The Wanamaker is a great building
Location is excellent, and the amenities (gym, doorman, pool) are great. The apartments are spacious.

Wanamaker - Great building, Wonderful Doormen - Highly Recommend!
Wanamaker House is very conveniently located for a quick trip to campus. It's less than 30 min. walk and less than 15 min. bus ride. Bus stop is steps away. Doormen here are awesome! They are always so friendly and helpful. In addition, there's a great little gym on the top floor with wifi access as well as a rooftop pool open during summer hours. My studio is not modern whatsoever, but it's a great size with lots of closet space. Overall, it's been absolutely easy living in the Wanamaker!

The Wanamaker is a perfect combination of great location, amenities, apartment style and price.
The Wanamaker has been great. It is a condo building so the apartments are inconsistent. Mine is not newly renovated but even with the carpet and old appliances it is very nice. The building has a full gym and pool with 24 hour doorman. Great views with floor to ceiling windows in each room. The elevators are a little slow. From a location standpoint, it is great to still be in the Rittenhouse Square area and be walkable to class. The walk is about 25 minutes. Being right across from Irish Pub is convenient but it is a little bit of a walk to the rest of the bars/restaurants in the area.

Excellent building, slightly pricey
Really a very good building. Lots of Wharton students live here. Slightly pricey but I think it's worth it for the location, the niceness of the building, having a 24/7 doorman, etc. One of the few buildings I found where you can get a studio with a great view. At the time of writing (11/2913) the building has some hot water issues in the mornings when everyone is showering at the same time, but management claims they are fixing it by adding more boilers -- make sure to ask about it before signing your lease.

Great location
Great location. Good lobby. Apartment interior could use a bit of makeover but is fine. Has carpeting (prefer hardwood)

Rooftop pool is great when its open in the summer
There are usually 2 doormen on duty, so everything runs smoothly and is very safe. The building has a nice entrance. The rooftop pool is great in the summer, though most students are not around to take advantage of it. There are great fall views of the city from the rooftop though once the pool closes. Gym is good for cardio. Easy 20 minute walk to campus.

Perfect location on Walnut.
Closer walk to campus then most buildings and still walkable to all of the Wharton bubble. Lots of Wharton students, big apartments, and decent staff. Gym is ok and pool is nice but only open in summer.

Great condo and apartment building, but landlord is slow to respond to requests.
Everything about the Wanamaker condominium is great: management functions really well, security is great and very nice, maintenance responds very quickly to any request. Everyone is very trust-worthy. Land-lord is extremely slow to respond to requests and apartment was not clean, and needed maintenance when I received it.

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.
