Not a bad place

Doormen are great, and I think the rates are great for the space. Proximity to the law school is pretty nice too--there is a bus stop literally less than a block away for rainy days. You are right on Rittenhouse, which can be great but also a bit of a curse because you get some loud/ sketchy people sometimes. Lower floors can have loud volume too at night but otherwise quite nice. People are great in the building, which helps.

Other: elevators can be a bit slow, appliances are a bit dated, rental payment etc. is not on the nice platforms that allow easy autopay,

The Wellington is a great place to live

I absolutely love the apartment and the building. It is extremely upscale for the price. My only complaints are that the elevator frequently breaks and the gym is not in the building, it's down the street.

Overall great building with very friendly and responsive onsite staff. Great location. Our unit was fully renovated prior to move in. Management company is a bit difficult to work with. Road noise is loud on lower floors.

Great value, great staff, great location

Great value for ~830sf, doorman, in-unit laundry. Amazing location right on Rittenhouse Square. They’re constantly investing in the building — they’ve redone the hallways since I got here and are currently converting the front entryway to automatic sliding doors. Staff is extremely friendly and make you feel like family.

Downside: Only a few Wharton students, so less social than other buildings. Limited amenities aside from the amazing doorman operation and front desk.

Great building, friendly management

Staff at the building are super friendly, and 24H doorman is super convenient with picking up packages.

Building is pretty quiet since there's a mix of older people and students. Super great location since it's right on Rittenhouse.

The major con is that there's construction next door (across from the church on Rittenhouse on Chestnut St.), which is pretty loud in the early morning and definitely violates the city's noise ordinance.

Older building but well-maintained.

Keep an eye out for apartments that have central heating/AC - not all apartments have it.

No pest problems, feels very safe.

I don't have in-unit washer/dryer, but there are card-based machines in the basement that are clean, and I've never had a problem finding an open machine to do laundry.

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
Reviewed by Temple Medical Student living at 1600 Walnut Street
Very close to fun restaurants/bars/shops. Close to the subway as well as the train station (suburban station).
Reviewed by Penn Law Student living at The Dorchester
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.
Reviewed by Temple Law Student living at N/A
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.
Reviewed by Temple Medical Student living at AQ Rittenhouse
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.
Reviewed by Penn Carey Law Student living at 2043 Spruce Street
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.
Reviewed by Cooper Medical Student living at The Wellington
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.
Reviewed by Cooper Medical Student living at 1612 Pine St
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.
