Good location and spacious but with many management issues + incessant alarm

Great location and spacious apartments but management issues makes this less than a "luxe" building (as suggested by price point). Also building is notorious for building-wide alarms several times a month at random hours, especially in the middle of the night. Based on the number of alarms alone, I wouldn't recommend this building. The incessant mid-night alarms really ruin this building.

Pricey but spacious with great transit options

I've had a very good experience at the Sterling. I'd hoped in University City in order to be close to class and clinicals, but it was way too expensive and I'm actually much happier living downtown in Center City. As a student, my favorite thing about the apartment is the proximity to transit--the apartment location is very central, so there are trolley, train, and bus lines that connect directly to campus and the hospitals. The trolley runs ever 3-4 minutes, so I never have to worry about missing a bus. The apartments themselves are updated with huge closets and massive windows. It's a concrete build so there's very little sound transmission between apartments which is great for night shifters. There is a beautiful pool on the rooftop deck as well as a study lounge (although it gets a bit crowded during the semester). For being right in the middle of downtown, the neighborhood feels relatively safe, and there is security at the door. I was very stressed about finding housing, and I've been quite happy with the apartment.

Don’t get a lower floor

I had a number of pest issues and pest control couldn’t fix it. Homeless men also came to my floor and security couldn’t do much other than to wait for police to come.

Sterling

Well priced for living with roommates. Seems overpriced if you live here alone. Fire alarm issues were prevalent at the beginning of the year but seem to be under control now. We have a great rooftop + pool.

Good amenities with square footage higher than that of similar properties. Rent is up by ~20% year-on-year though.

Reviewed by Temple Law Student living at The Lofts at Logan View
Loved the neighborhood. Paying for monthly parking in a nearby garage was not outrageously expensive, was close to center city for fun and errand-running, Target and Whole Foods nearby made for easy groceries when I didn’t want to leave the city. Sabrina’s Cafe is nearby, which is super delicious. BSL was about an 8 minute walk to either Spring Garden or Race-Vine, depending on if I was going north or south. Great area for walking around and getting out of your apartment.
Reviewed by Temple Law Student living at 2121 Market Street
The apartment is technically between Logan Square and Rittenhouse Square. We live right above Trader Joe's, which makes grocery shopping a breeze. We spend a lot of time walking around Rittenhouse Square and Rittenhouse neighborhood to pick up groceries, drink coffee, and generally hang out with each other and friends. The river walk is a short walk away, and the Museum District is within walking distance. Back when I was going to school regularly, the Septa trolley stop is conveniently right in front of our apartment and the 30th Street Station is a 10 minute walk away. While the amenities leave some things to be desired and we pay a premium for our location, it is a great place to live especially for newcomers to Philadelphia who want to be next to all the action.

Unless you mind the noise of cars in the street below, you will not have any issues. Given that is center city there are many people experiencing homelessness so if that is a deal breaker I recommend other neighborhoods. The upside is being 5-10 minutes distance from all the fun, restaurants, activities, nightlife, etc.. that you will ever need.

Super close to Whole Foods and Trader Joes, and I love the walk along the parkway. It's close to various museums which is great! Overall the neighborhood is pretty residential, but there are coffee shops and to-go restaurants that are easy to access.

The neighborhood is a little more commercial but only a minute away from everything wonderful in rittenhouse. But it feels very safe at all times because it’s on a major street.
Reviewed by Penn Carey Law Student living at 2040 Market Apartments
It is a great location. The law school is a 15 minute walk. Most of Center City is also within a 20 minute radius. A lot of other law students live nearby.

Lots of great bars and restaurants in the area. One of the safest and nicest areas in Philly. There are generally lots of people walking around.

Close to tons of great places to eat/drink, shop, etc. Walking distance to anything in Center City/Callowhill/Art Museum areas.
