While it is an affordable building on an amazing location, it is not a quiet building. You can hear how people slam doors and all of that at night. But the worst thing is the construction work that started 8 months ago and has not stopped. It is the most disruptive thing ever and if you work from home, it is awful. They should disclose that before moving so you know what you are getting into.
Sometimes you’ll get roaches and the heating system isn’t that great. The gym is very small.
The good thing are people at the front desk and workers, they are very nice.

I live in a 1 bedroom in the Riverwest Condos. Each apartment is owned condo owners so the level of renovation per unit varies based on your owner. The location is great and the building is extremely safe with 24/7 doormen. Its an older building so it has its quirks like the heating and ac. Its also not smoke free. But overall, incredible value for money.

My apartment is not a luxury apartment but it is very nice, pretty up to date, and absolutely worth it given its price, amenities, and location. All utilities included is a blessing as I only have to pay one monthly bill. Maintenance and the overall living experience can be very landlord dependent and luckily I have an excellent landlord. All the problems I have encountered are normal city living issues that have been corrected in time through the management company or my landlord. If you are a normal person or low-income, this is an excellent apartment. If you come from wealth you may be unhappy as you may be used to better luxuries like in unit washer/dryer and a newer gym.

Riverwest is perfectly located for commuting to the law school from Center City. Building staff is extremely nice. Units are condos owned by individual landlords so experiences may vary. Only negative is that there can be considerable disruptions from water stoppages and construction, though those may be temporary; walls are quite thick and noise levels low for Center City overall.

This condo building is much cheaper than surrounding apartments. The location is great. The quality of apartment's is based on individual condo owner. Mine was definitely very dirty when I first got it. Has some maintenance issues. Very spacious and lot's of natural light.

Very friendly staff! Older building so some issues like drainage (no garbage disposals) but maintenance staff responsive to work orders. Some water/electricity maintenance means it’s sometimes turned off during the day (during the work) and we’re notified in advance via email. Building has gym with dumbbells and some cardio machines - not huge but gets the job done. In a really handy location (5 minute walk to target and TJ’s) and super close to a bunch of restaurants.

Perfect location, solid gym, mailroom, etc. All utilities included. It's not as new as the other luxury buildings, but still quite nice. All condos so very unit specific

Units in this building are owned by different landlord. Mine is great and I have had no issues with the building itself, I only wish it had bike storage.

Most cost effective given location

Riverwest is one of the most cost-effective buildings to live in. If you don't care about amenities (e.g. mediocre gym, no pool) and don't mind the oldness of the building, it's the cheapest place you can get while living by yourself or with one roommate.

Do keep your drains always covered though. Because the building is old, you don't want roaches to crawl through the drain on the odd occassion
