Beautiful building/apartment! Great management. Mix of hospital staff and Wharton business school students mostly. Safe, quiet. Pricey in terms of rent but worth it for location and quality

2116 is a great choice for any MBA student - whether single and looking for a studio or family with kids and dogs looking for one of their swanky two bedrooms. The building is well located (for both school and social activities), clean and nice, and full of Wharton students.

The only downside is that it is a tall elevator building which can get annoying at times when running in and out (or running late). It also obviously lacks the cuteness factor of other Rittenhouse options.

The management team is incompetent, the utilities are outrageous (even including electiricty for "common space" that we can't use because it has all been shut down.)

They said you have a doorman, but they do not accept packages, open the door, etc. It is unclear what their role even is.

The package room is a complete disaster, and it often takes 30+ minutes to find your package. This is also a Covid concern because it is a small, poorly ventilated room with many people in it searching through a sea of misplaced packages.

The apartments themselves are cheaply outfitted. Thin doors break, the drywall is thin, etc.

I would not make the decision to live here again.

2116 doesn’t allow 2 year/22mo leases, and then they raise the rent on you when you have to renew (they raised my rent during covid). In general, they seem to find every last chance to charge extra fees - like they added a monthly trash fee, and they added a common area fee...while my rent is already higher than it was for my West Village NYC apartment which feels absurd since this is Philly.

That being said, aside from the price gouging, I have liked living in the building.

If I were starting Wharton now and expecting to work remotely/spend more time in my apt due to covid, I would probably have chosen a 1br somewhere else instead of a studio in 2116.

The apartment is great - modern look, modern feel, pretty apartments and a decent amount of amenities. I loved my place and where I stayed. That said, you live here if you want to be a bit bougie or with other Wharton people. I think 2040 market is better value for your dollar, but less nice.

While the building is undoubtedly popular, the value for money is lacking. The location is great and the views from the floor to ceiling windows are are beautiful, but beyond this you do not get too much for your high rent. There is no pool, the gym is just okay, and following COVID, the amenity spaces have been restricted in ways that other complexes have not done.

Chose 2116 to be in a building with other Wharton students. I enjoy the community and ease of socializing, but the building itself and it's management is pretty terrible. Not at all up to par for a "luxury" building for the price and the living/bedroom areas don't even have overhead lighting. The management is absolutely useless and there are hidden fees everywhere

The location is very convenient (about 20 min walk to campus and within 10 mins to anywhere in rittenhouse). There are tons of Wharton students in the building, so it’s been a fun and easy way to meet people.

This is where most of the class lives so if you are the type to get FOMO definitely live here. That said it is a bit pricey (but you can mitigate this if you sign a lease a bit early- eg look in March and pay for June/July). The management is also awful and will constantly find ways to screw you... but it’s worth being near your classmates.

Great location and responsive management
