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.

Apartments have incredible square footage and tons of natural light in each room. Quality of finishings is medium to high. Amenities, including the doorman, rooftop, etc. are top of the line and management is extremely prompt with questions/service requests.

The building is really close to the 19th/Market Trolley stop which makes it super easy to get to and from Penn's campus.

Only gripe with this place is that the backside of the building now looks into the Comcast2 offices. At times, it can be a bit annoying.

My 2 Bed, 2 BR is gigantic and is in good condition since the building was just renovated. The gym is also pretty nice. The location is convenient since it's near the 19th st. trolley stop.

However the building has constant issues with fire alarms going off and power outages. I live on the JFK side of the building and the cars on the street outside are very loud. Also, basic utilities are extremely expensive (like $200 a month), so it ended up being much more expensive to live here that it originally seemed. For the price, I think the building has too many issues.

Rooftop pool, lounges and grills are great. Tech lounge is good for studying. Gym is pretty good but not the best for heavy lifting. Concierges are amazing and will help out a lot. The apartments are very modern and spacious.

The cons: windows are thin, so it gets really humid inside the apartments in the summer, so your bed and room may feel damp. The thin windows also make it really noisy, so you need to wear ear plus to bed in order to not hear the street noise too much. Also, the blinds are terrible at blocking out light, so you should wear a sleep mask to get a good night's sleep. also, the shuttle app is not reliable enough to count on it. Also, it’s decently far from Huntsman in comparison to some of the buildings closer to Rittenhouse where most Wharton students live.

Sterling is very conveniently located on JFK Blvd. Trolley at 19th Market is a 2 minute walk away, which goes directly to Wharton. Trader Joes is a 5 minute walk away. The gym is great, and the rooftop deck has amazing views with a swimming pool! The apartment is huge and has a great living room with new appliances. Overall, great apartment, and would highly recommend.

Note the only drawback is the Wharton community is not big at Sterling. Compared to 2116 Chestnut, Wannamaker (which have ~150 Wharton students each), Sterling has only ~30 Wharton students.

No complaints. Location is great, right next to trolley (19 and Market) which is really convenient. Roof deck is really nice. Units are recently updated, but slightly cheap in quality. Includes washer/drier. Overall, just what I'd expect for the price!
