Sterling

Well priced for living with roommates. Seems overpriced if you live here alone. Fire alarm issues were prevalent at the beginning of the year but seem to be under control now. We have a great rooftop + pool.

Good amenities with square footage higher than that of similar properties. Rent is up by ~20% year-on-year though.

Don’t get a lower floor

I had a number of pest issues and pest control couldn’t fix it. Homeless men also came to my floor and security couldn’t do much other than to wait for police to come.

Nice units and big Wharton contingent. About a block outside of Rittenhouse but very easy to get everywhere.

Great for students

I share a 3B2B with two other Wharton students and we are very happy with it. The apartment is very spacious and the bedrooms are large enough to fit a desk.

Good location and spacious units

Sterling is very conveniently located at around a 25-30 minute walking distance from campus. Also very well connected via public transport, the nearest trolley station is one block away and cuts journey time down to 10-15 minutes.

The building itself has great amenities including an amazing rooftop pool. The amount of square footage you get for the price is fantastic. Highly recommend getting top floor units as ceilings are very high and make the apartment even more spacious.

One issue is that I have to call maintenance relatively frequently for various issues, including leaking sinks and problems with the front door lock. There is sometimes an unpleasant sewage smell coming up from the drains in the bathroom which the building has been unable to resolve.

Reviewed by Temple Law Student living at The Lofts at Logan View
Loved the neighborhood. Paying for monthly parking in a nearby garage was not outrageously expensive, was close to center city for fun and errand-running, Target and Whole Foods nearby made for easy groceries when I didn’t want to leave the city. Sabrina’s Cafe is nearby, which is super delicious. BSL was about an 8 minute walk to either Spring Garden or Race-Vine, depending on if I was going north or south. Great area for walking around and getting out of your apartment.
Reviewed by Temple Law Student living at 2121 Market Street
The apartment is technically between Logan Square and Rittenhouse Square. We live right above Trader Joe's, which makes grocery shopping a breeze. We spend a lot of time walking around Rittenhouse Square and Rittenhouse neighborhood to pick up groceries, drink coffee, and generally hang out with each other and friends. The river walk is a short walk away, and the Museum District is within walking distance. Back when I was going to school regularly, the Septa trolley stop is conveniently right in front of our apartment and the 30th Street Station is a 10 minute walk away. While the amenities leave some things to be desired and we pay a premium for our location, it is a great place to live especially for newcomers to Philadelphia who want to be next to all the action.

Unless you mind the noise of cars in the street below, you will not have any issues. Given that is center city there are many people experiencing homelessness so if that is a deal breaker I recommend other neighborhoods. The upside is being 5-10 minutes distance from all the fun, restaurants, activities, nightlife, etc.. that you will ever need.

Super close to Whole Foods and Trader Joes, and I love the walk along the parkway. It's close to various museums which is great! Overall the neighborhood is pretty residential, but there are coffee shops and to-go restaurants that are easy to access.
Reviewed by Penn Resident living at 1919 Market
The neighborhood is a little more commercial but only a minute away from everything wonderful in rittenhouse. But it feels very safe at all times because it’s on a major street.
Reviewed by Penn Carey Law Student living at 2040 Market Apartments
It is a great location. The law school is a 15 minute walk. Most of Center City is also within a 20 minute radius. A lot of other law students live nearby.

Lots of great bars and restaurants in the area. One of the safest and nicest areas in Philly. There are generally lots of people walking around.
Reviewed by Temple Law Student living at Franklin Tower Residences
Close to tons of great places to eat/drink, shop, etc. Walking distance to anything in Center City/Callowhill/Art Museum areas.
