Just two blocks from Rittenhouse Square and surrounded by Philly’s best stores abs restaurants, this apartment offers great value for the price. Natural lighting could be better, and it can be easy to hear neighbors, but the unit is very comfortable. Management has also been pleasant to deal with.

I liked my place because it was reasonably priced for a 1 bedroom. The downside was not many Wharton people living in the building (which could also be good if you need a break at night). It's located closer to the city hall. However, it's easy to take buses to the campus. Walking is fine. Not much amenity other than a gym, which is often very quiet.

Good experience overall. Minor maintenance issues were addressed quickly. Not much as far as amenities go.

Apartment is great so far, nothing amazing but no complaints!

Great location

I've really enjoyed my time at the Sansom and feel like it is underrated for the value it presents. Overall, highly recommend though there are not as many Wharton students living there.

Pros:

- Good value - reasonable rents for the location (2 blocks from Rittenhouse Square, situated close to a lot of restaurants)

- Clean and well-maintained - lobby area and common areas are kept very clean and maintenance requests are promptly addressed

- Friendly staff - all the staff are super friendly and accomodating (helpful with packages, questions, moving, etc)

- Spacious living area (see below) with pretty good natural light/lots of windows

Cons:

- For Wharton students, about 35 mins to campus (which is 10 mins longer than some of the closer properties)

- Bedrooms are a little small and some have structural beams going through the space in an awkward way. Have a walkthrough and understand if it's something you can live with - I've found it doesn't impede my use of the space at all.

- Electric lighting can be dim after the sun goes down

I love my apartment - lots of light, lots of space. I haven't been able to find a one-bedroom unit with this much space and at this price point anywhere else in Philly, and the units are all new - so in-unit laundry, modern amenities, etc. It is also super close to Rittenhouse Sq, so walking to all the meetups is also not an issue.

Apartments are great. Good appliances, good layouts, cheaper than apartments close to the river. High ceilings. Location is close to the action but a little loud. Building is a low rise so no real views -- many apartments either look at parking garage or back alley. Walls between apartments are VERY thin.

There's a small gym and patio for the building use. Inconsistent front desk staffing. Management was great at responding to issues in the apartment though (e.g., sink fixes).

The building and its units are new and spacious. The high ceiling is a characteristic I personally cherish as well.

The units on high floor and facing South have amazing lighting.

The building has a gym and a small terrace. They are both decent, but not really impressive.

Face Sansom st (not alley), great deal, new kitchen, full size washer/dryer, responsive maintenance
