2130 Locust - Great Location, Average Management

My partner and I have lived here for the two years of the Wharton MBA program. The location is excellent in between Rittenhouse and Fitler Square. You get access to everything in Rittenhouse with some of the peace and quiet of Fitler. The building could use significant maintenance work (flooring, water damage, hot water heater) and management tends to be unresponsive. Recommend with reservations - if management becomes more responsive and makes necessary repairs, it's a great place to stay. Note: the 1BR unit is small, so do not plan on hosting many events.

I'm happy to live here

This apartment building is a good choice if you just want a clean, comfortable place to live in a great location at a good value. Management lives on site and is very responsive. The renovated units have nice fixtures and appliances, including ductless AC/heating units that do a good job with the temperature. Downsides are that it is an older building with a tiny old elevator and thin walls. Also there are no amenities/common spaces and the building does not allow pets. However, I think the positives and the value outweigh these negatives, so I'm happy to live here.

About Fitler Square

Situated right along the Schuylkill River, Fitler Square is a quaint neighborhood full of old-school Philadelphia charm. It's part of a larger area more commonly referred to as 'Schuylkill' that's also comprised of Devil's Pocket and Grays Ferry. Renters rave about this area for the nearby parks and...

Fitler Square is really cute and homey. It's around a lot of other medical students, so it's a good social area and has an easy commute to school. It's also great if you like running because it's right off the trail on the river. Food is good but a bit homogenous (compared to West Philly especially.
Reviewed by Wharton MBA Student living at Brownstone
Locust and spruce feel a lot safer than market or chestnut at night. Very residential streets with beautiful brownstones. Also close to dog park and the river walkway. About 10min walk from the popular buildings and 25min walk to huntsman
Reviewed by Penn Nursing Student living at The Riverloft Apartments
good place for people new to the city! close to both Penn and a lot of stuff downtown. I never lived in Philly beforehand, and definitely recommend this location
Reviewed by Penn SP2 Student living at Riverwest Condominiums
Love the neighborhood! If you're interested in being close to the center of the city and being able to actively explore Philly (for a not extreme price) it was great! Also was easy to get to my school - University of Pennsylvania. 15-20 mins to get to school by transit; 30 mins walking.

That being said I did notice that most students lived on the side of the school!
Reviewed by Penn Carey Law Student living at 250 S 23rd St
The beautiful tree-filled neighborhood is full of families, dogs, and students - it is safe, full of great restaurants, and boasts an equally quick walk to both University City and downtown attractions. The immediate access to the Schuylkill River Trail also can't be beat. While we lack apartment amenities, we love living in a historical brownstone that has charm and character. This is an area where you can live as a student and stay for another 20 years after that.
Reviewed by Penn Carey Law Student living at 2400 Chestnut Apartments
Great neighborhood, though expensive for Philly. If you're a Penn grad student who wants to be near campus but not on campus, it's ideal for distance from school and the Rittenhouse area. Lots of parks and residents are friendly.
There are residents without housing in the neighborhood. They're good people and new residents should be respectful of them and their belongings.
Reviewed by Penn Resident living at Locust on the Park
The neighborhood is very residential. Not a ton of bars/restaurants which can be annoying if you just want to pick up food after a busy day, but it's right near the park and Skukyhill river trail which is great for exercising and getting outdoors. Close to Trader Joe's and South Street market which is convenient
Reviewed by Penn Med Student living at 2400 Chestnut Apartments
Center City is a fantastic area. I live on the northern side of it, which is the more financial/industrial/apartment building side. I live 2 blocks from a busy Trader Joe's and inches away from tons of great restaurants, corner stores, and shops. It's close to Rittenhouse Square, a swanky square block with a tiny park in the middle, as well as the Schuylkill River trail (great for running and biking) and the Art Museum area. Multiple major bus lines slice through this neighborhood, making it quite easy to get anywhere when you don't want to walk or bike.
