Riverwest has a great location, it is super convenient to get to school, and most of the people who live in the building are Penn or other grad students. The building is a little older, and the units are individually owned so the quality of each apartment varies. The gym is small, but it has enough for the casual gym-goer. 24-hour doorman.

All Inclusive Utilities. Gym. Friendly Staff, Fast Repairs. Close To Campus, And Reasonably Priced

The building is located in a very safe and convenient area. Lots of restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and grocery stores nearby. Tenants are mostly students. Only major cons are the noise during the weekends (especially with respect to apartments facing the street) and the heating system is also very loud.

All utilities except internet included. Good location for walking to campus. Be aware though, there are mice in the building. Building manager is pretty useless. Elevators frequently broken. None of these were dealbreakers for me though, and it's a fine place to live, but not luxurious.

Overall: - Great value for location and basic amenities. - Amenities include 24x7 doorman, gym, and laundry - basically the only things you really need. - Location - 3 blocks away from 2401, 1 block away from Trader Joe's. A few things to note about Riverwest: - Condos are owned by individuals, so units are in varying conditions and some owners are very responsive while others aren't.

I love the location, it is perfect for everything: close enough to walk to 2401 Walnut Street, Campus, stores, Rittenhouse etc. All public transport is nearby, including 30th street station. There are cafes, restaurants all around. The apartment is spacious and well designed. There is laundry and a gym in the building. However, this is an old building so I've had a slew of maintenance problems, there is no dishwasher (not a huge negative).

Pros: 1. Very convenient location: 20mins walking to school, 5 mins to Rittenhouse square, 1 block away from Trader Joes 2. Responsible front desk: handles all your e-commerce delivery 3. Room size is pretty generous. Very good for the price 4. The building includes Cable TV (~100 channels) 5. Decent business center to host team meetings 6. Small gym available. 2 laundry rooms Cons: 1. The condo is older style and not as fancy as some (i.e. Locust 1500), but really good value worth 2. The heater is old and can make loud cranky noises in the night -- not a big deal if you are a sound sleeper 3. Can get a bit noisy on Fri/Sat nights. 4. Elevator can be a pain

Building is a bit dated and since it's a condo, tenants have to work directly with the condo unit owner.

The location is perfect. It is close to Rittenhouse Square, Trolley Station, Trader-Joe. Value for money is very good. I rented the unit with furniture. The building is a little bit old, so the quality is lower than high-end buildings such as 1500 Locust and 2116 Chestnut. But, accordingly price is much lower than equivalent units in those buildings. The biggest issue with the building is the old heating system, which makes a lot noise during the winter, esp. in the nights. But, after a while, I got used to the noise. I consider to rent again my unit in the next year.

Location is close to armory, food, bars and Septa. 20 minute walking distance from Wharton.
