Great lofts, close to campus
Locust on the Park has great, recently renovated lofts. The building is located along the river, very close to a dog park and to school. Management can be annoying but once you have moved in, involvement is minimal. Overall very happy with this apartment.

Super nice place
This is a great building and great apartment, but it's about as expensive as it gets in Philly. That said, Dranoff Management does a great job. They've been extremely responsive and easy to work with.

Awesome Apt and Building - Location a bit out of social scene
Our apartment is an extremely spacious, high ceiling 2 bed/2 bath. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about the building, management, or other residents. In addition, every unit gets an external storage unit which is immensely useful in terms of reducing clutter. They just re-did the lobby and the entire gym so they look really good. In addition, being right on the river offers easy access to running tracks and outdoor space. In addition, it's closer to campus and walk is about 15-20mins, which is 10-15 shorter than Rittenhouse.
Outside of that, the building is a bit removed from the main social scene around Rittenhouse Square so the walk can get a bit tiresome, especially when cold/raining. In addition, the closest corner store/Rite Aid is four blocks away. Nothing outrageous but just irksome enough to be worth a mention.

Great place to live in
This is the closest you can be to campus, but still live in Center City. The building is well maintained, and the gym is great. It's in a quiet area, which is great if you are not the party type.

Locust on the Park
Location is perfect for MBA students wanting to live within a reasonable walking distance (~20 min) of school. Loft apartments are absolutely beautiful, huge windows and a lot of sunlight. Management is fantastic. Prices very reasonable. Plenty of closet space. Pretty good gym included.

Beautiful Rooms with 12 ft ceilings
Large, spacious apartments with modern furnishings including wooden flooring in the shared areas and granite kitchen tops. Ceilings are 12ft high and windows take up most of that space letting in a lot of light. well stocked gym and across the street from the Schulkill trail which is a great place to run. Management is available and fast to react if there are any issues. For students at Penn, 20 minute walk to campus, 2 minute walk to 2401, 7 minute walk to Pub and 15 minute walk to most places in Centre City. Trader joe's is about 10 minutes away and there are smaller convenience stores nearby. Surrounding area feels safe at night.
It's close to budget but you get so much more for your money a little further from Center City and you're by no means far from the action. The high ceilings do also mean that you need to buy more lamps to get light in the evening.

Fitler Square Reviews
That being said I did notice that most students lived on the side of the school!
There are residents without housing in the neighborhood. They're good people and new residents should be respectful of them and their belongings.
Cons: Trader Joe's is the only real grocery store here and may have limited selection for those looking for a supermarket; not as quiet or "neighborhood-y" as other areas, as it is in the heart of downtown; there is a freight train that runs along the river that can be loud, though I got used to it quickly
