Amazing building!

The studio floor plans are excellent. I love the walk-in closet. The management is responsive. Easily more than 50 Wharton MBA students (if that matters to you). My only issue with the unit: the AC fan only has one speed setting which some people may consider too strong/loud.

Good building, terrible management.

Pros: The building is great, very comfortable. The apartments are nice and you can really make it feel like a home. The amenities are pretty good too (jacuzzi, gym, business center), though I don't use them that often.

Cons: The management is awful. Do a quick google search on "Greystar management reviews" to get a sense.

In my experience, they are usually combative when issues arise about the livability of the apartment and have terrible communication with the tenants of the building around resolving these issues. Also, elevators seemingly go out on a weekly basis and are in no rush to fix the situation. The printer in the business center has not worked in the 6 months I've lived here either.

Luxury building

Luxury modern highrise with spacious units. Conveniently located and popular among Wharton MBAs. However, management company is not very responsive.

Management not effective

Don't expect management to be communicative or let you know if elevators are down (so you have expectation of delays), etc.

Awesome Building. Totally worth the money.

I would highly recommend 2116 to any incoming student. While it's a bit pricier than other housing options in the area, I think the price is totally worth the added security and convenience. There are a lot of Wharton students in the building which makes it easy to get Ubers to class in the AM.

The building is in great shape and has a very responsive management team. The studio apartments are massive and you can't beat in-unit laundry machines!

I recommend leasing early to get the best price.

Love it!

I love living here! While it is pricey, I am completely satisfied with my decision. The studios are spacious, the views are amazing, the concierge and maintenance staff are lovely, the location is optimal (right between Center City and Wharton), and you have free access to the gym, study rooms, media room, common rooms, balcony, and printing (!!). In addition, you have complete control of your thermostat, yet my utilities have been <$40. I paid extra for hardwood floors, which make the apartment even nicer. Oh, and the entire building consists of Wharton students, which makes it fun (like a college dorm). My only complaints are that some of the spaces close early, the hot tub is shut off in the winter, the washer/dryer leaves a lot to be desired, management is unsympathetic to complaints (I found it easier to deal directly with maintenance), and getting a room here was super hard (contact the building early and get on a waiting list just to keep your options open). I plan to renew my lease next year!

Great building!

I live in a beautiful studio with tons of closet space and a full glass wall of windows overlooking the Schuylkill. The appliances are all new. The building is very responsive to maintenance requests and has bent over backwards to help me with unique requests when I've been out of town and needed help with things in the building. The concierge staff is lovely and seems to know every resident and their unit number.

The building has fabulous common space including a gym, party room, theater, and computer room with meeting rooms and a printer (very handy for students!).

Fitler Square 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.
