Once you put pressure on management, you can get your way. Otherwise the building is particularly old, with very poor appliances and not the friendliest of staff. Hence, the experience/price ratio is quite low.

The apartments are very spacious and the building has great facilities like a nice rooftop gym, indoor pool and lounge area. The building maintenance is very responsive - take care of every matter usually within 24-48 hours (including changing appliances like a washing machine or dish washer). For Wharton students, it's an extra couple of blocks walk but totally worth it if you want to live alone at a reasonable price.

Very spacious apartment with tons of storage space and large balcony. Nice amenities including rooftop gym, pool, and outdoor space. Fairly strict with pets and slow elevators.

Every time I need something the management fixes it promptly. There is a pool/hot tub and gym in the building, as well as movie room and conference area. As a student I use the conference area that also has wifi. There is also a printer and copy machine in the office area.

1500 Locust is an awesome place to live! My bathroom and kitchen are in great shape, plus the amenities are awesome. There are a TON of people there, though, so sometimes the elevators take a while and the traffic at the front door is sometimes overwhelming. That said, the location is incredibly convenient for getting around the city, for proximity to good bars, and for learning the lay of the land if you're new to town. I highly recommend 1500 Locust!

The enclosed rooftop pool was a selling point for me. Allows me to swim laps year round. The rooftoo sundeck is great when the weather is good. I definitely take advantage of the electric grills on the roofdeck too. The gym is small for someone who used to live at the gym in their free time but has enough equipment and machines to get creative to do everything but powerlifting. I dont think I ever really used the theater roombut there is a library where I spent a lot of time studying for my boards that has a great view. I think the amenities are worth the price of the apartments which are otherwise a bit smaller than you can get for the money elsewhere. Right across the street from the patco which was realiable even in the worst winter weather for commuting too (about 12 minutes to the broadway stop at cooper then a 2 block walk from there)

Great building and location. Concierge is very nice. feel very safe. packages delivered safely every day. can even sign up for local dry cleaners and drop off laundry at front desk and have it delivered right to the front desk. There is a rooftop gym, study area, indoor pool and amazing sundeck with cabanas and grills. Also a home theatre on the rooftop floor that you can rent out. Maintenance staff are quick to respond to any issues in the apartment. It is very pricey but great location, lots of ammenities, feel safe. Patco is right below the building. Downside: no dogs allowed (unless its a service dog) :(. allowed to have cats.

You can't beat this Rittenhouse location, but you are paying for it! Parking isn't included but amenities are. The units are nice and newly remodeled with lots of storage, and the staff is pretty chill. Not too many rules, but the place is well kept. Gym, indoor pool, and rooftop are barely used so you can enjoy the luxury without feeling crowded. The primary downside is the elevators. They go down all the time and you waste a lot of time waiting for them. The fire alarm also goes off more than seems reasonable.

1500 Locust Apartments is in a great location, right near tons of restuarants, bars, shops, and all public transit (train, subway, buses). I feel safe and love that my packages can be delivered. The amenities are top notch except when the grills stopped working in the middle of the summer. The staff are all very nice and the maintenance staff is very quick to turn around a request. No bugs or mice, central AC, parking at an extra cost.

Good amenities and great service. Also, the location is very conveneient, especially with a roof deck and roof pool and gym and common space -love it! Did I also happen to mention the proximity to all of the great amenities, parks, restaurants, clubs, bars, cafes, coffee shops, amenities, pools, gyms, office buildings, cities, stationes, new jersey, and all? It can't be beat.
