Perfect location, great amenities (pool, roof deck, gym, study area)

Convenient building with convenient amenities. Everything looks really nice and pretty from the outside, but on closer inspection the materials the building uses are not very high quality. But at least they look nice! Most units are getting upgraded to new kitchens and washer and dryer.

The building facilities are nice - gym, pool, study lounge with wireless, roofdeck, movie room - but at Wharton I never have enough time to use them. The building is overly expensive for what it is, and the security is lacking - virtually anyone can get upstairs. The elevators are the worst part about this building - at any given time one or two of them is broken, leaving long lines for the residents to get upstairs (no way to take stairs up the building, only down because of multiple locked entries in the stairwells).

Live on a low floor because the elevators are very slow. Note that the lowest floor you can live on is the 14th floor (bc there is a parking garage below the apts), so you will still have a great view (although studio apts look straight out to a brick wall)

Although on the surface the building looks good, and it has nice amenities, it has many problems I would like to point out. First the management is not very good. They seem very attentive when showing the building, but after moving in this changes completely. I have had very bad experiences with required maintenance. They take too long to check, they check and simply leave notes but don't perform the needed amendments. e.g. the drying machine has been working poorly since the beginning and after reporting it 4-5 times, they never seem to find any problem or they simply do not check. They are bad at communicating scheduled maintenance times and in many occasions have either failed to show up or come out off-scheduled times The elevator is a disaster, not only are there very few elevators for the number of tenants, but usually there is at least one elevator down, which slows the process. It is common to wait 10-15 minutes for the elevator. There is little control with the fire alarm, there have been multiple false alarms at late times. In general this building is too expensive for what it offers and in general not a comfortable place to stay.

Great place to live. The only issue is the super slow elevators.

Poor management and defective elevators.

1500 Locust is nice, but the elevator sucks and it is far from everyone and campus.

It is a nice building but overpriced for what you get. The rent is high and does not include anything additional such as cable, internet etc. The gym is very basic (similar to a hotel gym) so if you train regularly you will have to get a separate membership. Also management and maintenance are quite poor with several ignored requests for maintenance. If you can find a building between 18-22 streets that is a better location.

The building is great. The management in the building and Bozzuto are both terrible -- honestly, I would avoid this building if possible. There are better (and MUCH cheaper) buildings in Center City that you should look at first.
