Building is a bit dated and since it's a condo, tenants have to work directly with the condo unit owner.

All utilities except internet included. Good location for walking to campus. Be aware though, there are mice in the building. Building manager is pretty useless. Elevators frequently broken. None of these were dealbreakers for me though, and it's a fine place to live, but not luxurious.

The location is perfect. It is close to Rittenhouse Square, Trolley Station, Trader-Joe. Value for money is very good. I rented the unit with furniture. The building is a little bit old, so the quality is lower than high-end buildings such as 1500 Locust and 2116 Chestnut. But, accordingly price is much lower than equivalent units in those buildings. The biggest issue with the building is the old heating system, which makes a lot noise during the winter, esp. in the nights. But, after a while, I got used to the noise. I consider to rent again my unit in the next year.

Location is close to armory, food, bars and Septa. 20 minute walking distance from Wharton.

Great value for the price. Convinient location to Rittenhouse, school, 2401 space, trolley, etc. Friendly doorman staff. Sublet is fine during the summer. Could be a bit noisy. The building itself isn't anything fancy. Gym included, but very basic.

Riverwest is a convenient building for MBA students, no luxury accomodation but it works.

I love my apartment. Units in Riverwest are condos, and a mix of building- and landlord-owned - mine is landlord-owned, was recently remodeled, rent includes all amenities except Internet, and from the seventeenth floor has a fantastic north-facing view of the Schuylkill. I understand units nearer the ground floor have more street noise and less-amazing views. The building is safe and very quiet, and the front desk team is friendly and helpful. I'm otherwise entirely indifferent to the building - amenities include meeting spaces in the lobby that are great for group work, a gym (stationary bikes, treadmills, an elliptical, limited range of free weights), and laundry facilities, but common areas have not been remodeled in years and have an old, run-down feel. The building also drives a lot of energy waste - the heating system is centrally controlled, and most units are overheated during the winter, with no recourse except to open the windows. If you're considering Riverwest, in addition to the regular photos visit process, you should be aware of two implications of its being part landlord-owned. First, you should ask the previous tenant or landlord about neighbors - if your neighbors own their units and prove difficult to live near, the building is not empowered to evict them or impose any behavior modification measures. Second, you should look for inventory on Craigslist, as many owners do not advertise through the building's management.

The location is great as the building is close to the buses that take you to school. The buidling is also close to most popular hangouts for Wharton students. It is close to Trader Joes as well as 2401. A lot of Wharton students live here and in the buildings close by. The quality of the building is ok. The heating system is old and very noisy. Walls are thin and neighbours can hear each other sometimes. The gym is decent. I don't have any major complaints with the building other than the noisy heating system. I am was looking for an affordable place with a good location and I am satisfied

This area is very convenient - it's close to Trader Joe's, Rittenhouse Square, and is near the route for PennBus East. The residence has a nice view of the city, and there have been little to no problems with insects or rodents. The apartments are spacious, and though the heating is centralized, the building is kept at a good temperature throughout the year. The gym downstairs is perhaps not as well maintained as a professional gym, but it's kept cool and relatively clean (though there could probably be more sprays and towels around the gym to encourage people to wipe off the equipment after use), and it's seldom packed. The Schuykill river trail is also nearby, as are other gyms/workout areas. The people manning the front desk are friendly, though not necessarily very responsive to problems with the laundry area (some machines force you to swipe the laundry card twice, others keep running perpetually, and there are also machines that run initially, but stop in the middle of the cycle).

Pros: - Excellent location (transportation, close to TJ, Trolley, Rittenhouse sq.) - Good value, relatively cheaper than other buildings - Friendly staffs (doorman, management) Cons: - Elevator is under replacement construction so it's slow - Some construction noise from the building across the street - Heating is central system. It's often too hot in the winter time.
