1500 Locust reviews and highlights

- Rent is pretty expensive
- Good mix of young families, retirees, young professionals, and graduate students
- A few blocks from Rittenhouse Square
- Amazing pool, gym, and rooftop
- Office staff and maintenance people are wonderful and respond very quickly to complaints
- Only complaints are the slow elevators and the fire alarms that go off at night sometimes

Management leaves a lot to be desired
Management is not really helpful, elevators breakdown one in a while, Terrible neighbors. It is really important you check who your neighbors are, if possible have Wharton students as your neighbors since they have the same schedule.

Great Building!
The building is good. Amazing pool, gym and rooftop. Downside - expensive, waiting time for elevator.
1500 Locust Apartments are overpriced
Getting very expensive

Unresponsive management and constant problems with the elevators
I HATE the building management. Elevators are constantly broken, forcing me to walk up 21 flights of stairs. Management is totally unresponsive. Package delivery is a mess. Too expensive for service.

More Show Than Substance
The apartment is generally good, and the gym and doorman are key selling points for me. However, the management company has tactics I would refer to as "shady" (bait and switch lease tactics, maintenence never shows up if you call but does so immediately if you request via email [read "in writing"], etc). Much of the building is more show than substance, unfortunately. The price is high, but it is difficult to find a good apartment in Philadelphia for a good price that addresses these concerns.

Terrible experience
Stay away from the Studios
Great building, amazing amenities, but lots of management issues
The building is great but the management is truly terrible. It may sound like it's not a big deal, but the elevators in the building don't work roughly 20% of the time ... which is difficult when you live on the 20th floor. I've been late to class because you never know when you'll have to wait 15 minutes for an elevator, and my husband was trapped in a stalled elevator car for 5 hours. Management has yet to apologize (let alone compensate) for any of this. Otherwise, the apts, gym, and roof deck are great. I wouldn't choose to live here again, but I signed a two-year lease upon move-in and therefore am here for another year.

A wonderful building except the elevators and management situation.

Rittenhouse Square Reviews
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.
