Latham Studio Great for Grad Students

The Latham building provides studio options that are newly renovated and have tons of storage. The building is quiet and W/D are free for residents with two on each floor. We also have access to the 1700 Chestnut property across the street to use the gym and amenity space.

Perfect if you don't need a ton of space

Updated kitchen and bathroom, with a tiny freezer, dishwasher, oven and microwave - super cute. Not a ton of space (this was a former hotel), but if you come in knowing what to expect this is a great value option in the heart of Rittenhouse, on a safe street, and with lots of food options nearby. ~30 min walk to campus but right next to the bus stop. The CapitalOne cafe downstairs is a bonus for coffee addicts!

Nice but expensive

The place itself is really nice, it is just really expensive. I will not be living here next year due to the price, but if the price is not an issue I recommend it!

Good company and area makes it worth it

Have lived in my studio for two years. No complaints my first year. Property super responsive, safe area, modern/up-to-date facility, access to gym (across the street in the neighboring building). Since covid and WFH still no major “issues” with the building, but the studios are VERY small—mine is like 300sq ft—so may not be the best choice for spending all day in the same room. But the location and building make it worth it. I moved to the Philly area not knowing anyone, so safety was my biggest concern and this was the perfect solution. The whole building is studios and most of them are other students. Lots of girls. Not a social building and very quiet.

The Latham

Apartments are renovated with great appliances and amenities. Only downside is the square footage. The studio apartment I am renting is just under 300 sqft.

Perfect for 1 person but small for 2

I like the location, my unit's finishes, and the management, as well as being able to access 1700 Chestnut's amenities. The units are small and even mine, one of the largest, is not enough room for a bed, kitchen table, and couch

Love it but Pricey Studio

I love living in the Latham. The facilities are clean, the amenities are great, and the apartment itself has large windows and updated appliances. It's a great space to live - the building is all studios and is usually very quiet.

It's a bit pricey though, and I think you could get a similar living experience for a bit cheaper!

Great place to live alone in Rittenhouse

I love my apartment space and the building, staff, location, and amenities. My only. It is a little expensive but worth it for the way they treat us. I only wish the units had washer-dryer instead of on the floor.

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.
