn’t want to look anywhere else but Old City, because it’s really like a little village,” Ruth says. “Many times, when you walk out and just want to go to the mailbox on the corner, it takes a half an hour because you see so many people to talk to, that you enjoy.”

Here’s what you can rent for $1,100 in Philly

Welcome back to Curbed Comparisons, where we explore what you can rent or buy for a certain dollar amount in various Philly neighborhoods. This week, we’re checking out homes at or around $1,100 a month—a price point that’s nearly impossible for some cities. But here in Philly there are plenty of options. Of course, they all range in size and style.

West Philly (1 bed, 1 bath)—This entire apartment in West Philly was recently renovated and offers new appliances, tons of light, and hardwood floors. It’s one of several units in an old West Philly building at 4531 Osage Avenue and the location—just several blocks from Baltimore Avenue restaurants and Clark Park—is one of its big selling points.

Fishtown (1 bed, 1 bath)—This place is actually available in early July, but it’s got a ton to offer if you’re willing to wait a month. It’s located right on Frankford Avenue and has glossy tile floors, a good amount of storage, and plenty of light. Plus, that location at 251 East Girard is hard to beat.

Holmesburg (2 bed, 1 bath)—Just off I-95, and a quick drive from Pennypack Creek, this Northeast Philly spot is conveniently located at 4652 Bergen Street. Inside, the home has been newly renovated, with updated appliances and a granite countertop in the kitchen. Plus, there’s room for one car in the garage.

Fitler Square (studio, 1 bath)—Believe it or not, you can live on your own in Center City for $1,100. This spot just barely north of Fitler Square at 2209 Walnut Street is a studio apartment with a full, eat-in kitchen and a backyard. It’s on the bottom floor of a residential building and offers quick access to Center City on one side of the river, and University City on the other.

Northern Liberties (studio, 1 bath)—There are several apartments offered in Northern Liberties’ Boone Lofts, but the smallest, a studio, runs just shy of $1,100. It offers an industrial style interior with 12-foot ceilings, large windows, and central air. Plus, at 109 West Wildey Street, it’s just steps from the neighborhood’s iconic Piazza.

Philly rent comparison: What $1,800 rents right now

We’re exploring options in Kensington, Queen Village, and more—all with outdoor spaces

Welcome to Curbed Comparisons, a look into what a certain price point rents in various neighborhoods throughout Philly. For this week’s special edition, we’re exploring rentals that offer outdoor space (because, summer!). Is another person’s townhouse another’s studio? Let’s find out! This week’s price point: $1,800 a month.

Northern Liberties (2 beds, 1 bath)—In Northern Liberties, $1,850 a month rents you this 900-square-foot apartment that’s been recently renovated. Off the spacious living room—beware of those slanted ceilings—is the unit’s small, but private roof deck, which has views of the city. Pets are welcome with a non-refundable deposit, and laundry is shared.

Kensington (2 beds, 1 bath)—For a slightly bigger space, you don’t have to look very far. In Kensington, this two-bedroom rowhome is up for grabs after undergoing a renovation. In addition to a large deck upstairs, there’s a fireplace in the main living area and in-unit laundry.

Rittenhouse (1 bed, 1 bath)—No word on the square footage of this one-bedroom apartment at 2040 Market, but at least there’s access to a pretty big community roof deck. There’s also in-unit laundry and a fitness center. Both cats and small dogs are welcome.

Queen Village (2 beds, 1 bath)—Over in Queen Village you’ll find this adorable Trinity up for rent in a gated community. It’s been expanded, so there’s an extra half-bath in the 1,052-square-foot corner home. When tiny living starts to take its toll, escape to the community patio with a grill.

Dickinson Narrows (2 beds, 1 bath)—Not far from the Queen Village Trinity is this home right on Dickinson Square Park. So not only does the 1,100-square-foot rental have a private back patio, but it has direct access to public green space. Bonus: The patio has already been set up for a small urban garden.

