8.8/10 Rating
(based on 545 neighborhood reviews)

I feel extremely safe in the neighborhood, and I have everything I need very close by (restaurants, grocery stores, theaters, farmers market, coffee shops, etc.) Very community-oriented neighborhood. There are many grad students in the area, but there are also families. In general, the neighborhood is not particularly affordable, but my roommate and I were able to get a great deal on the property.

Rittenhouse is definitely the place to be. All the restaurants, lots of grocery stores, most of the socialization happens here. The walk to school is substantial, but public transit options are out there and the school has a shuttle in the evenings.

I have loved living in Rittenhouse Square. There is a lot to do nearby in terms of food and fun and it is a very safe neighborhood. Furthermore, the trolley and the shuttle are very close by, making the commute to campus very simple.

Great area, living at 15th and locust feels village-esque. Far happier living in the low-rise area of town than the high rise streets of Market or JFK.

Depends on what you like! Very residential-- lots of families & dogs. Two blocks from the park. Lots of restaurants around, which is fun for exploring. Gets very quiet at night/early morning.

Great neighborhood for being new to Philadelphia and wanting to explore the city! Also as long as you are near public transportation its quick and easy access to schools in west Philadelphia. You are walking distance to tons of restaurants and bars so you'll save on ubers/lyfts with lots of options to explore. If you do want another area you aren't too far a drive!
Only downside is if you want a residential/neighborhood feel than this is not the right fit for you! Similarly if you have a dog this might not be ideal (though for our small dog it still works great) However, still gave a great rating since if you want to be in the center of everything, near great restaurants and bars, and public transit than this is a great area for you.

Can’t get much better. Steps away from the park, which means the farmers market and amazing shopping / food options. All the bars and restaurants people go to are within walking distance (except for the occasional Fishtown night). Great cafes, markets, and other stores to get groceries. The school is a 30 min walk, but I take the bus - this takes about 10 mins (the bus stop is about 20 feet from the Beacon entrance). Can be noisy with people performing on the street if you face Walnut, but it doesn’t continue into the night.

The Beacon
Rittenhouse is very pedestrian-friendly! If you live further east, it’s very easy to get to school via the Broad Street Line. There’s a few walkable options for grocery stores, many walkable options for coffee, and multiple green spaces to relax/work out. Very close to center center city, but doesn’t feel super hectic.

Rittenhouse Square is the center of the action. As someone who has never lived right in a city center before, I really enjoyed being able to walk to everything, especially Target and the variety of restaurants within just a couple of blocks.
While I would say being 5 minutes from things is indeed a noticeable improvement from being 15 minutes away from things, the pandemic made the cost of Rittenhouse Square feel silly. With the hindsight of a pandemic (since fall 2021 may be back to normal), I'd still suggest that being in the center of the action is a bit overrated. Rittenhouse Square park itself can get noisy on weekends before it gets cold out. I also think that the 20-minute commute to Penn can surprisingly start to feel a little long, especially if you ever have to make two round trips in a day, and I wouldn't be surprised if students gradually migrate closer to the river. With them may go some restaurants, bars, and retail. I'd encourage folks to sign 1-year leases, get a feel for Rittenhouse, and then decide whether they are open to moving toward South Philly (or Fairmount) to save a bit on rent and have a slightly quieter lifestyle.

The Wellington
I love this neighborhood and knew I wanted to live here when beginning my apartment search. The park is one of my favorite places in the city, and I love being able to easily access all the restaurants and shopping nearby. It's also an easy (~20 minute) walk to Penn Law, and the walking commute has always been a nice and peaceful part of my day.
Spruce Street in particular is great - it's a little south of the square, so is quieter/shielded from a lot of the traffic that the neighborhood gets, but it's not out of the way or far away. There's a Starbucks, a grocery store (Rittenhouse Market), and a few corner stores (Four Seasons and Food & Friends) within a 2-3 minute walk of my apartment. Keep reading
2043 Spruce Street
Rittenhouse square is our favorite neighborhood in the city. It has everything you could need all within walking distance from some of the best restaurants and bars, parks and open space, to a fantastic farmers market every saturday. It is steps away from the Schuylkill river trail and a pleasant walk or bus ride away from University city and other parts of center city. It is very bike friendly, and traffic is not nearly as bad or congested as it is in other parts of center city. You can even find free long term street parking reliably if you know where to look!
Keep reading
The Pepper Building
It's very accessible to school, has good amenities, is walkable, has good transport links and feels pretty safe, even later at night. The only downside in my view is that it's not a very diverse neighborhood (tends to be older and whiter than other parts of the city, I think because there is a greater prevalence of more expensive single-family homes or luxury high-rise buildings).
Keep reading
2024 Spruce Street
I like living in Center City a lot. I tried living in University City my first year of law school, but I found it was more stressful being closer to campus. I like the walk everyday and it's great being downtown for bar review and other social events. Most upper level students also live downtown, so it is easier to connect with your peers. Also a target and CVS very close by, so it is very convenient if you need to pick up groceries, or want to take a break and head out shopping etc. If you like a social atmosphere and one where you can distance yourself a bit from the college experience and integrate with young professionals in Philadelphia, Center City is a great place to be.

