Great location!

I've thoroughly enjoyed living here - the management team is very accommodating and the building is very nice. Laundry and trash on each floor, doorman for packages/ food deliveries, friendly staff, reasonable rent relative to other Wharton buildings

Everything from meeting with the property manager to signing the lease to moving in was easy. Any time I have had an issue, it's been fixed within a day. Apartment is on the pricey side, but when I signed the lease they gave me 2 months free on a 12 month lease which makes the average rent over 1 year of 1,700 with utilities included. Gym in the basement is functional but not amazing, but there is an office that has free printing (which is amazing)

The building is located right on Rittenhouse Square's park and my apt has a view of the park, which is exactly what I wanted. The building is very secure and the staff is responsive. The gym in the basement is nothing special, but as an ex-athlete it's been enough for me and is never crowded. If you want a building full of MBA students, this is not the place for you.

Great place, very convenient. A bit underrated from a Wharton perspective. The property is right on the Square and the units are renovated. Utilities are also included which is a nice win. The building is on the quieter end, which I definitely prefer.

As a medical student with a very busy schedule, I was looking for an apartment building with amenities that would make the tasks of everyday living extremely easy. The convenience of the modernized kitchen, in-unit washer/dryer, and basement gym are, in my opinion, definitely worth the price that you pay for them. In addition, the building is a block from the bus stop with routes to Penn's campus and Trader Joe's (which I used as my primary grocery store) is a 10 minute walk away. If you are the type of person who loves having numerous trendy coffee shops, top Philly restaurants, and popular clothing brands just blocks away, then this location can't be beat. The biggest downside of this property is its management. Throughout this past year the building has been struggling with elevator function, and it took several months before management stepped in to finally notify residents what was going on. Further there are numerous smokers in the building whose habits leave certain units and stairways extremely smoky and unpleasant. This issue has also been dealt with very poorly by management. The main leasing agent is horrible at phone and email communication. Despite this, the door men/women and maintenance staff have been friendly and wonderful to work with.

222 is one of the nicest buildings on the square. Built by the same architect as the Museum of Art. The amenities are on point: great gym, meeting room (free printers and coffee!), nice doorman, pet-friendly environment. Units have huge closets, all-equipped kitchen including a washer-dryer, and rent includes utility bills.
Another cool feature is that you can do a 6-month rental then a month-to-month deal if desired. The building manager is really helpful and they have a couple maintenance guy on duty that will fix anything in your unit on short notice.
However, the management company (based in NYC) does not seem to care a lot about this building. The elevators seem to break down a lot and although they say they will renovate these, it will take several months before all 4 elevators work again. Meanwhile, at most 2 elevators work at the same time, you have to call the doorman to be picked up on your floor, and sometimes no elevator works at all! They gave a big rent discount when this happened (and maybe you can get better rent terms now), so I was still happy with the experience, as the elevator situation is not a huge issue for me...
All in all, I would recommend this building (and I have seen a few in the city), especially for people who enjoy the proximity of the parc and the safety of an apartment building.

Because I knew that I definitely wanted to live in the Rittenhouse Square area, I spent a lot of time researching and viewing options. 222 Rittenhouse is a great fit for me because I wanted the safety element and amenities that come along with an apartment complex. The concierge staff is always so friendly and really helpful about accepting packages when I am gone during the day. The maintenance staff always responds to any requests I make in a very timely fashion. Though my studio square footage is small it has a full kitchen, bath, washer/dryer. The building itself has a conference room great for studying, rentable extra storage space, and a small gym in the basement with all the equipment I need for daily workouts. Though I definitely pay the price for my view of Rittenhouse Square, the neighborhood is incredible, and the apartment works perfectly for my needs!

I have been extremely happy at 222 Rittenhouse. Location cannot be beat and building is very safe. Apartment itself is beautiful and I rarely have maintenance issues. If I do, the building is quick to respond. Highly recommend.

The building has beautiful architecture and great amenities. In unit washer/drier, dishwasher, ability to switch between heat and ac at any time (which is not always available in older buildings with old central air systems), small gym in basement, and the free printing in the conference room is very useful. The location is excellent, on Rittenhouse Park and only a 20 minute walk to the law school with plenty of other options for transportation. Management and staff are friendly and professional. My only qualm is that the price is high and there are a lot of great apartments in brownstones that are cheaper with similar amenities. Those, however, won't have a doorman like this building which adds tremendously to the sense of security. Overall great.
