Relative to the four more popular higher-priced buildings within a 5-minute walk nearby, The Republic offers excellent value for this location with its newly renovated units, a complete amenity package, and good management. Would highly recommend for students hoping to live in the center of the Rittenhouse community without taking on the full price tag.

Have really enjoyed living at the Republic. Would recommend living here to anyone looking for a nice place at a reasonable rent. Not perfect but a solid option.

Decent # of Wharton students here - not as many as the most popular buildings, but enough to have a community.

Pros:
- Rent reasonable (compared to other high rises)
- Amazing location by Target, CVS, public transit, Rittenhouse square, and more
- Renovated units are nice, especially for price
- Walls are thick - I rarely hear neighbors
- Lots of sq ft (depending on the unit)

Cons:
- Amenities (gym, conference room) are in basement with no windows
- Building itself is quite old - renovation is nice but sometimes shows its age with old appliances and occasional power outages
- Lots of outdoor street noise - this is probably true of other nearby buildings too

I used to live at One City and my new apartment at The Republic is dramatically quieter. It's also on the nicer side of center city. I love how close it is to Rittenhouse Square and restaurants. The drexel shuttle stop on 19th street isn't too far, and there are a variety of other public transit options nearby (ie Bus 21).

I’ve lived in the republic for a year and a half and have enjoyed my experience. The management is responsive to maintenance requests and is proactive about notifying residents about work done in the building. There is also very limited noise transferred between apartments. I’ve never heard my neighbors.

Not the most glamorous building but relatively good value for the price, especially given the location.

Not too spacious but just enough for one person. Very central location. Average to low level gym. Free printing services which is a plus. Maintenance takes a while to respond to issues. No bug problem yet.

I have not had any major issues since moving here. Management is a little slow but not terrible.

Spacious, updated apartments for great value.

Generally good experience - updated amenities, large floor plans, responsive management team. There was a change in management from Greystar to Sentinel last year with some hiccups (e.g., issues with hot water) that have now been resolved.

Spacious, updated units for cheap price given the great location. However, since new management has taken over, there have been constant maintenance issues (e.g., no hot water for extended periods of time).
