I chose 1900 Arch because it's a little cheaper than Rittenhouse Sq. apartments but not too much farther (4 blocks from Chestnut, on Arch), with more than comparable amenities (updated appliances, hardwood, lots of sunlight, gym, outdoor and rooftop spaces). It's walkable to the Trader Joe's, Fine Wine & Spirits, Old Nelson (deli and mini-grocery), and trolley stop on 19th and Market to get to Penn's campus.

Basically, it's perfect if you're living alone, but like living in 2116 with cheaper rent.

Apartment has ammenities, updated kitchen appliances, a front desk, mail pickup, and more. Apartments are spacious and have internal AC units.

Solid building. Expansive gym, decent rooftop, front desk security and 3 elevators. Apartments are good bang for your buck space wise. Could use a little love updating / cleaning / improving the units

Great location, good amenities with door man, good security, beautiful gym, access to dog walking service and free workout classes

Surface level it looks nice, but for the price they charge I feel you should get more. There's a roach problem in the building. There are a lot of pet owners, so you are greeted with the pungent smell of urine every single day. All in all, would not recommend to a friend. Plus there's a lot of construction and the nieghborhood gets deserted at night, so I feel unsafe walking my dog after dark. There are a lot of homeless people and drug addicts. When you pay for a luxury building, you usually get a safe neighborhood to go with it. Not really the case here.

Building is decent overall. Certainly has its quirks and the management company could be better. The reviews online calling this place horrible are exaggerating (and we are very particular).

Biggest issues are: some (but tolerable) noise from Comcast building construction next door, arcane process for package intake (manually tracked by security staff), and horrible lease terms.

Overall though, area is nice, apartment is larger than if you were in Rittenhouse square, but still close enough for social activities / food, appliances are new, and lots of natural sunlight.

Generally okay. A bit from Wharton bubble, but within walking distance . But noise from construction activities (Comcast building) is quite disturbing, and sunlight during winter is quite limited

Lots of sun in the living room. Very nice amenities. Amazing gym and common areas down stairs. Roof deck.

There are some great amenities but I would not call this a "luxury" building. Dog owners take their dogs right out front of the secondary entrance so there are often unwanted smells. The floors are thin so you can hear people walking around their apartment if they do not have rugs.

New building with huge windows, awesome gym, and a great location. Very happy with 1900 Arch.
