Building is very nice with good amenities.

Expensive if you don't use the amenities.

The management allows subletting so it is a good option if you are away during the summer. The building allows flexible month on month lease renewal after year one so it's a great for 2nd year students who may not need a 12 month extension. One big issue is that the penalty on late payment is 10 percent of total rent even if you are delayed only by a day so be careful about that clause in the rent agreement.

Biggest complaint is the elevators are slow but they have gotten better. I think the issue is somewhat over discussed. I am on a penthouse floor (P1 through P4 are penthouse) in a east facing one bedroom. If possible, I think the west facing side of the building is good as you can be much lower and still have an unobstructed view. Penthouse floors have wood floors. Gym and swimming pool are nice, not the same quality you would get a professional gym but they have dumbbells, weight machines and cardio equipment with TVs. A little bit far from campus (1.9 miles to 38th and Walnut), but if you are a first year and get on the bus for 9am class you will always have a spot on the bus at 16 and walnut or 15 and walnut. The 2401 off campus meeting area is far as again you are somewhat on the eastern edge of where students live.

1500 Locust is okay

With the exception of slow elevators that have had numerous problems, the staff at the building is very friendly and dependable. If you're looking for a doorman building with some amenities like the upstairs lounge and other services, I would definitely recommend it. The only downsides are that it's pricey compared to other buildings and 15th street can seem pretty far east compared to other Rittenhouse-centric buildings.

Very expensive. You paid more for common areas as gym, rooftop and swimming pool but you never have the time to use it. Management is pretty strict about dinners and parties. If you like to host, you will have trouble.

Love the building! There used to be an issue with elevators breaking down but that is no longer a concern. The building has the best rooftop in all of center city. The study area, movie lounge, gym, swimming pool area are also excellent. The management is also very responsive with work orders. When I moved into my apartment, they were helpful and agreed to add extra hanging racks and towel rods.

It's one of the best residences in center city. Only thing that I feel somewhat inconvenient is distance from school.

The rooftop deck and swimming pool are awesome. I almost use it everyday with my wife and baby. They all enjoy them. The elevator problem is okay. I don't think it is so terrible as people said.
