Bright, Spacious 2BR Bi-Level Apartment | Available 8/1/2026
Furnished | 2 Bedrooms | Bi-Level | Private Patio | Dedicated Parking
This elegant, furnished bi-level two-bedroom apartment is located in the heart of downtown Swarthmore, just steps from campus and town amenities.
? Proven student rental history:
The apartment has a long history of being rented by Swarthmore College students and is especially well suited to student living, based on its location, layout, and setting.

Location
• Located on Park Avenue in the center of town
• Approximately ½ block from the SEPTA Regional Rail station

• Recently renovated and exceptionally well maintained
• Distinct bi-level layout with living space on the main level and bedrooms upstairs

________________________________________
Two Private Entrances & Outdoor Space
• Front entrance at street level on Park Avenue
• Rear entrance via stairs to a private outdoor patio
The patio is a great spot to enjoy summer evenings — including July 4th fireworks.
During the years the apartment was owner-occupied and rented to students, the unit, patio, and downtown Swarthmore have been very comfortable in the summer, with no noticeable mosquito issues.

Additional Perks
• One dedicated off-street parking space
• Furnished (most major pieces provided)
• Quiet, well-maintained building
• The property was owner-occupied for many years before being fully rented and reflects the level of care typical of an owner-occupied home

• Those looking for a comfortable home base during the academic year

Equal Housing Opportunity.
