AQ Rittenhouse

I love my apartment, the building is very conveniently located, there is a front desk with a concierge who receives my mail, etc.
I do think one side of the building does not get natural light, which is the case on mine, but I do not mind it.
I also think I get a good value based on the fact that I live in a one bedroom with a den.
There is a small gym downstairs that has a fair amount of equiment for basic exercises.
When I have called maintenance before, issues get resolved fairly quickly.

Amazing location, good management, decent apartments and poor amenities

Perfect location: super close to the most popular Wharton buildings and Rittenhouse square.

Management is good, I've never had problems with them.

The apartments are good: wooden floors, decent kitchens. Some apts might be quite small (I'm in a c. 680 sqft apt but have a big den that takes up a lot of space. I use it to store everything that I don't want lying around the apartment, but the living space isn't big). The building is U shaped, so some apartments face each other and that can be annoying for some people.

Great value for the location, but minimalistic & limited lighting

Great value for the location. Building and amenities are on the minimal end but functional. Major downside is limited direct sunlight and windows. Good property management who’s very responsive

Good enough for your all basic needs

It is like 200$/mth cheaper than 2116 and 2040. Small building, small gym, but it is on a great location. It has just a couple of Wharton folks if you want some space hehe but it is close enough so you can visit them in their buildings hehe.

AQ Rittenhouse Review

The biggest positives are that the apartment is relatively cheap and close to Rittenhouse; however, it's a case of you get what you pay for. The lighting in the apartment is quite poor - the common rooms don't have ceiling lights and our apartment is internal facing so it gets 0 sunlight. The amenities are mediocre as well. The gym is quite small if you like to do anything except run on a treadmill.

Great value and location but limited amenities

AQ Rittenhouse has a great location - right by lots of restaurants and stores on Rittenhouse Square. The building’s apartments are smaller than those in other buildings but the prices are also a great value. The amenities are however a bit limited - there is a small gym and rooftop area but they are pretty basic.

Walnut street is very safe - there's always people around and it's well lit. The neighborhood includes all of the fun aspects of living in Philadelphia - tons of access to food and bars, nearby grocery stores/markets, access to the parks and the Schuylkill River Trail
Reviewed by Temple Medical Student living at 1600 Walnut Street
Very close to fun restaurants/bars/shops. Close to the subway as well as the train station (suburban station).
Reviewed by Penn Law Student living at The Dorchester
Rittenhouse is the safest part of Philly. It's a very "happening" part of town—lots of restaurants and bars on every street. At the same time, it's right next to more residential neighborhoods to walk around in and explore. It's a great place to live relatively close to the law school but with a degree of separation so as not to get trapped in the law school bubble.
Reviewed by Temple Law Student living at N/A
The neighborhood is both quiet and lively. There is so much around, but I have never had an issue sleeping or studying because there is too much noise. The broad street line is a 10-15 minute walk away and we are close to shopping, food, the park, and the river trail. Has everything within a 10-15 walk.
Reviewed by Temple Medical Student living at AQ Rittenhouse
This neighborhood has everything I need within walking distance. Shops, grocery stores, parks, the subway and trolley, post office. You name it. It's very safe and extremely quiet, which helps when I'm trying to study. The Rittenhouse Square area is really the best place to live in Philly if you don't mind paying a little more.
Reviewed by Penn Carey Law Student living at 2043 Spruce Street
I love this neighborhood and knew I wanted to live here when beginning my apartment search. The park is one of my favorite places in the city, and I love being able to easily access all the restaurants and shopping nearby. It's also an easy (~20 minute) walk to Penn Law, and the walking commute has always been a nice and peaceful part of my day.

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.
Reviewed by Cooper Medical Student living at The Wellington
Love the neighborhood, Rittenhouse Square is beautiful and we are so close to the more commercial areas like Walnut Street while not being in the center of the craziness. Plus we are within walking distance of public transportation including 10 minutes from the 15/16 street PATCO station. I personally think it is one of the best areas of Philly to live in.
Reviewed by Cooper Medical Student living at 1612 Pine St
Rittenhouse Square has a park in the center surrounded by a bookstores, restaurants, and a public library. It is open to pets and often has open art / food markets on the weekends. It is close to the Broad Street Line and PATCO. There are many families who live in the area. It is affordable compared to other major cities (NYC, DC, Boston), but there are certainly more affordable areas in Philadelphia, simply without the luxury of being so close to Center City.
