This apartment building is fabulous! Great location, about 25 minute walk from CHOP and a 10 minute bus ride (with a bus stop right outside the building). There are two staff members at the front desk at all times and everyone is very friendly. The amenities include a large gym, and indoor pool, and large common area that can be rented for gatherings. There is a parking garage attached to the building. In unit washer dryer. Pet friendly! Many residents and other healthcare professionals live here as well.

Full service, parking, easy access to public transport, walkable.

There’s only a handful of Wharton students in the Murano but it’s the best bang for your buck if you’re looking for a doorman, luxury building. I’m paying about what I would for a 400 square foot studio at 1919, but I have double the space and a 1 bedroom.

You can also rent out your parking space to recoup some of the rent. The going rate is about $375 per month.

The doormen know every single person who lives in the building and really do a great job of protecting the residents.

Great building but not all landlords want to rent to students

The Murano is a great place to have a spacious condo with panoramic views of the city (depending on the condo location within the building). You should not expect to have more than a handful of your classmates in the building. However, the location on Market St is central to other popular Wharton buildings such as 1919 Market, 2040 Market, and 2116 Chestnut. The fire department is right under the building which gets pretty noisy at times but not a deal breaker considering the other tradeoffs.

Modern, luxury apartment tower in a central location. Seconds away from Trader Joe's and trolley line to campus, and only minutes away from Rittenhouse Square Park and 30th Street Station.

The Murano is an outstanding place to live. It's a condo building so there aren't a ton of units for rent, but I got pretty lucky to find a good option with the right move-in date. It's on the higher end of options near Rittenhouse, but it is similarly priced to 2116 Chestnut and 1919 Market, but it's superior in my opinion. Nicer finishings, higher end building amenities, and right above Trader Joes.

Great building with very nice and helpful management. All the apartments seem to have wonderful views. It's right next to Trader Joe's and very close walking distance to bars and restaurants. Easy to get to any of the hospitals. I work at Cooper and its a 15 minute drive in the morning a little longer in the evening.

Enjoy high rise living, good facilities, plenty of sunlight, good views, swimming pool which is indoor, easy access to city, good grocery options around, amazing access to university city, would love to buy my own.

Love my apartment. Living slightly north of Rittenhouse and close to the river is great. Most nights the class ends up going to bars/restaurants nearer to my house than to south street. Its a quick 10 to 15 minute walk down to south street and grad hospital on nights when social events are taking place down there. I walk to school each day (takes ~25 minutes) and live 1/2 a block from the Trolley and an Indiego bike ride. 2 blocks from the 42 bus route to school and 4 blocks from 30th street station/the LUCY buses.
