Sustainability Lifestyle

Philadelphia’s first true, 360-degree true-green sustainable, apartment and townhome rental community.

Intentionally built for those looking to escape the Center City noise, and embark on an active lifestyle with walking, running, biking, hiking, canoeing, and even horseback riding – all nearby. Sit back and enjoy the Roe’s 3 on-site parks and green amenities.

Walk to Main Street in a breeze. Perhaps grab your bike, and explore the Manayunk Tow Path or award-winning trails at Wissahickon Park.

When living at the Roe, you don’t need a car (though we do have excellent parking if you need it) – our apartment community is just 1 block away from the Train Station and 1 ½ blocks away from Main Street. Walk everywhere.

Come home to Solar, EV Car Chargers, LED Lighting, 3 Internal Parks, Walking Paths that Interconnect Entire Community, ample Bike Parking, Energy-Efficient Windows, Appliances, and an Energy-Efficient HVAC system.

These green, eco-friendly features are better for the planet, make a statement about what is possible with green-sustainability, and many will reduce your monthly utility bill.

If you have lived at other apartments before, you understand the importance of having low utility bills each month. See a full feature list of green sustainable and eco-friendly features below.

Features marked as cost-savers (CS) in addition to other benefits, will save you money, by lowering your monthly utility bills.

There is a minimum energy code that all buildings must meet, but most buildings stop there as it is very expensive to exceed.

However, we invested the money upfront to save on your utility bills.

Not only is it the right thing to do for our planet, but saving you money each month should enhance your overall resident experience.

CS (Cost Savers). Will actually lower residents’ monthly utility bills compared to apartments that do not have these features.

*Based on a Study from a National Energy Consultant. The study compared the subject property to multi-family apartment buildings built under the 1992 Energy Code; 1992 represents an approximate average age of existing Center City Philadelphia Apartment buildings. Savings vary from Collection to Collection and based on unit type. Savings are an estimate (average savings per month over a full year, and calculated using computer models based on specific buildings and not based on actual consumer usage as it’s a brand new community). Moreover, savings will vary based on individual user behavior and energy costs. Study was conducted in 2024-2025.