I love everything about living at 2116 chestnut, except for the rent. My apartment is new, updated, clean, floor to ceiling windows, large closets, has a doorman, and includes a great gym and amenity floor. It is a quick walk to work (~20 min from CHOP/Penn). The management is excellent, and fixes anything that breaks within a day. It is very quiet, I have never heard a peep from my neighbors or upstairs. My only gripe is the rent. My unit is a corner unit on a high floor with a balcony, so you could find a 1BR on a lower floor for a little bit cheaper.

The Wanamaker House
The Rittenhouse Square neighborhood is extremely safe. Most of the apartment buildings in the area are staffed with doormen to keep an eye on things especially at night. Though Rittenhouse Market is the closer grocery store, many opt to shop at the more affordable Trader Joe's that is located about 10 minutes away by foot. There is a good amount of construction being done in the area currently, so low floors in apartment complexes can be a little noisy, but this is not a constant problem.

222 Rittenhouse
Rittenhouse is probably the most dynamic area to live in Philly at the moment. Close to all services, parks (Schuylkill River Park is 5mn away and amazing!), restaurants, quality fast food, grocery stores, coffee shops (La Colombe!), movies, theatres, transport, offices...
It is as safe as it can be in Philly and noise level is super acceptable. Lots of graduate, med/law school,students but also young professionals, families and retired people live around. Keep reading

Close to work so long as you work in the center city area.
Seemingly safe, nothing has ever happened to me, but like always cut down on walking late at night, when you're drunk, and alone. Its a busy area so there is some noise. Grocery stores are close, maybe a block or two except WAY over priced. Everyone has a dog, like everyone. Keep reading
The Townhouse Apartments
Rittenhouse Square has lots of great bars, restaurants, shopping, the park that is nice to walk around in, and a farmer's market during warmer seasons. The best part is that many Wharton students live in or near Rittenhouse so most of your friends/classmates will be very close by. Only complaints are that 1. There aren't any normal grocery stores nearby. There's a Di Bruno Bros, which tends to be pretty expensive, Trader Joe's, which is great but a little further away, and then smaller markets, which are also a bit expensive. 2. Lots of homeless people so the park can get pretty sketchy at night 3. Not a lot of places where you can buy beer in bulk (plenty of specialty / craft beer places though)

I moved to Philly from Manhattan, and Rittenhouse Square feels like a dream. I have all of the amazing charm, food, shopping and culture that I would find in the best NYC neighborhoods with the accessible, quieter, friendlier feel of a smaller city. And there are a handful of parks within walking distance. We live in a brownstone on Spruce St. which helps give that comparatively suburban feel – not sure if it's the same in some of the high rises.

2006 Spruce st. 2R
As a resident of Philadelphia for over 8 years, I had to laugh when I first heard Rittenhouse Square referred to as the "Wharton bubble". While it is true that I run into at least a handful of Wharton students and partners every time I walk the streets, there is a whole lot more to the neighborhood than just the place where Wharton lives and plays. Rittenhouse Square has it all - shops, restaurants, arts, nightlife - just no reasonable grocery stores! However, living in Rittenhouse Square makes it easy to get to neighborhoods such as Fairmount, Old City, and University City, just to name a few. Those neighbors have many hidden gems (and grocery stores!) that make choosing to stay confined to the Wharton bubble to be absurd. My advice - live in Rittenhouse Square for the amenities, but also for the convenience of being within walking distance of many other great neighborhoods. Do yourself the favor and explore them all during your two years in Philly!

