The building is very old. You can see this in the windows, appliances, floor, etc. There is not widespread but recurring mice infestation issue. I actually had to deal with that problem in my unit. Management team is unreachable which almost makes their existence pointless. Other than that, the staff including doormen is very kind. There is also a huge variance in quality of the units because the building in a condominium. If you are considering this building, you must check the unit out in person.

I've lived here since august 2019 and it's been great. There are not a lot of wharton students in the building but that's not a problem for me. You're perfectly located right on the square which is fantastic. The building management is very nice and attentive - anytime I have a problem they come fix it within the day. I have a balcony and an amazing view. I feel very safe in the building. There aren't nearly as many amenities in the building as there are in the newer construction but I find I don't use them anyway.

The most welcoming introduction to Philly

Good but old apartments

Very good standard units. Covid has impacted amenities. Doormen are excellent.

Great building with very friendly and attentive doormen. The building itself is not the most accommodating, and has strict rules about the use of elevators, bringing large items into the lobby, and has A VERY STRICT no pet policy (with large fines for violations). The extra amenities (gym, pool including access to the roof) cost more. There are also often things breaking or malfunctioning, including: the fire alarm going off constantly due to building or construction errors; the garbage disposal breaking and pipes clogging often; and the heater malfunctioning or the management not being attentive as to when they need to switch it from AC to heating, and vice versa.

But my apartment is recently renovated and lovely, and a great space (albeit small, especially when both of us are working from home during quarantine). The corner apartment brings in so much light, and the balcony is an amazing addition, which gives us a little more room, and made it possible to work outside over the summer.

It’s incredible. So safe, in such a great area, and the building itself is beautiful.

Nice building with good doormen

I love the building and the space but the fire alarm goes off once a week or so and sometimes at 3am. The doorman are super nice and I feel very safe in the building. Great location, utilities and cable are included in rent which is a great perk. Internet only costs $25/mo because of their bulk deal with comcast.

Building is great overall, but each unit is different and individually owned. 10 star versus 5 star rating dependent on the side of the building you are on and floor. If you look over the loading dock it is noisy!! Can’t sit on the balcony due to noise and must have the updated sound proof windows. Staff is nice. Great pool. Perfect location. Package room Monday-Saturday with text alerts. Frequent fire alarms in the middle of the night. $300 moving in/out fee.
