About The Metropolitan

Rich with character and architectural details, the Metropolitan offers luxury apartments filled with contemporary finishes. A Philadelphia Art Deco landmark which rises 26 stories into the center of the city’s skyline, this masterpiece was designed by the famous French architect Louis Jallade in 1926. Original limestone details and the iconic 1920's Metropolitan sign on the exterior are matched inside with a spacious new lobby, a sleek rooftop terrace, a state-of-the-art gymnasium and art deco basketball court and a brand new resident lounge. With impressive views and a minute's walk to the shops and businesses of downtown Philadelphia, the Metropolitan apartments are made for city dwellers.

The Metropolitan is located in the Avenue Of The Arts South Neighborhood and 19102 Zip code of Philadelphia, PA.

    September 26, 2023

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on scale of 1 (below average) and to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider needs as part of the school selection process.