Love being the in the middle of everything and not having to drive to get somewhere. I walk to work so I save money that way too. I couldn't count how many times people have commented on how amazing it is to live in a great part of the city. If I was going to do it all over again, I would have lived here earlier in the cheapest place I could afford, just for the location!

Rittenhouse is one of my favorite spots in Philadelphia. Great food, lots of bars/public spaces to hang out, very walkable, easy access to the Schuylkill River Trail, and beautiful buildings. The fact that it's located right across the river from UPenn as well makes it very convenient for school.

It is a beautiful neighborhood and, as a young woman living alone, safety was a large consideration in picking a neighborhood. I never feel unsafe walking alone, even at nighttime. There are sometimes package thefts in the area with FedEx deliveries only, but they are rare. My landlord recently installed a security camera to monitor packages and the entrance to the building. I pay less than many of my friends who live closer to the law school or in larger apartment complexes, and I enjoy the separation between school and home. The Rittenhouse Market on Saturday mornings is a huge plus, and there are many grocery stores 5-20 minutes away.

Rittenhouse is the safest part of Philly. It's a very "happening" part of town—lots of restaurants and bars on every street. At the same time, it's right next to more residential neighborhoods to walk around in and explore. It's a great place to live relatively close to the law school but with a degree of separation so as not to get trapped in the law school bubble.

Love the neighborhood, Rittenhouse Square is beautiful and we are so close to the more commercial areas like Walnut Street while not being in the center of the craziness.

Rittenhouse Square has a park in the center surrounded by a bookstores, restaurants, and a public library. It is open to pets and often has open art / food markets on the weekends. It is close to the Broad Street Line and PATCO. There are many families who live in the area. It is affordable compared to other major cities (NYC, DC, Boston), but there are certainly more affordable areas in Philadelphia, simply without the luxury of being so close to Center City.

A great place to live if you're new to Philadelphia. Extraordinarily safe -- no problems walking alone 24 hours per day. Convenient to groceries (though kind of overpriced, like everything in the area), drugstore, lots of food and shopping. Easy access to lots of transit options like the city bus, trolley, and subway lines, and obviously never any trouble getting picked up by a rideshare. That said, it's very crowded with tourists and shoppers and can be a little too bustling... definitely no neighborhood feel and fewer small businesses with local character than elsewhere in the city.

Middle of Rittenhouse, although you'll find more Wharton students living West of you. ICON is near the border of how far most Wharton students will live. Taking an Uber from the apartment to Huntsman can take longer than expected because of traffic on Walnut Street (there's a lot of construction further west on Walnut). It takes 30-35 minutes if you are walking.

Living in Rittenhouse Square you are right in the middle of everything. It's a 20-30 minute walk to Penn but also an easy bus ride on the 21/42 (two of the more reliable SEPTA lines). It can be a little noisy and crowded but it is also incredibly safe and one of the only parts of the city where I feel totally comfortable at any time of night. Likewise it is more commercial and just less "charming" than living in a neighborhood like Fitler Square.

We are a few blocks away from Rittenhouse Square itself, right across the street from City Hall. The only complaint is that the street noise can be very noisy even on the 15th floor.

The location is very close to both fast casual and sit-down restaurants as well as shopping and workout studios. We are a 36-40 minute walk to Huntsman. It's a little farther from school than 2116, but the SEPTA bus stops right outside the building and runs directly to Huntsman in under 15 minutes. The downside is that it is very noisy, and there is a lot of loitering nearby. However, the building feels very secure.

Rittenhouse Sq is the hub of Wharton social activity, but consider where in the neighborhood you are - east side has more shops/restaurants but is farther from campus, grocery stores seem to be mostly NW of the square, SW is probably the quietest. South side (and anywhere away from the square) tends to be cheaper, quieter, more residential.

Great neighborhood vibe, lots of good restaurants, bars and shopping nearby. Walkable from Penn campus though a long walk. As an alternative to walking, 21/42 buses on Walnut are convenient and plenty of students are always around to split a cheap Uber to campus with. 10-15min walk to 2401 Walnut, Trader Joe's and the liquor store is a little annoying.
