Luxury Living in My Philadelphia Apartment

Not only is the outdoor property of Presidential City beautiful, but the interior of the apartments is so stunning. Apartment sizes range from 1 BD, 2 BD, and 3 BD, with all different square footage options depending on what your needs are. Regardless of the size, all units have beautiful high ceilings, modern finishes, state-of-the-art kitchens/appliances, and spacious bathrooms. I absolutely love the open concept of each unit as it makes even smaller spaces feel really open! The owner’s architects of these buildings, Post Brothers, truly spared no details and everything is just beautiful.

There are 4 different buildings in the complex and each has different finishes, color schemes, and lobbies, so you can find the one that is perfect for you. Talk about options for all! For me, scheduling a tour really helped to narrow down what type of apartment I was looking for. You can do that here.

One thing that I absolutely fell in love with about Presidential City is just how many amenities and perks come from living in the complex. With so many other Philadelphia apartments, you always feel like you are lacking or missing something whether it be outdoor space, parking spots, access to a home gym, or any number of helpful amenities, but I promise Presidential City isn’t skimping on any of the above!

Let’s start with the place where I spend so much of my time; Sora Pool Club. The Sora Pool Club must have been created by god himself (lol) because it is a small slice of heaven. Located in the center of the complex, it is made up of a gym (equipped with a full fitness class schedule), spa (including a steam room, massage beds, etc), and a *massive* pool area with lounge beds, cabanas, outdoor grills, and hot tubs. Being at Sora literally makes you feel like you are at a resort in your very own backyard. I have spent many a summer day down by the pool, and honestly use this area all throughout the year to sit, work, or just relax outside.

  • Sora Pool Club
  • Sora Gym
  • Spa
  • Roof Deck
  • Parking lot + garage
  • Another thing that sold me was the location. Presidential City is insanely close (about 2-5) miles from so many amazing destinations like Manayunk, Fairmont Park, SubUrban Square, and only about 15 minutes from downtown Center City. I love that you have the luxury of the apartment complex (like parking and amazing amenities), but you are a stone’s throw away from so many city favorites.

5 Ways to Refresh your Bedroom for Summer

Ever want to refresh your space when a new season rolls around? Me and you both! New seasons call for new needs, vibes, etc, and there is no better way to make yourself feel inspired then by loving the space you’re in. This month, I decided to do a little Bedroom Refresh. Our bedrooms often tend to be one of those rooms that get a little neglected since we think of them mainly for sleeping, not for hanging out. Everyone needs a little retreat of their own though, so I encourage you to spend a little time updating your bedroom for summer! A little decluttering and a few seasonal touches can totally transform it into your own summer paradise and be a total mood booster every single day.

Gardening Project | Flower Border Around The Backyard Trees

After the holidays, I go into full gardening-obsession mode. I dream about green grass, read all the gardening books, anticipate spring bulbs, and think about watering flowers on a warm spring morning. Until the gardening season starts, I like to blog to fulfill my absence from gardening and planting. However, it can be an all-year thing. Next month, I have to start cleaning the garden beds, pruning the roses, removing old leaves and rotted mulch, and getting all the ground ready for the garden season. Last year, I faced Japanese beetles and aphids, so if you have any tips for treating them early this year, I’d love to hear them!
