Overall, am very happy here and plan to stay next year.

Pros:
-Everything is new- the AQ just opened in spring 2015.
-The apartments have wood floors, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances.
-In the summer and early fall, the roof deck is AWESOME.
-My studio has a lot of natural light but this factor depends on layout/location of apartment within building.
-Lots of Wharton students in the building. There is almost always someone to split an Uber with.

Cons:
-There have been some recent issues with leaks and with hot water going out.
-The "gym" can barely be described as one. There's just one treadmill, one bike, one elliptical, and some free weights. There's no room to stretch out or to do walking lunges, etc.
-Greystar's management is pretty annoying but that seems to be universal across Philly apt. buildings.

This luxury building opened up in the summer of 2015 so everything is brand new. The pros are that it is close enough to Rittenhouse square but not so close that it may be unsafe at night (you wont see homeless people during the wee hours of the night). It isn't as busy as Walnut so things are a bit more quiet. I enjoy how it is between 2401 and the park so a lot of my friends actually visit me and this is our "meeting spot" rather than going to the park or somewhere a bit closer to campus like 2400 Chestnut.

As for management, when moving in they did not institute rules such as having to pay $500 to reserve the rooftop, a guest limit of 4 people, or having to break down boxes and move them downstairs for recycling. This is the only complaint I have which I guess was unavoidable since the building was brand new and they weren't sure what rules would be needed.

The building is very pet friendly with a dog wash and the rooftop is amazing. The gym is very small though (only 4 machines). There is very little storage space in the 2BR/2BA, especially in the kitchen.

I love this building and location, especially the roof. The only thing is that the apartment overall is a tad small, especially compared to other high end apartments for the same rent.

Brand new building so everything works well and is nice. However, it's a bit overpriced for what I've seen in the neighborhood.

AQ Rittenhouse has been a really great place to live. The apartments are brand new so everything looks really great. While the apartments are pretty small, we pay under $2400 for a two bedroom which is much cheaper than two bedrooms at other new apartment buildings like 2116 Chestnut or the Icon. The apartment has a really great rooftop but it closes at 10 pm. The gym is also pretty small so you will probably have to get a separate gym membership. The best part about the building is the location. There lots of great bars and restaurants nearby, it's only about a 20 minute walk to campus, and its less than a $10 cab ride for anywhere in Center City.

New, updated apartments. Gym is tiny. 24 hr doorman. Apartments and rooms are small. Great location.

Very good place to live...close a lot of food joints and bars. Access to a fantastic rooftop.

2116 is one of the newest buildings in Center City. The location is great, the units have nice hardwood floors, beautiful bathrooms, and stainless steel appliances. The building does not seem to have the wisest construction for something brand new- there is not much storage, some of the angles are weird, and the layouts could be better. Management is excellent, responsive, friendly, and professional. Maintenance is quick and thorough. Roof deck is nice, but the promised grill is not there. The "gym" is really an afterthought, especially given that the building is new and could have planned for something bigger. The units are a bit expensive for what you get.

AQ has a few benefits:
- brand new building, so everything looks new and clean
- a really nice rooftop - though pretty unusable in the winter and the lounge attached to the rooftop closes at 10pm so can't really have people over.

Negatives:
- no other amenities. The gyn is paltry, so expect to pay for a real gym membership.
- rent isn't cheap - $2450 could get you more value at other buildings (eg Claridge)
- apartments are small. Storage space is minimal.
