Amazing apartment

Really love living at the Rittenhouse Claridge! If you are looking to live in Center City, this is the best building to live in. Relatively affordable rent compared to other nearby properties + all utilities except internet and cable are included in the rent. 30 minutes from the hospital and located right next to two bus lines that will get you to the hospital/school in less than 15 minutes. Lots of amazing restaurants around. Easy to get around from here due to the many public transportation options around. Highly recommend!

Good location, terrible management team

For the price you pay, you can rent in other buildings in a similar location that are better renovated.

Management team is unresponsive and incompetent. Would not recommend, especially for international students

Thin walls

Very thin walls. Can hear the neighbour talking, coughing, watching TV, running water, flushing toilet. Can also hear the upstairs neighbours' footsteps.

It's Fine

For the most part, this building is great. The elevators are slow and there is always one or two that are not working. Management is responsive, the people at the concierge are very helpful and nice. The location is great, I have never felt unsafe here. My studio is very small, but there's a lot of storage. I think it is worth the price.

Very happy with the building!

Other than the elevator repairs causing long wait times, I'm very happy with the building. Maintenance is fast, the small gym is sufficient for my needs, and the staff is helpful.

Find somewhere else

Old building, no control over heat or AC, mice problem on some floors, expensive, hard to move in/out. Does have a doorman which is nice but most apartments in Philly do. Management only responds when called out and forced. Maintenance team is good though. Under constant construction. I’d look for a different place.

School life balance in the city

I really enjoyed living in the city my second and third year. It gave me another element to my every day life. I truly loved it and would highly recommend the Rittenhouse area for the east access to train lines as well as the highway

Amazing location, beautiful renovated apartment, great experience!

Rittenhouse Claridge is in an amazing location ON Rittenhouse Square. There's a farmer's market outside every Saturday and Sunday and tons of great restaurants and shopping around. Around 30 minute walk to campus or 15 minute bus ride that picks you up right outside and drops you off at JMEC. The building is currently being renovated but most units have already been renovated and it's a beautiful place to live. They're redoing the roof now which should be open in about a year. The study lounge is a great study space if you need a change of pace and the gym is nice too. Overall 10/10 would recommend!

Rittenhouse Square Reviews

582 reviews
Walnut street is very safe - there's always people around and it's well lit. The neighborhood includes all of the fun aspects of living in Philadelphia - tons of access to food and bars, nearby grocery stores/markets, access to the parks and the Schuylkill River Trail
Very close to fun restaurants/bars/shops. Close to the subway as well as the train station (suburban station).
Rittenhouse is the safest part of Philly. It's a very "happening" part of town—lots of restaurants and bars on every street. At the same time, it's right next to more residential neighborhoods to walk around in and explore. It's a great place to live relatively close to the law school but with a degree of separation so as not to get trapped in the law school bubble.
The neighborhood is both quiet and lively. There is so much around, but I have never had an issue sleeping or studying because there is too much noise. The broad street line is a 10-15 minute walk away and we are close to shopping, food, the park, and the river trail. Has everything within a 10-15 walk.
This neighborhood has everything I need within walking distance. Shops, grocery stores, parks, the subway and trolley, post office. You name it. It's very safe and extremely quiet, which helps when I'm trying to study. The Rittenhouse Square area is really the best place to live in Philly if you don't mind paying a little more.
I love this neighborhood and knew I wanted to live here when beginning my apartment search. The park is one of my favorite places in the city, and I love being able to easily access all the restaurants and shopping nearby. It's also an easy (~20 minute) walk to Penn Law, and the walking commute has always been a nice and peaceful part of my day.

Spruce Street in particular is great - it's a little south of the square, so is quieter/shielded from a lot of the traffic that the neighborhood gets, but it's not out of the way or far away. There's a Starbucks, a grocery store (Rittenhouse Market), and a few corner stores (Four Seasons and Food & Friends) within a 2-3 minute walk of my apartment.
Love the neighborhood, Rittenhouse Square is beautiful and we are so close to the more commercial areas like Walnut Street while not being in the center of the craziness. Plus we are within walking distance of public transportation including 10 minutes from the 15/16 street PATCO station. I personally think it is one of the best areas of Philly to live in.
Rittenhouse Square has a park in the center surrounded by a bookstores, restaurants, and a public library. It is open to pets and often has open art / food markets on the weekends. It is close to the Broad Street Line and PATCO. There are many families who live in the area. It is affordable compared to other major cities (NYC, DC, Boston), but there are certainly more affordable areas in Philadelphia, simply without the luxury of being so close to Center City.
