The Good: Perfect location. Spacious apartment with hardwood floors throughout. Really good heating. Gym partnership with Weston fitness, about 3 blocks away. Friendly doormen who know your name.
The Bad: When one of the two elevators broke, it took over 2 months to fix.

Solid apartment - not deluxe but great location.

Right on the corner of S 19th and Walnut, this is the perfect location for my husband and me since we have a dog and my husband is a Wharton student. All the doormen, front desk, and maintenance workers are extremely friendly and professional. The building is smaller than others, making it easier to come and go. Our apartment has lots of windows and great lighting, I wish it was a little more updated in the appliances, the flooring, and and the bathroom. There is also no gym or garage, but there are plenty of studios and gyms close by and we tend to walk everywhere. There is a garage behind the building and others close by residents can use.
If you need storage they have areas you can rent in the basement.
Overall, we absolutely love our building!

+ LOCATION, right at the top of Rittenhouse square, super convenient and central, Walnut St. bus picks up right outside to go to campus
+ Spacious floor plans (considerable difference in living room size with other Rittenhouse Square apts)
+ Upgraded units available, with hardwood floors, in-unit W/D, granite counter tops
+ Not much building noise between units
+ Doormen super friendly
+ Great value compared to other apartments in the area
+ Great sunlight (at least on the west side of the building)
+ If you face the right way, you can see Rittenhouse square out the window

- Street noise, might be the case with other buildings in the area
- Not many (no?) amenities (personal preference)
- Older building
- Some units aren't renovated so you'll have to check with the specific unit, might not have in-unit W/D so will have to go downstairs to the basement to do laundry
- Central A/C and heating so you can't control the exact temperature (common in older buildings). That said it's winter now and we can very easily adjust our heat high enough to stay warm (70+ degrees)
- Small bathroom
- Trash chutes are small so often have to go all the way downstairs to take out trash

The Wellington has been a fantastic place to live. The building is well managed, the prices are very reasonable, and the location can't be beat (literally right next to the Square and across from La Colombe). More Wharton students should live here!

The Wellington is one of the best deals in Philadelphia. I was able to get a studio under $1350 (with utilities included) right next to the Rittenhouse Square Park. Couldn't ask for much more.

Spacious renovated units, many with in unit washer/dryer. Great door staff. No gym, study rooms, or other amenities. Very central and convenient location!!

The Wellington is an EXCELLENT apartment building. The location is prime real estate--right off of Rittenhouse Square, with friendly doormen and staff. The area is fun and bustling, and I can walk anywhere I need to go (socializing in Center City and 25 min walk to school in U City). The ONLY drawback is that it is a pricier building, but I thought it was worth it. Highly, highly recommend.

Great location, spacious units, friendly staff.

The building is very conveniently located on Walnut across from Rittenhouse square. Although the building is quite old (it's a pre-war building), all the units have been recently remodeled and have modern appliances. The building is quiet and building management is excellent. The one drawback to living in the Wellington is that there aren't many of the amenities that you'll see in other buildings surrounding the square - no gym, no business center, no common area to host parties, etc.
