Locust on the Park is a fantastic building to live in! All of the units are very bright, spacious, and have high ceilings. The management and doormen are great and very friendly. Management/maintenance is very responsive -- the few times we have had something break it has been fixed in less than 24 hours. The location is perfect for almost all Wharton activities -- 1.5 blocks from 2401, 3 blocks from Pub, and essentially the closest you can get to Huntsman while still living in center city. The only downside to the location is it is slightly further (4-5 blocks) from many of the bars frequented by Wharton students, relative to how close some of the more popular buildings are. Another perk to the location is being right next to the river and running/biking path. The has a mix of Wharton students, other Penn grad students, young professionals and young families.

Great neighborhood, really high ceilings

We love living in Locust on the Park. Very close to 2401 Walnut and friends at Riverloft. Less than 20 minute walk to school, 10 minute walk to chestnut and walnut downtown restaurants and bars. Not a lot within 2-3 blocks commercially, but that means it's quiet, great, safe residential neighborhood. Gym, doormen and management are great. Really nice, helpful maintenance staff and things get fixed within 24 hours.

Locust on the Park is a great building. Small, well run, nice amenities. Pricey, but worth it, especially for the location, access to a gym, a full time doorman, and on-site parking (though that costs extra).

Positives: 15 minute walk to the law school; Right on the river trail; great doormen; safe; quiet. Negatives: walls are a bit thin; no dogs allowed; old appliances; small for the rent

I've been very pleased with Locust on the Park. Although its more than I expected to pay in Philly, it's one of the nicer buildings in University City, has a solid gym, has some great restaurants nearby and is a short walk to the Law School

24 hour doorman building - great if you have a car and want a relatively affordable parking option. Staff is wonderful - very friendly and helpful doormen and maintenance. Have never had any problems. Close and easy commute to Penn's campus (walking) or in the case of inclement weather, by bus or taxi.

Best things about Locust on the Park: 1. Locust on the Park is a <20 minute walk to Huntsman 2. <10 minute walk from Rittenhouse Square 3. Great management company and amazing doormen 4. 14 foot ceilings and giant windows 5. Right on the river, which is great for running

Conveniently located between campus and center city (25 and Locust), at the very start of the river trail (great for runners). Quiet residential neighborhood but few blocks away from CC. Spacious industrial apartments with very high ceilings and large windows, good views with the possibility to face the river. Full gym downstairs and good lounge/meeting room. Great concierge service (online package notification, service requests, amenity booking, etc.). On-site management.

Positives: 1. It is just a block from 2401 Walnut - where we've started having team meetings, coaching sessions, etc. 2. I walk to and back from school almost every day too - 20-25mins :) 3. Gym in the building + the river trail is great for running in case you like that. 4. We had washer/dryer in the apt. Negatives: 1. No grocery store nearby - I do a weekend trip to Trader Joes. 2. The staff have been great to us and very helpful too, though I know someone who had issues with her roof and the time they took to fix it. 3. You will feel lazy to go out for some dinnerdrinks because it is a few extra blocks but on the whole I really like the place. I'm moving out only because I'm going out of town for a dual degree next semester - would have totally stayed on otherwise.
