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.

Great apt

I really like living at AQ -- the rent isn't bad for being in such a great location, and I feel like the Greystar management is really responsive. Regarding the location, literally a block from a Target, CVS, and Trader Joes -- amazing. On responsive management, a couple of times we've filled out a service request (for a clogged sink, etc) and they have literally done it within a day. The front desk people are really nice and every once in a while they'll have free bagels or something in the morning, or a happy hour. The rooftop is great too. Very smooth system for getting mail/packages. There's always someone at the front desk so I feel very safe here. One downside is minimal natural lighting because we're on the interior of the courtyard so our apt faces other apts. But we still have some good windows. Overall I definitely recommend AQ.

My Experience Living Here

My experience living here has been very pleasant. The only issue is that the floor plans are on the smaller end for the price, but other than that, it's been perfect. The Management office and Maintenance are extremely responsive. We have a 24/7 doorman, a decent gym and rooftop. It's quiet and I have not had a single pest issue. I don't have pets but there's a pet wash in the building (almost everyone has a pet in this building) as well as a room to keep your bike.

Good Value

Best price I found in the Rittenhouse area. Great for Wharton students looking for something basic but close to all the other buildings students live in but cheaper.

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.
