About 1700 N Front St #414
Freshly built from the ground up in 2024, this one-bedroom residence at Urby Fishtown arrives untouched — walls crisp, surfaces clean, every fixture and finish meeting you exactly as it was designed to. There is something quietly extraordinary about being the first person to call a space home, and that feeling settles in the moment you step through the door of Unit 1-414.
The open floor plan does what good design always does: it makes 526 square feet feel like a considered, livable home rather than a compromise. The kitchen anchors the living space with upgraded countertops and a full suite of stainless steel appliances — refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, microwave, self-cleaning oven, and an ice maker ready to pull its weight on a warm Fishtown evening. There is no trip to a shared laundry room in your future here. The in-unit washer and dryer handle that errand quietly and on your schedule, which, once you have it, becomes one of those things you cannot imagine living without. A walk-in closet gives the bedroom real storage, and window treatments are already in place so your first night is genuinely restful rather than logistically complicated.
Fishtown is one of those neighborhoods that rewards the person who likes to move through it on foot. The Somerset Station on the Market-Frankford Line sits close enough that the commute to Center City becomes almost incidental — a quick ride that puts you at Jefferson, Market East, or 30th Street Station without the overhead of a car, a parking spot, or any of the friction that comes with driving into the city. The streets around North Front offer the kind of local texture that fills a week without repeating itself: coffee shops, corner bars, murals, record stores, and restaurants that have made Fishtown a destination for people who live elsewhere and an anchor for the people lucky enough to live here.
Back home, the building's amenities extend your usable square footage well beyond the walls of the unit itself. The roof deck is where Fishtown evenings make the most sense — skyline in one direction, the neighborhood grid spreading out in the others, the kind of view that makes the city feel both vast and intimate at once. The fitness center handles morning workouts without a separate membership. The clubhouse and meeting room give you space for the kinds of gatherings an apartment living room cannot always accommodate. A picnic area and dog park round out the outdoor offerings, and for residents with pets, the building welcomes cats and dogs, subject to breed, size, and number guidelines.
Elevators serve the building throughout. On-street parking is available in the surrounding neighborhood for residents who keep a car. Every detail of this residence — the appliances, the storage, the laundry, the light coming through windows dressed and ready — reflects the clarity of a space that has never had to be corrected, refreshed, or updated. It was simply built right, built new, and waiting for the routines of one resident to make it their own. 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.