Philly rent comparison: What $1,300 rents right now

With options in Society Hill, Center City, Northern Liberties, and more

Welcome back to Curbed Comparisons, a dive into the options available for a certain price point in various Philly neighborhoods. Is one person’s loft another person’s townhouse? Let’s find out! Today’s price: $1,300/month.

Society Hill (1 bed, 1 bath)—This 576-square-foot apartment is in a three-unit building that’s owner-occupied. It’s definitely cozy—the corner kitchen lacks counter space, but there is enough room for a dining table. Plus, the living area has some character, including an arched doorway. Sorry, but no laundry or pets.

Center City (studio, 1 bath)—A studio in the new Latham apartment building is up for grabs on June 15. At 276 square feet, it’s definitely the smallest unit on this week’s list, but at least you’ll be the first to live in the space. Interesting perk: The unit does come with a Smart TV and Wifi. But sorry, no pets.

Mt. Airy (2 beds, 1 bath)—This walk-up apartment was recently renovated, so expect some updated finishes. It is located in an old stone home, so there are some odd angles and corners you’ll have to work with, but there is in-unit laundry and cats are welcome.

Northern Liberties (studio, 1 bath)—This studio is in a new 53-unit apartment community, and although it’s just 530 square feet, there’s enough room for in-unit laundry and furry friends. When you need breathing room, there’s a shared roof deck.

Walnut Hill (3 beds, 1 bath)—The price point of $1,300 a month goes farthest in Walnut Hill, where you can rent this 3-bedroom apartment. There are new hardwood floors, and it looks like the rooms get a lot of natural light. You’ll have to be extra patient to move in though—it’s not available until the fall.

Philly Rent: What $1,400 gets you right now

From a 1-bedroom in Rittenhouse to a North Philly rowhome

Welcome to Curbed Comparisons, a weekly column that explores what one can rent for a set dollar amount in various Philly neighborhoods. Is someone’s studio another person’s townhouse? Let’s find out! Today, we’re looking at apartments renting around $1,400.

↑ Northern Liberties (1 bed, 1 bath)—Over in Northern Liberties is this pet-friendly one-bedroom unit in the recently renovated Cambridge Lofts. At 647 square feet it may sound small, but there are a lot of windows—including a skylight—and natural light, plus tall ceilings. It’s rent is $1,450/month.

↑ North Philly (3 beds, 2 baths)—This 3-bedroom rowhome will be move-in ready by February 1 after undergoing a renovation. It’s a lot of space for a rental, and has some nice character like original hardwood floors with wood inlays. There’s a finished basement, too. No word on pets.

↑ Rittenhouse Square (1 bed, 1 bath)—$1,400 often doesn’t go very far in Center City neighborhoods like Rittenhouse, but this rental isn’t too shabby. While the corner kitchen is definitely cozy, it looks brand new. Plus, the bedroom boasts to walls of closets. The location at 20th and Lombard also means you’re in the middle of Rittenhouse Square and the Schuylkill River Trail.

↑ East Poplar (2 beds, 1 bath)—This pet-friendly 2-bedroom apartment that sits smack dab in the middle of North Broad and Northern Liberties was recently renovated. But the project still managed to incorporate some nice details into the makeover, like a sliding barn door for one of the bedrooms and hardwood floors. There’s also in-unit laundry.

↑ Old City (1 bed, 1.5 bath)—This apartment is located in a condo building right in the heart of the neighborhood. It’s $1,445 monthly rent is slightly higher than the rest on this list, but that gets you some nice contemporary finishes, an island breakfast bar, and big windows. It’s also pet-friendly.

↑ Washington Square West (1 bed, 1 bath)—At 800 square feet, this pet-friendly unit is on the smaller side, but at least it’s been recently renovated with new finishes and appliances.

↑ Kensington (1 bed, 1 bath)—In need of a live-work situation? This massive 1-bedroom apartment is already 1,152 square feet, but it also comes with an additional 1,600-square-foot work-loft space. Bonus: The apartment is right on Frankford Avenue.
