We have enjoyed living at the Riverloft. The apartments are spacious and airy. Pet friendly. The 24 hour Rite Aid across the street is key. We rent a parking space so its easy to quickly get out of the city. The front desk and security people are very nice and I can say that we have great relationships with everyone. The only downside for us is that not a lot of families with small children live here.

I have a one bedroom apartment, with an open plan kitchen. Our apartment is one of the few that doesn't have a mezzanine bedroom, but rather has a separate room (with a door). The entire apartment is very spacious, airy and bright. The bathroom is HUGE and the walk-in closet is a blessing. The gym in the apartment is basic but more than adequate. The best features of the apartment, outside the flat, is the conference room - a lot of Wharton meetings are held here. The front desk folks are very very nice and really helpful. They look out for the apartment residents and their friends. The only thing that is missing is a swimming pool.

Review about the location, will depend on the person. Its close to the university, and the student space at 2401 Walnut

Riverloft is very nice. The staff is friendly. The only issues are that my doors keep breaking and there have been 3 fire alarm drills in the past 5 months.

Pros:
- Our manager is super reactive to requests.
- Maintenance requests are done day-of
- Large well built apartments
- Quiet (south facing apartments)
- Good meeting space (conference room / media room)
- Awesome location for Wharton (next to 2401, 17mn walk to Huntsman, across Good Karma Cafe, next to two CrossFit gyms, walking distance from Rittenhouse square)

Cons:
- Parking is overly expensive, as a result garage is barely used.
- Gym is incomplete. Needs more types of machines.
- No rooftop or outdoor space.

Riverloft is the ultimate in convenience. The walk to and from campus is 15-20 minutes and the walk to City Hall (and less for all the hot restaurants and bars) is only 10-15 minutes. The security guard mildly oversees operations at the lobby and is usually responsive to issues that arise in the building. I have received several noise complaints due to the thin walls, but with a few adjustments - this issue has been rectified. There is a gym on the 2nd floor, and the apartments have very large windows and ceilings. It is a loft style, and is great for having about 5-15 people over. Tred lightly with the partying here, but I have had 60-70 people fit rather tightly into my apartment. Overall, a semi-vanilla renting experience that I have come to appreciate for its overall convenience and low cost!

Riverloft does not have leverage or does not try to work against utility companies in the negotiation of utility prices. Residents are required to manage their own relations with the electric utility company and pay for the electricity bill for public spaces in the building. This can make monthly electricity bill extremely high and meters are sometimes inaccurate in accounting for usage, making it a hassle to deal with. Management is not flexible and often charge absurdly, however maintenance in the building is good.

One of the best buildings to live at Wharton from all of the other buildings I have been to.

The 3BR apartments in Riverlofts are a great deal. We pay $3,750 a month between the three of us (avg $1,250 each) for a comfortable loft style apartment with high ceilings that is over 2,000 square feet. Our only initial concern with the apartment was that the loft bedroom wouldn't have privacy, but this turned out to be zero issue at all (installed some blackout curtains). The place is great for hosting parties, and the thick walls keep our neighbors happy. Management is helpful and very responsive. Enjoy it very much.

Most of the apartments in the building are 1BR which are very spacious and good for couples, but pricey at over $2,000 a month.

Great location, and the management team here is amazing. They are however remodeling the building, so I do expect rents to go up.

Large rooms and well positioned in between center city and wharton. Possibly too "middle of the road". Management company very responsive to any problems. Expensive for what it actually provides.
