Pros: Really like the spot as a Wharton student. Close as you can be to campus, great spot by river trail, affordable, nice little gym, parking that visitors can temporarily stay in, high ceilings and big units

Cons: Not much super close in terms of supermarkets, limited amount of other food (besides a few sit-down places), Sandy's closed :(

Quick walk to school vs Rittenhouse Square
Nice apartments
Gym in building

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.

Excellent management, spacious apartments

Very helpful management. Very spacious house with upgraded amenities and household appliances.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Locust on the Park is a great place to live in the Fitler Square neighborhood in Center City. The building is safe, clean and kept up well. The apartments are updated and laminate floor is available if requested. There is a gym and great access to a dog park, gardens and the Schuylkill River Trail. They also have a parking garage and flat lot for an additional cost each month. The only downside is the price (it's quite expensive for the space you get) and poor design features of some of the apartments. We don't love our closed in kitchen or overly spacious bathroom with zero counter space. Overall we love the neighborhood and easy access to Rittenhouse (10 minute walk) and campus (25 minute walk).
