Wanamaker is a great value building in a prime location in Rittenhouse. The recent renovations to the lobby and common spaces have made it much more comfortable. My apartment is clean and quiet, and I've never had problems with rodents, pests, or getting minor things fixed. Some of the front desk staff could be friendlier, but overall they have a great system in place to accept packages and let deliveries in. Management was also great over the summer during protests--sending helpful emails to residents about city curfews additional measures they were taking.

One of the best values in a 1bdr in Philly. Lots of space, floor to ceiling windows, and friendly management. Apartments and appliances are old, but good quality and still work well.

Very beautiful view, amazing space, remodeled so it's very new and the amenities are great. Property hires are all great people & very nice.

Given the fact that you are located in the heart of Rittenhouse Square and are within a decent distance to the UPenn campus, you get a great deal. I have a studio apartment and it's comfortable enough for my partner and I to live here without being on top of each other too much. No real issues with thin walls or pests. The floor to ceiling windows are fantastic.

The property manager, Allan Domb wasn't very flexible on lease terms when COVID lockdowns started happening, which was a bit of a turnoff, but ultimately decided that it was better to stay put in an apartment that I liked and was happy enough with than to go through the stress of moving into another place in the area.

Love this building - beautiful views, super-spacious layouts, and lots of storage. Beautiful common areas and very close to bars and restaurants.

I've had a great experience living in Wanamaker and think it is a great value apartment building. Apartments definitely vary, however - try to find a newer apartment with newer kitchen / bathroom and hardwood (as opposed to carpeted floors). The buildings management team is who I go to for any issues (as opposed to Alan Domb), and they are very responsive and helpful.

Great value for the space - a little outdated

2020 is a nice building. Location is good. All rent is very expensive.

Average building

Each unit depends on the owner. When we moved into our unit, we had to email the owner with 20+ items to fix. Moreover, our unit's AC would never be able to cool below 75 degrees - during the summer this was very annoying as it would often be 78 degrees in my room even with the AC running constantly - so basically paying a ton for little results. Also prior to us moving in, they said that the amenities room should be done by end of August. In reality, it's already November and it's still not open to residents yet. Pros are that our unit is very quiet even tho we're not on a high floor. Cons are: all the construction led to severe allergies and being sick for over a month, and issues with AC/move-in condition of the apartment. I would not recommend renting the unit that I lived in - apt 8E.
