Good full-service building
Good building with 24-hour doorman, small gym, and huge rooftop pool. Feels a bit like we get nickle-and-dimed as gym and pool require additional fees. Also, building manager Kyle treats Wharton MBA tenants like second-class citizens. No pets allowed.

Great apartment and location
Good apartment, but note that the building is slightly old. Amazing location near Rittenhouse Square.

Reliable Choice
The Dorchester is a good value (reasonable rents, utilities are included) in a great location, but isn't a particularly modern building. That said, it's well maintained and has lots of Wharton students.

Rooftop pool and great location
After a long day working in center city, there is nothing I love more than coming home to a rooftop pool in the heart of Rittenhouse square. From the moment you walk in, you feel like you are in a luxury hotel. A bit pricey, but worth it for the luxury accommodations and relaxing environment. Always feel safe and welcome in the community. Lots of great amenities and perfect location in Philly near shops, restaurants, bars, etc. Love living here!

The Dorchester
Great location. Not very social. Super safe but also hard to have people over because doorman will call for every single visitor. The gym is in the basement so no sunlight but never crowded. My apartment has 2 closets and plenty of space in the main room.

Enjoyed living here
Student atmosphere can affect noise levels in the building at times, as there are many students from UPenn here. Amenities are solid, management varies if you have a private owner versus Allan Domb etc, no complaints about my landlord (private), location cannot be beat, gym is okay but adequate for basic workouts.

Great building, lots of upsells
Central Rittenhouse location (right on the square!), 2-3 blocks from two different grocery stores, and a half block from 7/11 for emergency snacks. Careful for upsells: $15/mo for gym, $240/season for pool. My utilities are included and I really like Kyle Maloney (the building manager)--he's always quick to respond to any issue! Small downside: while it is safe, it can take guests several minutes to get through building clearance.

Awesome building, huge studios
Love the location and quality of building, plus my studio is massive for less than I might pay in The Wanamaker, but the building doesn't have a general study lounge or any extra space like that of The Claridge and 2116 Chestnut.

Rittenhouse Square Reviews
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.
