Old Building with Charm + Amenities
It has everything I want! Great location, in-unit laundry, tons of natural light. It would be great to have outdoor space, but otherwise, no complaints. :)

Fantastic
The Carlyle is a gem. It is an excellent 24 hour doorman building with responsive maintenance staff and a familial environment for all residents. The building is in a safe part of Rittenhouse and has a good mix of grad students, retirees and families in the building.

Good Value
Great apartment for the price, in a really good location, with a doorman and a small gym. Lower floors cheaper than higher floors.

Old building, but great value.
We've enjoyed our stay at the Carlyle. Although the building is pretty old and lacks some of the modern amenities that you'll find elsewhere, there are other aspects that make up for it. You can't beat the location, the doormen are awesome, and the rent is relatively affordable. We had some issues with the management company when we moved in (i.e. the apartment wasn't cleaned, a few maintenance issues, etc.). They were pretty horrendous at responding to those things - but that building manager has since left and the service is improving.

Cozy Apartment in Rittenhouse
An older building with less amenities than other apartment buildings in Philadelphia, but the doormen and maintenance staff are incredibly kind and responsive, the location is perfect (just a block off of Rittenhouse park), and the apartments are spacious.

Highly Recommend
Great apartment building! Perfect location for Wharton students because you're in the center of everything. Spacious bedrooms and large living room. Our doormen are fun and quirky. Only issue with the apartment is that its an old building, so the fuse in the kitchen breaks easily. Need to limit how many items you have on at one time.
My roommates and I signed a 2 year lease without even touring the apartment and we've loved our experience!

Great Value
Carlyle is close to the park and other popular buildings for Wharton student at a fraction of the cost. Our unit is super spacious with abundant sunlight and is great for hosting. However, there are only about 20-30 Wharton students in this building so it is not very social. Some neighbors are on the older side and would report you to management if you are "loud" and have people over past 11 pm.

Good building, right next to RH square
While the building itself is pretty old, we have one of the more recently renovated apartments in the building, so it’s pretty nice. That said, you won’t find the same amenities (gym, pool, etc) that you see with other newer buildings. However, the price point is pretty good, especially given the great location. Also the management company (Alan Dombs) isn’t that great; they’re extremely slow to respond and you have to remind them multiple times of you want to get something done. All the building staff(doormen, cleaners, etc) are very friendly though.

Rittenhouse Square Reviews
Spruce Street in particular is great - it's a little south of the square, so is quieter/shielded from a lot of the traffic that the neighborhood gets, but it's not out of the way or far away. There's a Starbucks, a grocery store (Rittenhouse Market), and a few corner stores (Four Seasons and Food & Friends) within a 2-3 minute walk of my apartment.
