AQ Rittenhouse has been great for us. They keep things pretty clean and looking nice, cool rooftop, good security. Good value for the price. Building is only ~3 years old.

pros:
- great building
- modern apartments with hardwood floor
cons:
- units are on the smaller end for the price you pay

Management of the building is pretty uptight. It's expensive to rent the rooftop and they will reprimand you if you try to bring too many people to the rooftop. There are so many lame rules such as if youre check bounces once, then youre no longer able to pay by check and must pay by cashiers check going forward--there is NO leniency on this. The doormen are amazing and super nice but the building management itself is incredibly difficult to work with. I would not not recommend living here.

Great building in prime location for Wharton students. Look for apartments facing Chestnut street for the best views and light. A lot of the units face an internal courtyard so room gets dark and people can see into each other's apartments -- steer clear of those.

Great location. Target, CVS, Trader Joe’s, all within two block radius. There’s also an urgent care clinic right down stairs.

The building is renovated about two years ago, so appliances are new and shiny. But sound proof isn’t good. Could do with thicker walls. Shower head water pressure isn’t great, but that might be just my room. Management is overall responsive, although not always helpful.

AQ Rittenhouse - pretty good place to live. Well managed, easy access to the Trolley and the 21/42 Bus, and nice amenities. Relatively new building and pretty good value for the neighborhood.

Good plug and play option. Floorplans are on the smaller end, but well layed out floorplans with more usable space than some other options in the area.

Alright, so for the price, I was disappointed that I wasn't getting a state-of-the-art gym or an awesome entertainment center. But it's located centrally, you get an incredible roof deck, and management is dependable.

I live on a side room, and the room's very oddly shaped. THis means it's difficult to find furniture that fits. Oh, and if you're one of those people who likes it to be pitch black as you sleep, this is not the place for you.

This is good. Lots of other wharton students around.

AQ Rittenhouse is a brand new apartment building. Everything is new and shiny which is great. When looking for an apartment at AQ, try to get something at 8th or higher floors. The apartments below are dark and don't have as much privacy as people in the other wing can peek into your apartment. The apartments on higher floors have a great view and have lots of sunlight. The apartments are somewhat small compared to most in the locality. So the rent may feel expensive for the size of the apartment.
