Studio / 1 bath
Great doormen and support services
Items are fixed immediately, but, besides lights, very rarely break. Gym is decent (light on weights) and has short hours until 10pm but otherwise very sufficient. Not the most attractive apartments and some have very dated kitchens, but if you can get a remodeled unit, the kitchen is incredibly functional and provides a lot of great space. Not an ideal building if you want to have larger gatherings (even dinner parties) due to the layout of the living room being longer rather than wide and the building is very strict about noise.

1 bed / 1 bath
Amazing location and great price. Good option for studios and 1/2 bedrooms.
Amazing location (1 block from rittenhouse square). Many Wharton students live here, but it's a good mix of Wharton vs. non Wharton residents. Gym and pool are included in the rent. Doormen are generally nice, although a couple of them sometimes have attitude problems. Studio layouts are great and spacious, some 2 bedroom apts have weird layouts. Pricing is very good - some people went directly through landlords and got a better deal than going through Allan Domb.

Wanamaker is convenient and cost-effective
Our apartment is somewhat unusual for the Wanamaker because it has three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The layout is very convenient and we have a lot of space for the money that we pay. Location is also extremely convenient and it's great that so many people live in the building. Our landlady isn't great but depending on the apartment it shouldn't be an issue.

Overall I am very satisfied with our living experiences at the Wanamaker
The building is really conveniently located, not too far of a walk from campus and still very close to everything in center city. The doorman staff are friendly and are there 24/7. Our unit is owned by the building management company, and they are very timely and responsive with any maintenance requests. The living room is pretty spacious and has great views. Kitchen appliances are somewhat outdated, depending upon the unit, but still work very well. There are also a ton of other Wharton and Penn students in the building, so its not hard to share cabs.

Great location, view and maintenance.
Excellent location - Closer to the campus than most other buildings. Very helpful doormen and management office. Infrastructure is well maintained. Includes gym membership.

Great place to live
Great location, great doorman, great amenities. Only downside is its pricey, although it is comparable amenities-wise to buildings directly on rittenhouse square while being significantly cheaper per square foot.

Perfect location, very well-managed building with decent gym and nice rooftop pool. Lot's of Wharton kids live here.
Building is in a fantastic location. The front door staff are very professional and take very good care of the building. There is a decent gym as well as nice swimming pool on the rooftop. The units are tad bit on the old side but other than that, absolutely no complaints. Really nice that 50+ Wharton students live in the building.

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.
