1500 Locust

Convenient location. Great management. I love the indoor pool which is open all year round.

We call 1500 Locust "luxury lite for less". It has all the amenities (in-unit washer/dryer, rooftop indoor pool and hot tub, outdoor rooftop lounging and grills, penthouse common room, movie room, some apartments have terraces) in the middle of center city in our price range. The "luxury lite" part refers to the less expensive details (like apartment finishes) than more expensive buildings in the area.

The building staff are phenomenal. The management takes more patience. For example, there has been construction on the attached garage that has created noise (heard up to the 25th floor) every week day for months (but is finally almost done). It took multiple calls to management over a week to get any accommodation while working nights. All in all, we would live here again to get the amenities and location in our price range.

Great location and amenities

I enjoy living at 1500 locust. The apartments are spacious and are modern. The concierge and maintenance staff are excellent.

I enjoy living here.

Easy access to patco (across the street), nice facility upstairs to study/swim/workout/tan on a nice day.

Expensive but nice and great service when repairs are needed. Typically fixed within the day.

Our apartment is large w/ a porch, animal friendly.

The only bad things are the expense and the elevators. There are generally 3 working elevators for 45 floors, so they can get busy when people are leaving for work or returning home at the end of the day.

Amazing so far.

The only annoyance is how slow the elevators are. You could wait for up to 5 mins for the elevators to come. I have missed a couple of ubers/lyft because of the elevator waiting situation

Really great experience at 1500 Locust. The staff is super attentive and friendly. Maintenance is super fast with any issues (we haven't had many). The amenities cannot be beat!!! A little far from Wharton but the bus stop is one block away and a 10 minute ride. Great location right in the middle of the action.

I am very happy at 1500 Locust. Apartments are spacious and reasonably priced compared to other high-rises. Location is convenient to the 21/42/40 buses, SEPTA train, and is centrally located in the city. Building staff including doormen and maintenance are outstanding and highly responsive. Gym, pool/hot tub, rooftop, and lounge are all high quality. Only downsides are slow elevators at rush hour and rare but annoying fire alarms that are triggered by Fado downstairs. Overall this has been a great part of my experience in Philly and would highly recommend the apartment.
