Fine, if overpriced

(+) Love having a lot of Wharton students in one building
(+) Great amenities
(+) Gorgeous views on either side of the building, especially on higher floors
(+) Friendly & helpful maintenance
(+) Excellent location - in Rittenhouse but only a 25 minute walk to Huntsman
(-) Disappointed that there isn't a swimming pool like other high-rises
(-) Non-Wharton neighbors can be very sensitive to noise

Egregious rent for living in a glorified form with a completely incompetent management team. Door people don’t take packages, finding your package in the room take 30 minutes +, trash chute is out of commission for 1/4 the year, extremely loud due to paper thin / cheap walls, etc etc. Worst of all, management actually tried increasing my rent $900 PER MONTH upon renewal. Extremely disappointing experience, and I can’t wait to move out. I hope students find alternative housing going forward and this building finally pays the piper.

Beautiful building/apartment! Great management. Mix of hospital staff and Wharton business school students mostly. Safe, quiet. Pricey in terms of rent but worth it for location and quality

2116 doesn’t allow 2 year/22mo leases, and then they raise the rent on you when you have to renew (they raised my rent during covid). In general, they seem to find every last chance to charge extra fees - like they added a monthly trash fee, and they added a common area fee...while my rent is already higher than it was for my West Village NYC apartment which feels absurd since this is Philly.

That being said, aside from the price gouging, I have liked living in the building.

If I were starting Wharton now and expecting to work remotely/spend more time in my apt due to covid, I would probably have chosen a 1br somewhere else instead of a studio in 2116.

2116 is a great choice for any MBA student - whether single and looking for a studio or family with kids and dogs looking for one of their swanky two bedrooms. The building is well located (for both school and social activities), clean and nice, and full of Wharton students.

The only downside is that it is a tall elevator building which can get annoying at times when running in and out (or running late). It also obviously lacks the cuteness factor of other Rittenhouse options.

The apartment is great - modern look, modern feel, pretty apartments and a decent amount of amenities. I loved my place and where I stayed. That said, you live here if you want to be a bit bougie or with other Wharton people. I think 2040 market is better value for your dollar, but less nice.

The management team is incompetent, the utilities are outrageous (even including electiricty for "common space" that we can't use because it has all been shut down.)

They said you have a doorman, but they do not accept packages, open the door, etc. It is unclear what their role even is.

The package room is a complete disaster, and it often takes 30+ minutes to find your package. This is also a Covid concern because it is a small, poorly ventilated room with many people in it searching through a sea of misplaced packages.

The apartments themselves are cheaply outfitted. Thin doors break, the drywall is thin, etc.

I would not make the decision to live here again.

2116 lives up to its name of 'Wharton Dorm.' It's fun. However, the management knows that well and maximizes on spiking up the rent. Recently, they started charging for printing.

The property is well kept and sanitary. The management is responsive and competent. The maintenance is timely and exhaustive. The views from either side of the building are beautiful. However, the amenities are almost unusable given the global pandemic and property restrictions as a result. Completely understandable, but you may find that rent above $2000 is not worthwhile if amenities are a significant concern for you.
