Has many problems, hopefully renovations will help

The experience of living at Riverwest is very dependent on the specific unit. Before the renovations, the building was very outdated. Management is poor to respond to requests. Maintenance staff is rude. Honestly you get what you pay for -- if you are set on living here just make sure your condominium landlord is caring, attentive, and dedicated to a great experience.

Best deal

The facilities are not the fanciest but for the location it’s the best deal.

Great Location for Wharton Students

Perfect location right opposite 2116, friendly front desk staff, good system for collecting packages, recently renovated lobby, best value for money, units can differ a lot depending on the landlord, some apartments have good views and some don't.

Highly Dependent on Landlord

My landlord is incredible, which is the only reason I've stayed in this building. The staff/etc are all nice as well, but there are a ton of problems throughout the building (pests, etc) that become issues within individual units if your landlord isn't good.

GREAT deal for students - honestly, other buildings that are higher priced aren't worth it for a 2-3 year student stay, since this covers all utilities except internet, too. You do get what you pay for though.

River West

The apartment is nice size for a studio with a very convenient setup. It is nice, nothing fancy, but serves my needs well for a decent price. The management is very nice and helpful and I've been very happy here. It is convenient to have a restaurant and bar in the first floor of the building and to be so close to stores, while being in a more quiet area of the city and close to the river.

The building is located right across from very popular 2116 Chestnut. Location is great, apartment is really secure (10/10 concierge). Quite a few Wharton students living here but overall quite.

Great for the price

I live in a decent sized one-bedroom and I’m paying less than some of my friends in studios (plus my rent includes utilities). It’s not the nicest or newest building but if you’re able to snag a more renovated unit it’s great. It’s right across from 2116, close to Trader Joe’s, and an easy walk to campus. Overall, I’m happy with the building. There’s also a good community of Wharton students living here. However, if you’re used to first class amenities this may not be the best fit. The door staff are all great but the gym is fairly small. The common space on the ground floor isn’t great for hosting large groups either.

Good for price point

Not a luxury building but very spacious for price. No huge maintenance issues. Doorman building.

Fitler Square Reviews

294 reviews
Fitler Square is really cute and homey. It's around a lot of other medical students, so it's a good social area and has an easy commute to school. It's also great if you like running because it's right off the trail on the river. Food is good but a bit homogenous (compared to West Philly especially.
Locust and spruce feel a lot safer than market or chestnut at night. Very residential streets with beautiful brownstones. Also close to dog park and the river walkway. About 10min walk from the popular buildings and 25min walk to huntsman
good place for people new to the city! close to both Penn and a lot of stuff downtown. I never lived in Philly beforehand, and definitely recommend this location
Love the neighborhood! If you're interested in being close to the center of the city and being able to actively explore Philly (for a not extreme price) it was great! Also was easy to get to my school - University of Pennsylvania. 15-20 mins to get to school by transit; 30 mins walking.

That being said I did notice that most students lived on the side of the school!
The beautiful tree-filled neighborhood is full of families, dogs, and students - it is safe, full of great restaurants, and boasts an equally quick walk to both University City and downtown attractions. The immediate access to the Schuylkill River Trail also can't be beat. While we lack apartment amenities, we love living in a historical brownstone that has charm and character. This is an area where you can live as a student and stay for another 20 years after that.
Great neighborhood, though expensive for Philly. If you're a Penn grad student who wants to be near campus but not on campus, it's ideal for distance from school and the Rittenhouse area. Lots of parks and residents are friendly.
There are residents without housing in the neighborhood. They're good people and new residents should be respectful of them and their belongings.
The neighborhood is very residential. Not a ton of bars/restaurants which can be annoying if you just want to pick up food after a busy day, but it's right near the park and Skukyhill river trail which is great for exercising and getting outdoors. Close to Trader Joe's and South Street market which is convenient
Center City is a fantastic area. I live on the northern side of it, which is the more financial/industrial/apartment building side. I live 2 blocks from a busy Trader Joe's and inches away from tons of great restaurants, corner stores, and shops. It's close to Rittenhouse Square, a swanky square block with a tiny park in the middle, as well as the Schuylkill River trail (great for running and biking) and the Art Museum area. Multiple major bus lines slice through this neighborhood, making it quite easy to get anywhere when you don't want to walk or bike.
