Unit is awesome, great style and awesome location. Older building and has some quirks, loud street noise, minor maintenance issues, and generally incompetent property management.

The apartment itself has no problem - great location, new appliances, responsive management. However, the back alley can be super noisy. There are around 15 dumpsters and the garbage trucks pick them up every other day between 7 to 8 am. Freezer trucks deliver goods to the restaurants on Walnut around once to twice a week - they often arrive at midnight and stay for an hour -- with the engine on.

Great bang for your buck

It was a solid building.

I love this apartment and building! It's a little off the beaten path for most MBAs being a couple blocks away from the park, but it's an extremely convenient location to take the bus or the subway at 15/Market. The finishes in the apartment are beautiful - exposed brick walls, hardwood floors, washer/dryer in unit, dishwasher, new appliances, big kitchen island, great for entertaining. The building is quiet and neighbors are respectful. No pets allowed. Also, the price is a little lower than some of the other popular Wharton buildings - a 1br for sub-$2k. Highly recommend!

First, while 15th is as far east as most Wharton students will live, the additional 5-8 minutes of walking has had no impact on the ability to get to school in a timely manner or partake in social activities.

Second, Pearl Properties has been an absolute dream to have as a management company. Very responsive, very helpful, and very safety-oriented. The apartments have premium finishings and are well-cared for by Pearl. The nearby Pearl office will receive all your packages at no extra cost, so not having a doorman is not an issue.

Would choose to live here again. Would choose to live at a Pearl property again most definitely.

Conveniently located on Walnut close to restaurants, stores and transportation, including bus to campus. Units are modern and equipped with new appliances that include dishwasher and washer and dryer in the unite. Building is nice and well-maintained; no bells or whistles. Elevator but no doorman or other added amenities. Management company is responsive with any maintenance issues and friendly.. Open bars/happy hours for tenants multiple times a year!

It's a large Jr 1 BR (which means studio, with a sliding door put in to separate the bedroom from the living area. Kitchen appliances seem to be all new. Bathroom is nice. 1 br closet and 1 living area closet. Price is a little high. If I could do it again, I'd live closer to campus (or more central Rittenhouse/2401) and probably with a roommate to enjoy more social aspects of being a student. Skylight is very cold in the winter. Hard wood floors are nice. No doorman. Elevator. Above a Chipotle, and down the street from a Qdoba/Starbucks.

Good location in terms of convenience. Near to bus stops and Rittenhouse square. Management company is decent and organized but the quality of maintenance is so so in my opinion (although many other apartments could be worse). Worst thing is that it is very loud at night sometimes because of the street noises and in the morning it is very very loud from the garbage trucks (very early in the morning almost everyday).

The building is a mid-rise acros the street from Brooks Brothers and between The Gap and Chipotle. The building has exposed brick walls, (real) hardwood floors. There is an elevator and many of the apartments on the upper level have skylights. Every apartment has granite countertops, in-unit washer and dryer. My apartment also has a walk-in closet, but I am not sure if other apartments have that feature. The property manager is very responsive, as well as maintenance.
