About 1700 N Front St #402
Fresh from the ground up, unit 1-402 at Urby Fishtown is the kind of home that still carries the feeling of possibility — every surface untouched, every fixture chosen with intention, every corner exactly as it was envisioned before anyone ever turned a key. This two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence spreads across 866 square feet of open, thoughtfully arranged living space, and from the moment you step inside, the newness of it all is something you feel rather than just notice.
The kitchen anchors the open floor plan the way a good kitchen should — pulling you in before the day has fully started. Stainless steel appliances line the space with quiet confidence: a self-cleaning oven, a built-in microwave, a refrigerator with an ice maker, a dishwasher, and a disposal all ready to handle whatever you have planned. Upgraded countertops give the workspace a finished, considered quality, and with the open layout flowing directly into the living area, cooking never feels like a retreat from the rest of the home. It feels like the center of it.
Each bedroom holds its own as a true retreat, with walk-in closets offering the kind of storage that actually changes how you live. Window treatments are already in place, so your first evening here can be as quiet and private as you want it to be. Two full bathrooms mean mornings are never a negotiation, and the in-unit washer and dryer tuck away the kind of errand that used to define an afternoon. Nothing here asks you to compromise.
Step outside your door and the building meets you with a full range of spaces built for life beyond the apartment itself. The fitness center is just an elevator ride away, making the morning workout a decision rather than a commute. The roof deck earns its place as the building's social heart — a spot where the Philadelphia skyline settles into view and an evening can stretch as long as you let it. When you need to work without going far, the meeting room offers a focused alternative to the living room couch. The clubhouse and picnic area invite the kind of casual gathering that turns neighbors into regulars, and the dog park means four-legged residents have a place of their own to burn off the day. Elevators serve the building throughout.
Outside, Fishtown wraps around you with an energy that has been building for years and still feels genuinely alive. The neighborhood wears its character without effort — murals on brick walls, corner spots that have been there for decades standing beside new openings that already feel like they belong. Front Street connects you to the broader pulse of the neighborhood, where coffee shops, restaurants, music venues, and weekend markets are woven into the everyday rhythm. This is a place where people know their neighbors by name and the local business owner by their order.
Pets are welcome here, cats and dogs alike, with breed and size restrictions and a limit on the number of pets per home. Street parking is available in the area.
Urby Fishtown is not a renovated building or an adaptive reuse — it was built new, built for this moment, and this unit reflects that fully. For anyone looking for a home in one of Philadelphia's most vibrant and rooted neighborhoods, the combination of brand-new construction and a community with genuine character is rare. Here, you get both. Pricing and availability subject to change on a daily basis. Photos are of model units. Parking may be available subject to availability and may be an additional fee.
