Good Value
Great place to live! Spacious, affordable, and great location. However, it's a condo building so each unit is different (some being much nicer/cleaner than others). It's an older building, so in the summer time there seems to be a bug and rodent problem in some units and in the laundry area.

Good Value and Location
This is a good location and a good value. The amenities may not stack up to some other newer buildings but it is nice. Utilities included helps a lot. Close to center city and school.

Convenient location and great amenities
Perfect location - close to CC and relatively close to the campus. Right in front of the bus stop. Rent includes utilities and cable, and the building has common study space and a small gym. The only downside is that the laundry room is downstairs and the heating system is central, so you can't control heating temperature.

Great Location and Excellent Price
Riverwest has a great location, it is super convenient to get to school, and most of the people who live in the building are Penn or other grad students. The building is a little older, and the units are individually owned so the quality of each apartment varies. The gym is small, but it has enough for the casual gym-goer. 24-hour doorman.

Convenient, safe and well-priced
The building is located in a very safe and convenient area. Lots of restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and grocery stores nearby. Tenants are mostly students. Only major cons are the noise during the weekends (especially with respect to apartments facing the street) and the heating system is also very loud.

Riverwest: high value worth at a convenient location
Pros: 1. Very convenient location: 20mins walking to school, 5 mins to Rittenhouse square, 1 block away from Trader Joes 2. Responsible front desk: handles all your e-commerce delivery 3. Room size is pretty generous. Very good for the price 4. The building includes Cable TV (~100 channels) 5. Decent business center to host team meetings 6. Small gym available. 2 laundry rooms Cons: 1. The condo is older style and not as fancy as some (i.e. Locust 1500), but really good value worth 2. The heater is old and can make loud cranky noises in the night -- not a big deal if you are a sound sleeper 3. Can get a bit noisy on Fri/Sat nights. 4. Elevator can be a pain

Studio in Riverwest: Great Value for Location and Amenities
Overall: - Great value for location and basic amenities. - Amenities include 24x7 doorman, gym, and laundry - basically the only things you really need. - Location - 3 blocks away from 2401, 1 block away from Trader Joe's. A few things to note about Riverwest: - Condos are owned by individuals, so units are in varying conditions and some owners are very responsive while others aren't.

Best location, but with maintenance issues
I love the location, it is perfect for everything: close enough to walk to 2401 Walnut Street, Campus, stores, Rittenhouse etc. All public transport is nearby, including 30th street station. There are cafes, restaurants all around. The apartment is spacious and well designed. There is laundry and a gym in the building. However, this is an old building so I've had a slew of maintenance problems, there is no dishwasher (not a huge negative).

Fitler Square Reviews
That being said I did notice that most students lived on the side of the school!
There are residents without housing in the neighborhood. They're good people and new residents should be respectful of them and their belongings.
Cons: Trader Joe's is the only real grocery store here and may have limited selection for those looking for a supermarket; not as quiet or "neighborhood-y" as other areas, as it is in the heart of downtown; there is a freight train that runs along the river that can be loud, though I got used to it quickly
