The Wanamaker is a good deal for the cost. Make sure that you have seen the apartment as some are recently renovated and others (like) mine are fairly dated and/or the finishings are not very nice.
Also, there is no hot water on lower floors from 7am - 10am although - BE WARNED. Management is working on the issue, but it has been taking months and there is no date for a solution as of right now.

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.

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.

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.

Great apartment in a great location (walkable to campus). Apartments are good size. Access to discounted cable and wifi as building is a Comcast Community. No major issues experienced. If you are a gym buff, the gym won't work for you, but it has great treadmills and simple equipment.

The Wanamaker is by far the best location in Center City b/c it is only a 20-25 min walk to campus and only 3 min from Rittenhouse Sq. It is great to have a gym on the top floor, esp. during the winter months. Don't be allured by the pool though - you probably wont use it. Doormen and staff are very friendly. It's great to have 80-100 classmates in the building.

The one bedrooms are a little on the expensive side but the two bedrooms are a pretty good deal. They are huge 2-bed, 2-bath units. Location is great as it is closer to campus and 2401 than most buildings but still walkable to the whole social scene in Rittenhouse. Building staff does a good job as well.

The gym has a great view, and there are tons of other students in the building. Conveniently located and you get great space for the money.

The Wanamaker is a great location- close to Center City for school and close to Rittenhouse for social events in center city. The apartments themselves are a bit older, but they are very large.

Great apartment! Very convenient for Wharton students
