There are so many reasons why I love living at 2121 Market. The apartment itself is really spacious--way bigger than other 1brs in the Rittenhouse area. The building is a converted warehouse so the ceilings are really high, adding to the spaciousness. It also has huge windows so there is lots of natural lighting. There are not that many grocery stores in the Rittenhouse area, so being above the TJ's is a big deal. 0.25mi from the Schuylkill River trail and 0.4mi to Rittenhouse Square as well. The doormen are super friendly and are not strict about bringing guests to the rooftop.

So far we have had a great experience living in this apartment building. It's right above Trader Joe's, and close to Center City stuff, but also an easy walk to school. The management is very responsive to requests for maintenance, and the apartments are very affordable for what you get in the area.

Pros: 14 ft. ceilings. Huge windows. Hardwood floors. Two big rooftop decks with tables and chairs. Nice gym. Doorman Building. Laundry on every floor. Right above Trader Joes and the 22nd street Trolley Station. Less than 20 min walk to the Penn Campus, 10 mins on the trolley. Great location. Great place for a student living alone.

Cons: Thin walls and the sound travels. It's a quiet building so this won't be a problem unless your neighbors have more than one resident or a dog. Occasional roaches. Very basic appliances. High ceilings means high bill for heat/AC if you aren't careful. If you're looking for a building that is tight with security, makes visitors sign in, or stops non-residents at the front desk, this is not the place for you.

It is a great place to live!

I’ve lived here with my fiancé for 2 years, and she lived here for 2 years with a roommate before that. It’s super easy to get to the law school (7 min trolley ride or 20 min walk) and living in Center City is great for having a life outside of school. In terms of amenities, there’s a doorman, a pretty big gym, and laundry on every floor. The corner, 2 bedroom units are huge. Appliances could be updated but they’re still very functional. Management has always responded to our requests promptly.

My apartment building is perfect for me when it comes to law school. It is only a 15-20 minute walk, perfect to listen to a podcast or clear my mind. In the event of bad weather, I can take the trolley to the law school. It stops right in front of my building and drops me off on the same block as Penn Law. The one-bedroom is spacious, although a little pricey. However, I have a gym on the top floor and living alone was important to me. I did not want roommates, for at least my first year, so I could focus on my studies. Also, I wanted my bedroom to be separate from my work/living space. Further, I wanted enough space to have a desk, because I do my best work at home with access to the gym, food, coffee, etc. to break up the long hours of studying. You will have to pay for utilities (water, electricity, and internet), but all together, no more than an extra $100/month. The security attendant is 24 hours/day, which is amazing and also important to me.

I've enjoyed living in my building. I feel safe and close enough to walk almost anywhere.

2121 is close to the Penn campus (relative to other housing options in Rittenhouse) - about a 25 minute walk. It's also right next to the trolley entrance for rainy or cold days, or when I'm running late. The trollies run every few minutes on weekdays, so it's quite convenient. I'm also right above Trader Joe's, which has helped me cook more and eat healthier.

The apartment building is a renovated warehouse, so there's lots of brick, super high ceilings, spacious units, and great big windows for lots of natural light. The overall complex is well-maintained, relatively clean, and generally pleasant. It's not super posh, and we don't have fancy amenities like some other swanky apartments have. Though we do have a rooftop gym and lounge area, including an outdoor area with nice views of the city.

Overall, my experience here has been simple, problem-free, and convenient. My unit is very comfortable, and my rent is a pretty good value. Ultimately a nice option for other Wharton students.

Great location and awesome price for what you get

Love my apartment! 20 foot ceilings and spacious. It's more has more of an industrial than luxury vibe but it's a great find. It's a closer walk to campus, located above trader Joe's, and is central to everything...!
