The location cannot get better

Right in front of the SEPTA bus stop, BofA ATM, Irish Pub and close to many grocery shops, laundromats and in the heart of Center City, the Wanamaker House is the perfect location for a Wharton MBA student.

Quiet, Spacious

Good comfortable and sunny space. There is a carpet which sub-optimal, otherwise the building is nice.

Location, location, location

The location is the single best feature about this building - 20-30min walk to campus yet minutes from Rittenhouse square. The apartments inside the building probably vary in quality given they are condos - mine is ok, I'm paying for the location more than anything else. Good amenities in close proximity of the building with SEPTA bus stop nearby, Rite Aid a few minutes walk and Trader Joes 10mins away. Overall, a great place to stay.

Studio in the Wanamaker

Each apartment's bathrooms and kitchens are different since some are updated and others not (also some units have hardwood, others carpet), and because of this, prices can range as well. However, if you get a good price, this place is a great building to live in. A lot of Wharton students, no issues with noise from other apartments, very convenient location, safe and overall comfortable.

Great location, so-so value

Great location, awesome front desk staff, and I'm overall pretty happy with the apartment but I don't know if its the best bang for your buck. The apartments themselves are a little older - older appliances etc but this isn't reflected in the rental price. That said, we do have a really awesome view, nice new carpets, and a good amount of space. The one thing that we were NOT expecting was how expensive our electric bills have been! We paid $180 in August for electric for a two bedroom apartment! It's been pretty crazy.

Allan Domb has been fine to work with and is quick to respond to repairs - one downside was the hassle of giving 2.5 months rent as a deposit - it was a ton of money upfront.

Wanamaker House

The best part of this place is the location. It is closer to campus than most housing options and still within walking distance of all Rittenhouse activities. I would say that we also got a great deal on the place by work directly with the owner. It is also great because so many students (Wharton, other graduate schools) live here, so you can always find someone to help with something if you need. The negatives are that you cannot sublet during the summer and the building has recently undergone some renovation (now complete, but for a while was waking us up in the morning).
