Spacious, new amenities/furnishings, incredibly friendly management & staff.
Any issues (e.g. light bulb) get fixed on the same day.
Building plans bi-weekly events/happy hours in the lobby, e.g. holiday wine&cheese, free pretzel day etc.
FREE bus right outside the building every 10-15minutes to school.
Great proximity to Trader Joe's, the trolley, Hubub, Wawa, Matt & Maries, 18th St Suburban Station (train to NY).

A lot of people think Arch Street is way too far, but it's not. It's a five-minute walk to Rittenhouse Square and it is close to the trolley station at 19th/Market, so getting to campus is easy (and more convenient than getting on an overcrowded bus on Walnut). The value is fantastic - great front desk folks, spacious and renovated, great for people who want to have a bit of quiet but want to be walkable to the action in RIttenhouse.

1835 Arch is a great building to live in, especially if you are ok with being 3-4 blocks away from Rittenhouse Square. It's clean throughout and constructed well, with high ceilings and newly-renovated kitchens. The doormen are friendly and there is little noise (thick walls between units). And even though it is farther from campus than Rittenhouse, it is only two blocks from the trolley line, which zips you to class more quickly than the SEPTA bus does.

Best building in Philly. New appliances, extremely friendly staff, maintenance responds to any issues on the same day (only had a light bulb change thus far). Regular food/drinks in lobby. Gym and conference room included in building. Best decision as a Wharton student. No issues with elevators, pests, management etc. Only tradeoff is the couple minutes walk north of the square, but closer than many other buildings. $500 referral policy. Efficient utilities (only ~$25-$35 for 1bed/month). Could not be happier about my decision. Signed 2 year lease to lock in the rate and subletted for a month before move-in. Can/will also sublet for the summer. I have lived in several apartments across New York, Chicago, and San Francisco, and this building is hands down the best experience.

Historic building in excellent condition. Any issues are addressed promptly, the location is fantastic and the trolley stop is very easy to get to. I also really like the loft style units with tall ceilings.

It's not as far from rittenhouse as people make it seem. It's actually only a 10 minute walk to the square. And super close to the trolley stop at 19th and market.

Almost total occupancy at The Lofts. We have super-spacious apartments with high ceilings, excellent staff (doormenrepairmen). The building is super couple and family friendly. We are minutes from Trader Joes and Whole Foods. Plus we are a block from the trolley station - so no slow bus to campus in the winter.I love love love this building and wish I could find something this great yet affordable in another city.

Pros: Nice doormen, good location near Logan Square, short walk to 19th street trolley, easy access to suburban station and airport line train, Benjamin Franklin Pkwy is great for evening walkstouring with out of town guests. Cons: South-facing building across from large surface parking lot and adjacent to large development under construction. Street noise can be bad on weekend late-nights, especially due to Mission Grill, which turns into a night club on Friday and Saturday nights 10PM-2AM. In hindsight: Living on NorthNorthwest side of building at least 7 floors up should solve these issues and add nice views.
