The Versailles

Pretty nice building and spacious relative to a lot of the other Philly apartment buildings. It's not as well known as other Wharton buildings, so fewer students live there (could be viewed as either a positive or negative). Main drawback is that it is pretty far from campus, located over on 16th

The Versailles is a great building for pet owners, including a dog park on the roof. The apartments are huge and the location is close to Rittenhouse Park while still being on a quieter treat.

Moved in July 2020 to get more space during Covid. Top benefits are large, open spaces in the apartments, very nice common spaces (rooftop, kitchen), very pet friendly (dog run on roof with a community of pet owners) and responsive management. Expensive compared to other options, but absolutely worth it when spending >20 hours indoors a day.

On the second floor you get more street noise, but that would be the case anywhere in Philly.

The Versailles is great, especially for pet owners. I also like that it's near Rittenhouse Square without being on Walnut or Chestnut. It's a little quieter.

Awesome apartment building. Newly renovated in the last year or so. Great gym, rooftop w/ amenities. A few minutes further from Penn's campus if you're headed there but the bus and trolley are a close walk.

Recently renovated. There are some things the management is doing right, but some could be improved. Overall its a beautiful building and construction is now almost complete. Very nice amenities, relatively small high-rise (~100 apartments) and big 1-BRs (1000+ sq. ft).

The Versailles is incredibly spacious. It has old architecture and the South side has lots of light. I recommend a higher floor since it can be easy to hear traffic on lower floors. The doormen are super friendly and neighbors are great. Building is currently being renovated though.

A lot of space, but only 1 bathroom is kind of bad. They are renovating the apartments, so def. should be an amazing upgrade once they are done! Small gym is nice-2 treadmill, 2 ellipticals, 2 bikes and some weights! Friendly maintenance men! Old building but a lot of space for current price.

The building is beautiful with lots of natural lighting and massive apartments. Sometimes have issues with getting hot water but the management is very responsive. Doormen are super friendly!

We get a lot for our money at the Versailles. There are three of us living in a 1700 sq ft apartment, with a very large living room and full dining room. The bedrooms are also decently sized. It is an old building so there are somewhat frequent issues with the elevator and water pressure/temperature. When there are problems, management is very responsive. There are a mix of students and older people in the building, so they do tend to be strict about having large parties. I like the location because it is near Rittenhouse Square and a lot of bars/restaurants. The downside of the location is that it is at the far end of Rittenhouse so it is a longer walk to school than many other buildings.
