We have a lot of space in a beautiful building and it's a great location--not too far of a walk and close to the trolley if you don't feel like walking. Near a lot of bars and restaurants and Rittenhouse park. The building is big and full of a lot of young people.

I have lived in the Sterling for 2+ years and I love it. The building is in a great location close to Rittenhouse, Trader Joe's, lots of restaurants and bars in Center City.

The amenities are great (gym, pool, package system, tech lounge with meeting rooms and printer). The management and concierge staff are so friendly and responsive to any problems I've had in my apartment. If I have a maintenance issue the repair person comes the same day or next day.

My only issue is the price of rent. My rent has increased every year since I renewed my lease. I am paying significantly more in rent than neighbors in identical units who are moving in now, just because I have lived here longer. So that's kind of a bummer. I think comparatively to other buildings in the same neighborhood the Sterling is a bit overpriced.

Nice building, convenient with gym, pool and a great rooftop. Easy package access system and lots of restaurants / shops downstairs. Walls are a little thin and the apartment has large windows with blinds, but it's hard to make it dark at night with all of the building lights. About 25 minute walk to the law school.

spacious floor plans, i really like my studio apartment. Perks of the amenities include friendly concierges, package locker system, pool, gym, study lounge with printer

I've really enjoyed living at the Sterling. Management is very responsive and it is a comfortable living space. Very close to Rittenhouse Square, but just far enough north that the rent is much cheaper. About a 25 minute walk to Penn's campus, or a 10-15 minute trolley ride. Very close to several modes of transportation, including the Airport Line. Apartment rooftop, pool, and gym are fantastic. I appreciate having a secure mailbox and lockers for receiving packages. Would highly recommend living here. Newly renovated with in-unit washer/dryer.

Pros:
- Apartments are very large (much larger than most of my friends)
- Gym in the building
- Pool and external area in the building
- Very efficient reception and seamless experience with deliveries

Cons:
- A little far from Rittenhouse square (but it was an okay trade off for me)
- You cannot walk to school (but it takes 15 min by the public trolley lines or 15 min by bike or if you plan accordingly you can also take the free shuttle of the building)

This apartment is clean, safe, well-organized, and comfortable. It has been a great value for the money. It's close to Rittenhouse Square and a quick trolley ride (or walk) to the law school. It is quiet and has everything I need. Management is incredibly responsive. I had never rented an apartment before coming to law school, and the Sterling made it very easy.

I love living at the Sterling! I'm a 1L at Penn Law. The trolley is very convenient to getting to campus (door to door in 10 minutes), and the building also offers a free shuttle. The management and building staff are friendly and extremely responsive to repairs. Very close to Trader Joe's and all the great shopping, restaurants, etc in Center City. Coming from NYC where the housing market is very expensive, I appreciate being able to live in a "luxury" building with all the amenities (package service, doorperson, pool, gym, laundry in unit!!!) on a budget. Only con is walls are a little thin.

Building itself is great, newly renovated with nice amenities (biggest rooftop pool in Philly, grill in rooftop, decent gym, study rooms). Also right next to good delis, pharmacies, dry cleaning less than a 10min walk from Trader Joes.

The biggest downsides are:
- No view (building is surrounded by tall office buildings, leaving you with views into people's offices)
- Thin windows!! The streets can get pretty loud during weekedays, so I always have to sleep with earplugs in. The shades are also terrible so eyemasks are sometimes required.
- Could be a block or 2 closer to campus, but not a dealbreaker by any means

I love living at Sterling. The apartment is well located, a little bit outside of the Rittenhouse bubble. It is very close to the train station and to the bus station, if you use this to travel around. Also, the building has a shuttle that takes you to the university so you don't need to spend a penny with uber if you plan accordingly.
