Great location and lots of space. Friendly doorman and good bang for your buck considering that the space is nice, the location is ideal and the staff is friendly. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent value and location.

I have a Jr. 1BR on the 28th floor. I have a gorgeous view of south Philly. The room is quiet, cable/internet is subsidized, the building company responds to requests quickly, and the doorman/package room attendant is a huge plus. There are tons of places to eat within a 5 minutes work. I strongly recommend.

My apartment experience has been mixed. Although I have lots of natural light, a balcony, and great views, I do pay more than most for a studio and there has been a ton of HVAC work going on in my apartment, which has been a huge inconvenience in terms of about 10% of my apartment being unusable, noise, and no heat during very cold weather. Circuits trip semi-frequently and the fire alarms in the building go off way too often.

However, I do love the building staff and the location is great.

Great location, great doormen! Roof should be opened all year!

Great size for a studio at approximately 600 sq.ft.. Building has individually owned condominium units so look around at a few - condition/features can vary widely, and so can prices. Building is great - amazing location - you can walk out on to Rittenhouse Square. There is a 7/11 basically in the building. Maintenance is top notch. They have an online portal for submitting work orders, and usually my requests are attended to the same day. There is a rooftop swimming pool and a gym in the basement, both well kept and nice to have. Laundry room in the basement with direct elevator access. Only thing I wish they had was a common group study room or something like that for team meetings etc - that would have been very helpful.

The Dorchester is an outstanding building. Located directly on Rittenhouse Square, the building features friendly doormen who we have come to know well. It also has a rooftop pool in the warm months and a gym in the basement for all your basic workout needs. On the older side (built in the 60s), but very well maintained. Only downside of the building is that it is pet free so anyone wanting to bring or buy a pet while at school will need to look elsewhere. That said, no dogs or cats running around if you are allergic. I would suggest looking for an owner renting directly through craigslist before going to a broker, we found a better deal that way and have a very responsive landlord.

Excellent building. Great location.

I like the location of this building, near the square and not too far from school or campus. I really like having a doorman. In regards to the apartments, their quality varies because each is privately owned. My landlord has been responsive and we haven't much trouble getting her help.

Some annoying little rules and minor maintenance issues (which were dealt with promptly), but overall a great building and great location
