5100 Convent Ln

Bakers Bay is a mid-rise, six-story condominium complex built in 1972 along the Delaware River in Northeast Philadelphia. The community is organized into elevator-served buildings with a mix of one- and two-bedroom floorplans, many of which include an additional den or flexible room. Interiors commonly feature traditional layouts and period details — crown moldings, wood floors or carpet, recessed lighting, built-ins, and a variety of bath configurations including walk-in showers and soaking tubs. Units often have private outdoor space (ground-floor patios or balconies) with several residences offering direct river views and oversized living and dining areas accessed through tiled foyers or open floor plans. Common areas are extensive and oriented toward social and recreational living: a gated entry with 24/7 manned gatehouse, lobby/mailroom, bike rooms, private storage lockers, and on-site staff-managed services. The grounds and exterior amenities are robust, with heated indoor and outdoor pools, hot tubs, sauna rooms, multiple tennis courts, sport courts, playgrounds, extensive hardscape, an observation deck on the river, and organized social programming in clubhouse spaces (card rooms, library, game room with billiards and ping-pong). Practical conveniences include covered parking/adjacent lots, landscape and snow removal, building insurance and utilities bundled into condo fees (gas, water/sewer, basic cable in many units), and proximity to SEPTA bus and nearby Torresdale train station plus quick access to I‑95 and area bridges. The association enforces pet and rental policies (cats generally allowed; dogs restricted except service animals) and has rules regarding loan qualification and capital contributions. Overall, Bakers Bay emphasizes low-maintenance, amenity-rich condominium living with strong recreational infrastructure and riverfront orientation.
