Location is both a pro and con - love how it is close to school (20 minute walk to Huntsman), but that walk from 19th to 23rd street can be very sketchy late at night. The worst part of the building is by far the management. They started construction literally right after I moved in (thanks for telling us before I signed the lease, guys), and it's going on for at least one year. Front door staff is COMPLETELY incompetent, very lazy, always falling asleep, and to call them "security" is completely laughable. I would probably explore other options close to campus, like the new building on 22nd/23rd & Chestnut if you want a modern building. Pretty fed up with Riverloft. They also have a wacky pricing scheme that is based on a "proprietary pricing model" (yeah, OK) which basically means that your neighbor might be paying hundreds of dollars less than you for the exact same apt, same floor, facing same street, with no obvious difference to your apt.

The apartments here are expensive but the location is good and the units are spacious. You are a 15 to 20 minute walk from campus and within easy walking distance of most of center city. The staff is generally pleasant and helpful. There are a lot of Wharton and other graduate students who live in this building so you will probably know a decent number of people in the building. The only negative about this location is the price. There are cheaper options if you are willing to look at brownstones and places with less amenities.

Great for walking to class and right across from Sweat Fitness. Lots of square footage with a modern feel and its close to the Schuykill river, which has a great running path. One downside is that its not close to many restaurants.

Apartments are nice and relatively big, 24 hour doorman. However, the building itself is old which results in poor heating system, old kitchen and bathrooms. It is overpriced.

The building is in a great location but is expensive compared to other buildings nearby. The staff is very responsive to issues and is generally very friendly. Our main knock on the building is that the fire alarm has gone off ~5 times since we have lived there.

Highest ceiling in Philly, very spacious, next door to rite-aid (24 hour), closest to school at CC. 10 minute to rittenhouse, not much within 5 minute walk.

Nice & safe building but avoid the side facing either Walnut or 23rd street as it is noisy from traffic, bus stop, Rosie's Bar. Also know that they will charge for move out costs ($300 for cleaning and carpets as well as extra - i was quoted $200 for general upkeep of the apartment) I moved in in September and got a discount on the rent. If you sign a 22 month contract that locks in the rate for the duration of the tenancy. If you intern over the summer and want to sublet you can - if you notify them they will make you amend the lease ($150) or you can do it behind their back.

Lots of things to like (location, good building management, good amenities like gym), but pricier than most housing options avilable in Center City.

The Riverloft is clean, well-managed and spacious. In spite of paying a premium, I still can recommend this place!

Overpriced for what you get. Better value throughout Center City. I have had issues with mice and the administrative staff. There is constantly large amounts of chunky dust (i.e. ceiling plaster) falling into my kitchen and any food left out (hence the great pizza disaster of 2012). They market this place as a luxury apartment complex when in reality it still seems like an old factory converted into decent apartments. While an overall ok experience, I expected better for my money.
