Very happy with my decision. Location is about as central as it gets. Units are big, not the most updated but nice enough. Lobby and building look good. Amenities decent, gym's serviceable and rooftop pool is great when it's nice out. Good value, much cheaper than Icon or 2116 Chestnut (but more outdated too).

Wanamaker has a great location and the building is fairly nice. That being said, the building policies are extremely annoying, ranging from strict move-in policies (you can only move in at certain times, you have to pay to move in) to not being allowed to have decoration on your door to having to use the building's specified cable plan. For the amount you have to pay to live in the Wanamaker, a lot of these rules are simply ludicrous.
Additionally, the walls are quite thin here. If you want to be social and host a lot, think twice before living here. You will get a lot of noise complaints.

I really like the layout of the studios here. And the location is ideal just on the west side of Rittenhouse (cuts down the walk to campus). Allan Domb is not that fun to work with. They only accept physical checks, no electronic payments.

Building management has been great except for the two weeks when I moved in and there was headache-inducing drilling on the garage. Shook the whole building, and the management never seemed to know when it was going to happen. That stopped though.

Great value, wonderful doormen, can get packages easily, aways feel safe. Tons of room and best location by far

Really no complaints about the Wanamaker. Fantastic location vis-a-vis Rittenhouse (a block away) and school (a 15 minute walk or 5 minute bus ride -- bus stop is right in front of building). Decent gym in the building on the top floor with nice view. Friendly doormen. Allan Domb not great to work with during the negotiation process, but typically very quick to respond to maintenance issues. Only negative: the building is not dog-friendly.

The Wanamaker is an unbeatable location for Wharton students. It is close to where everyone hangs out while still being walkable to school in 30 minutes.

The Wanamaker is a great place to live, with perfect location that's close enough to Wharton to walk and close to anyone living near Rittenhouse Square. Management and doormen are all very nice. The 700 sq ft, 1-br layout also makes a lot of sense and definitely feels large enough for a couple. Highly recommend!

I have had a great experience in the Wanamaker, although some of that may be able to be attributed to the fact that I am renting directly from the owner.

As always when looking at a condo building, keep in mind that units are kept up differently and they are nowhere near all alike. Also remember that you should be paying less for a unit on a lower floor than one on a higher floor. I live on a lower floor in a unit that is semi-updated and I think my monthly rent is more on par with similar units on higher floors of the building.

This is a doorman building. Every time you come and go you will need to say hi to two doormen. There are about 6 doormen who rotate. If you don't want to have to say hi to people every time you come home and find that too awkward to bear, consider not living in a doorman building. For me the trade off was just barely worth it, only because of the convenience (receiving packages, not needing to worry about safety) so that I can focus on school.

The location is really perfect- near Rittenhouse Square but away from the busier blocks that border the park, and a 20-25 min walk to Huntsman.

You will see Wharton students all the time in this building.

Great location. I love many of the doorman and have had a wonderful experience. The apartment could use to be updated a bit but otherwise it has been perfect. My one complaint is that we are not allowed to sublet over the summer.
