Enjoyed my time here

I have really enjoyed my time in Riverwest- the apartment is a good value, brightly lit, and safe. The building itself is a little older and not as recently updated, especially in the hallways, but the amenities are good and the price is hard to beat!

Amazing Location

I enjoy living there and the location is amazing! There are some unfriendly front desk staff and they just let about anyone into the building without checking their IDs or what they are there for. My packages have been lost at the front desk. I think that they need a better system for all of those packages.

Great location, but could use some updating

This is a perfect location for people who want to be close to both Center City and University City. The front lobby has 24 hour security and a common area with TV, couch, and dining table that can be used for larger gatherings. Amenities are pretty basic and could use some updating. The apartment itself is also pretty basic, but has the essentials. Good amount of closet space and large windows let in a lot of sunlight.

Riverwest Condos

Conveniently located at the intersection of 21st St and Chestnut St, just across the bridge from Penn campus. You get to enjoy the best of being close to both University City and Center City. Rittenhouse Square is just a quick walk away. Trader Joe's is 2 blocks away and lots of restaurants are close by. Also has a basic gym in the building and 24 hours security desk.

Great Location!

Really liked the community amenities for the building such as the reading area in the common room, small gym, and the fact that there are bars and restaurants right at the front door. With 24-7 security guard, I feel pretty safe living in the building.

Riverwest Condos

Great place to live. The rent is affordable (depending on the owner of the condo) even though its a coveted location right in downtown. So many restaurants and stores nearby with Trader Joe's as a great bonus. Great package pickup service at the front desk along with friendly staff. Lobby was newly renovated as are many of the units.

Living at Riverwest

Picked this place mainly for the convenience of it's location. Very close to University City but still in Center City where a lot of the great bars and restaurants are. The studio I rent is a good size for an individual, price is ok. I really like the common room areas on the first floor. They come in handy for studying or meeting up with a friend. Getting packages is pretty safe and haven't had problems with the quick elevators!

Riverwest Studio

The studio that I rented is privately owned condo. I thought that unit itself was very well maintained. Issues with the water/plumbing and leaky refrigerator, etc. However, the building itself is maintained just fine. People come to clean it regularly. The laundry situation can be annoying though. Mostly because you have to buy a laundry card and the machine doesn't accept $1 bills.

Close and Affordable!

River West is so close to campus and right on transportation and bus lines! For the location, it's very affordable and the front desk staff are always friendly and welcoming! Nice to have a gym on the premises and so many restaurants in the area and even in the building!

Fitler Square Reviews

294 reviews
Fitler Square is really cute and homey. It's around a lot of other medical students, so it's a good social area and has an easy commute to school. It's also great if you like running because it's right off the trail on the river. Food is good but a bit homogenous (compared to West Philly especially.
Locust and spruce feel a lot safer than market or chestnut at night. Very residential streets with beautiful brownstones. Also close to dog park and the river walkway. About 10min walk from the popular buildings and 25min walk to huntsman
good place for people new to the city! close to both Penn and a lot of stuff downtown. I never lived in Philly beforehand, and definitely recommend this location
Love the neighborhood! If you're interested in being close to the center of the city and being able to actively explore Philly (for a not extreme price) it was great! Also was easy to get to my school - University of Pennsylvania. 15-20 mins to get to school by transit; 30 mins walking.

That being said I did notice that most students lived on the side of the school!
The beautiful tree-filled neighborhood is full of families, dogs, and students - it is safe, full of great restaurants, and boasts an equally quick walk to both University City and downtown attractions. The immediate access to the Schuylkill River Trail also can't be beat. While we lack apartment amenities, we love living in a historical brownstone that has charm and character. This is an area where you can live as a student and stay for another 20 years after that.
Great neighborhood, though expensive for Philly. If you're a Penn grad student who wants to be near campus but not on campus, it's ideal for distance from school and the Rittenhouse area. Lots of parks and residents are friendly.
There are residents without housing in the neighborhood. They're good people and new residents should be respectful of them and their belongings.
The neighborhood is very residential. Not a ton of bars/restaurants which can be annoying if you just want to pick up food after a busy day, but it's right near the park and Skukyhill river trail which is great for exercising and getting outdoors. Close to Trader Joe's and South Street market which is convenient
Center City is a fantastic area. I live on the northern side of it, which is the more financial/industrial/apartment building side. I live 2 blocks from a busy Trader Joe's and inches away from tons of great restaurants, corner stores, and shops. It's close to Rittenhouse Square, a swanky square block with a tiny park in the middle, as well as the Schuylkill River trail (great for running and biking) and the Art Museum area. Multiple major bus lines slice through this neighborhood, making it quite easy to get anywhere when you don't want to walk or bike.
