Three Philly apartments under $2,500 a month — with coveted private laundry

An Apartment List study recently named in-unit laundry as the most sought-after amenity for renters in Philadelphia. But less than 20 percent of all rentals include private laundry facilities. These three apartments offer renters the coveted ability to wash their unmentionables without scrounging for quarters or passive-aggressively trading notes about neighbors in a communal laundry room.
