Great location. Target, CVS, Trader Joe’s, all within two block radius. There’s also an urgent care clinic right down stairs.

The building is renovated about two years ago, so appliances are new and shiny. But sound proof isn’t good. Could do with thicker walls. Shower head water pressure isn’t great, but that might be just my room. Management is overall responsive, although not always helpful.

AQ Rittenhouse - pretty good place to live. Well managed, easy access to the Trolley and the 21/42 Bus, and nice amenities. Relatively new building and pretty good value for the neighborhood.

Good plug and play option. Floorplans are on the smaller end, but well layed out floorplans with more usable space than some other options in the area.

Alright, so for the price, I was disappointed that I wasn't getting a state-of-the-art gym or an awesome entertainment center. But it's located centrally, you get an incredible roof deck, and management is dependable.

I live on a side room, and the room's very oddly shaped. THis means it's difficult to find furniture that fits. Oh, and if you're one of those people who likes it to be pitch black as you sleep, this is not the place for you.

This is good. Lots of other wharton students around.

AQ Rittenhouse is a brand new apartment building. Everything is new and shiny which is great. When looking for an apartment at AQ, try to get something at 8th or higher floors. The apartments below are dark and don't have as much privacy as people in the other wing can peek into your apartment. The apartments on higher floors have a great view and have lots of sunlight. The apartments are somewhat small compared to most in the locality. So the rent may feel expensive for the size of the apartment.

Overall, am very happy here and plan to stay next year.

Pros:
-Everything is new- the AQ just opened in spring 2015.
-The apartments have wood floors, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances.
-In the summer and early fall, the roof deck is AWESOME.
-My studio has a lot of natural light but this factor depends on layout/location of apartment within building.
-Lots of Wharton students in the building. There is almost always someone to split an Uber with.

Cons:
-There have been some recent issues with leaks and with hot water going out.
-The "gym" can barely be described as one. There's just one treadmill, one bike, one elliptical, and some free weights. There's no room to stretch out or to do walking lunges, etc.
-Greystar's management is pretty annoying but that seems to be universal across Philly apt. buildings.

This luxury building opened up in the summer of 2015 so everything is brand new. The pros are that it is close enough to Rittenhouse square but not so close that it may be unsafe at night (you wont see homeless people during the wee hours of the night). It isn't as busy as Walnut so things are a bit more quiet. I enjoy how it is between 2401 and the park so a lot of my friends actually visit me and this is our "meeting spot" rather than going to the park or somewhere a bit closer to campus like 2400 Chestnut.

As for management, when moving in they did not institute rules such as having to pay $500 to reserve the rooftop, a guest limit of 4 people, or having to break down boxes and move them downstairs for recycling. This is the only complaint I have which I guess was unavoidable since the building was brand new and they weren't sure what rules would be needed.

The building is very pet friendly with a dog wash and the rooftop is amazing. The gym is very small though (only 4 machines). There is very little storage space in the 2BR/2BA, especially in the kitchen.

I love this building and location, especially the roof. The only thing is that the apartment overall is a tad small, especially compared to other high end apartments for the same rent.

Brand new building so everything works well and is nice. However, it's a bit overpriced for what I've seen in the neighborhood.
