PROS: Very convenient location right along Rittenhouse Square Park. Friendly doormen, staff and neighbors. Spacious rooms with renovated kitchens. CONS: Management very slow to respond to requests.

Not the nicest building you can find but you can find some great value apartments.

All of the staff in the building are wonderful except for the people in the leasing office. While painful to deal with up front when signing the lease, it is well worth it to be in this building. They are upgrading the amenities next year with a brand new, larger gym, movie theater, and conference room.

A lot of Whartonites. Rental office is not very responsive. Better talk to them in person than through emails. Try to get a renovated room, much better than the old ones.

The unit we got is very spacious and we got it for a great rent. The doormen are alert and remember everyone's names. The maintenance is responsive to all requests. They also throw holiday gatherings and one-off celebrations which are nice additions. The only complaint is some ceiling has been flaking off and maintenance has been slow in responding to it. Also the gym is small ans supposed to have been upgraded a while ago, but its free and included in the rent.

There's nothing beyond or goes lower than I expected before arriving. The doorman and maintenance guys are very friendly; they are also available 24/7. Claridge is very conveniently located and is in the center of everything (restaurants, pubs, shopping, etc.). As most of us do online shopping, I would highly recommend that you look for a place that has package room or doorman like Claridge. My friend who lived in a building without doorman got her packages stolen. The only downside is the rent is a bit high as compared to the size of the room. I can definitely get bigger rooms from other buildings with the price I pay.

The roof deck has the greatest skyline view and the management is sufficient. Prices are adequate and they are flexible on lease terms.

Great value for money. Spacious 2 bedrooms with park view of Rittenhouse park. convenient - transportation, supermarket, dining. management team really unresponsive. Laundry outside the room is a minus

The Claridge is good value for being on Rittenhouse Square. Perks include all utilities included in rent, friendly (if unresponsive) building staff, pet-friendly, large Wharton community, and excellent bus access on 18th when it starts getting crowded. Negatives include price relative to brownstones, pretty far from school, so-so apartment and furnishing quality, more sizzle than steak at times (mediocre gymrooftop spacelaundry facilities). Supposedly a substantial renovation of common spaces, including the gym, is on tap for 2014.

Great location. Huge difference between renovated and old apartments. Amenities are not great.
