Great location
Great location. Good lobby. Apartment interior could use a bit of makeover but is fine. Has carpeting (prefer hardwood)

Rooftop pool is great when its open in the summer
There are usually 2 doormen on duty, so everything runs smoothly and is very safe. The building has a nice entrance. The rooftop pool is great in the summer, though most students are not around to take advantage of it. There are great fall views of the city from the rooftop though once the pool closes. Gym is good for cardio. Easy 20 minute walk to campus.

Perfect location on Walnut.
Closer walk to campus then most buildings and still walkable to all of the Wharton bubble. Lots of Wharton students, big apartments, and decent staff. Gym is ok and pool is nice but only open in summer.

Great condo and apartment building, but landlord is slow to respond to requests.
Everything about the Wanamaker condominium is great: management functions really well, security is great and very nice, maintenance responds very quickly to any request. Everyone is very trust-worthy. Land-lord is extremely slow to respond to requests and apartment was not clean, and needed maintenance when I received it.

I am very happy with my residence and building.
The apartment has a nice lay-out and great views, and the building has a nice gym and pool, and very good doormen. The downsides are that the windows are very thin, so wind/rain can be very noisy (hard to sleep through), and the parking garage is pretty expensive ($300/month for a monthly spot). But I have lived here happily for 2+ years and would renew my lease if staying in Philly.

The Wanamaker's location is great
Doormen are fantastic and maintenance is responsive. Gym is sufficient. Lots of other students live in the building which is very convenient for meetings, etc.

Would definitely recommend the Wanamaker
Nice building, great location, close to center city and not far from school. Staff are all very nice and service is prompt. Only thing that I wish could been better is the applicant in the unit. They are very old. But it is ok since you won't cook every single day. Get a higher floor, you won't regret for the extra couple hundreds a year you pay.
Expensive but worth it
A little expensive but overall good. really nice to have a gym in house for no extra cost.
Good building, but doesn't let you sublet over the summer
Great location with gym and helpful staff. The building does not allow subleasing so if you sign a lease that lasts through the summer between your first and second year, you will likely need to pay the entire rental cost while you are doing your internship (even if the apartment is empty).
Love this building!
Great building, very popular with Wharton students. Very secure, friendly concierge, great and well maintained facilities (pool, gym). Great location, 2 blocks from Rittenhouse and closer to school. Downsides: strictly no subleasing over summer, bus is often full by the time it gets to 20th.

Rittenhouse Square Reviews
Spruce Street in particular is great - it's a little south of the square, so is quieter/shielded from a lot of the traffic that the neighborhood gets, but it's not out of the way or far away. There's a Starbucks, a grocery store (Rittenhouse Market), and a few corner stores (Four Seasons and Food & Friends) within a 2-3 minute walk of my apartment.
