I absolutely love living here! I have a 22-month lease and I'm very happy about it. The perks:
1) The staff is incredibly nice and thoughtful--Dee and Brandon are the best! 2) The management company truly tries to build the community in the building--from hosting happy hours in the front lounge to offering "Thanksgiving breakfast" that you can pick up on the go to hosting a Halloween Pet trick-or-treating-type mixer for tenants and their dogs. 3) The facilities are great--the gym, the yoga studio, the lounge, the roof, free printing, etc. 4) I love having utilities included. I only pay for internet and you get the choice between Verizon and Comcast unlike other buildings. 5) I don't own a pet, but if you do it's only a 1-time $500 fee as opposed to a one-time fee + a monthly fee of usually ~$50. 6) There are plenty of 1Y and 2Y Wharton students living in the building so lots of people to uber with in the mornings usually. 7) Management is super responsive when it comes to building requests--I had to have my sink fixed and they came within a few hours.

My only "complaints" are that 1) I live on the south side of the building on a relatively low floor so it is loud because you can hear the trash trucks in the morning and there's not a lot of natural sunlight through my window, 2) I live near the elevator and I can hear it through my apartment walls, 3) for a while, my apartment had a musty smell which took probably like 3 weeks for it to go away but it at least went away, 4) kitchen storage space in my studio is limited. I had to get an extra drawer thing to hold things like utensils and pots and pans, etc. 5) I don't love that the bathroom light also turns on the vent, which is kind of loud. There's only one switch.

The facilities and infrastructure are the best you can imagine. The lounge and the gym were impeccable. The reception staff however, can be rude and impatient at times. They were always quick to resolve issues in the unit (like plumbing etc)

Overall my apartment is great. Some of the staff in the building are rude. I face Chancellor Street and have to hear the garbage trucks every morning at 7am which is very annoying. Also lots of construction and drilling very early in the morning. Otherwise I have been happy with my specific apartment unit.

I love the location. The 2nd floor lounge and gym are awesome. The apartment itself is very basic and small but it fits my needs and the price is right. The biggest issue is the noise. I live on the 5th floor overlooking the chancellor st allyway and every morning at 7am (including weekends) the garbage trucks come and there’s constant banging for 30 mins at least, there is no way to sleep through it, no matter how much white noise/ear plugs. Sometimes there’s deliveries at 4am that wake me up too.

The Claridge is well located, right on Rittenhouse Square. It's close to a lot of great bars, restaurants and shopping. The front desk / reception staff and maintenance staff are responsive and friendly. The unrenovated apartments are a bit old, but the size makes up for that. We have about ~1000 square feet for two people.

The gym and lounge are new and spacious. Great place for meetings. The only issue is the noise. Every morning at 7 am (except for Sundays) there are a few garbage trucks and food delivery trucks that are incredibly noisy for ~30 mins. It can be heard on all floors if you have an apartment facing the alleyway.

Have had good experience with property management, and very nice gym/ lounge facilities. My only complaint is that the walls are relatively thin, and many of my neighbors have dogs that do not stop barking!
My studio has a LOT of closet space (3, including a large walk-in).

Amenities are good gym and common space, but apartments that aren’t renovated are poorly designed and have very bad appliances.

Very social, friendly building. Maintenance is great and very quick to fix anything that breaks in the apartment. Great very new common space / gym / lobby. Hallways could use updating.

Love it here - staff is very friendly and responsive. Great value for location! Super pet friendly

I am very satisfied with my choice. Great location and very spacious unit There are two types of studios, I chose the bigger one. Little bit more expensive, but definitely worth the extra charge.
