Rittenhouse Claridge Student Resident

Overall I've liked my experience. Maintenance is very quick to respond, the amenities are well-kept, and the units are up-to-date. Rent is lower than most of the comparable apartment buildings, though it increases quite a bit each time I renew. My only complaints are that the walls are very thin (my friends thought I had a landline when they heard the neighbor's ringing) and that sometimes I've received charges for things that never happened (such as lockouts); however, when I dispute the charges, they've always been dropped without issue.

Rittenhouse Claridge

It is a great apartment and fantastic location. It's basically as central to everything as you can get. If you don't want to live in 2116, which feels like a Wharton dorm, this is a great alternative.

All your basic needs

The best thing about the Claridge is its central location. You live right on the park in the middle of Rittenhouse Square, close to all the bars, shopping, and dining. It's a short walk to the trolley, and the bus stop is right on the corner. Some of the units aren't updated, but you can get decent value for your money, especially for living in a high-rise apartment. Unfortunately, the management company can be a pain to deal with (sometimes rude and slow to respond), so if you have any issues it might a challenge to get them fixed.

Love pretty much everything about the Claridge

My roommate and I love this building. The rent is awesome for everything we get. We have an amazing view of Rittenhouse Square, love the location, management/maintenance is responsive and nice, and the 2nd floor amenities are great. We signed a 1 year lease but are sure that we will be extending!

Overall, very satisfied

overall, great - I love the friendly building and the included utilities. However, I find that the hot water and temperature regulation is limited.

Good Location and Management Company

Great location directly on the park. The building has good amenities and the management company is very responsive. Tenants are a diverse mix of students and older professionals. The rent is pricy, but utilities are included.

Park view is the best

I have a great view facing the Rittenhouse Square. Management and the staffs are very responsible and friendly. It's an old apartment and perhaps not as fancy as some of the new high rises, but the friendly atmosphere of the building and the location is incomparable.

Walnut street is very safe - there's always people around and it's well lit. The neighborhood includes all of the fun aspects of living in Philadelphia - tons of access to food and bars, nearby grocery stores/markets, access to the parks and the Schuylkill River Trail
Reviewed by Temple Medical Student living at 1600 Walnut Street
Very close to fun restaurants/bars/shops. Close to the subway as well as the train station (suburban station).
Reviewed by Penn Law Student living at The Dorchester
Rittenhouse is the safest part of Philly. It's a very "happening" part of town—lots of restaurants and bars on every street. At the same time, it's right next to more residential neighborhoods to walk around in and explore. It's a great place to live relatively close to the law school but with a degree of separation so as not to get trapped in the law school bubble.
Reviewed by Temple Law Student living at N/A
The neighborhood is both quiet and lively. There is so much around, but I have never had an issue sleeping or studying because there is too much noise. The broad street line is a 10-15 minute walk away and we are close to shopping, food, the park, and the river trail. Has everything within a 10-15 walk.
Reviewed by Temple Medical Student living at AQ Rittenhouse
This neighborhood has everything I need within walking distance. Shops, grocery stores, parks, the subway and trolley, post office. You name it. It's very safe and extremely quiet, which helps when I'm trying to study. The Rittenhouse Square area is really the best place to live in Philly if you don't mind paying a little more.
Reviewed by Penn Carey Law Student living at 2043 Spruce Street
I love this neighborhood and knew I wanted to live here when beginning my apartment search. The park is one of my favorite places in the city, and I love being able to easily access all the restaurants and shopping nearby. It's also an easy (~20 minute) walk to Penn Law, and the walking commute has always been a nice and peaceful part of my day.

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.
Reviewed by Cooper Medical Student living at The Wellington
Love the neighborhood, Rittenhouse Square is beautiful and we are so close to the more commercial areas like Walnut Street while not being in the center of the craziness. Plus we are within walking distance of public transportation including 10 minutes from the 15/16 street PATCO station. I personally think it is one of the best areas of Philly to live in.
Reviewed by Cooper Medical Student living at 1612 Pine St
Rittenhouse Square has a park in the center surrounded by a bookstores, restaurants, and a public library. It is open to pets and often has open art / food markets on the weekends. It is close to the Broad Street Line and PATCO. There are many families who live in the area. It is affordable compared to other major cities (NYC, DC, Boston), but there are certainly more affordable areas in Philadelphia, simply without the luxury of being so close to Center City.
