The Wanamaker is a great location- close to Center City for school and close to Rittenhouse for social events in center city. The apartments themselves are a bit older, but they are very large.

Great apartment in a great location (walkable to campus). Apartments are good size. Access to discounted cable and wifi as building is a Comcast Community. No major issues experienced. If you are a gym buff, the gym won't work for you, but it has great treadmills and simple equipment.

The one bedrooms are a little on the expensive side but the two bedrooms are a pretty good deal. They are huge 2-bed, 2-bath units. Location is great as it is closer to campus and 2401 than most buildings but still walkable to the whole social scene in Rittenhouse. Building staff does a good job as well.

Great apartment! Very convenient for Wharton students

Location is amazing.

I've had a great experience living at the Wanamaker and it's no surprise that tons of Wharton students choose to live here every year. The location is perfect for walking to school and also very close to everything in Center City. Our 2 bedroom unit is very spacious and has awesome views of the city with big bay windows in the living room. The doormen are friendly/helpful and the management company is very responsive with any maintenance requests, usually fixing them the same day. Working with Alan Domb to sign the lease was a bit frustrating, as they make you provide 4 mos. rent up front if you are a student (first month, last 2 months, and security deposit). Otherwise, it's been a great choice!

I really enjoy the building. However, I believe the gym and the common areas should be renovated.

But the rent fee is bit over-priced compare to other Highrises in Center city.

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.

Pros - accessibility, maintenance conditions Cons - You are NOT allowed to sublet your room
