One of the best in the area

I have enjoyed living at The Sterling. I love how spacious the apartments are. I also find that management is very responsive to requests. I find it quiet overall but can sometimes hear through the walls/ceiling. The rooftop area is one of the largest in the area but the limitations on guests can be inconvenient.

Overall experience

Great maintenance, always respond quickly to requests. Great apartment for Penn dental students in their 3rd and 4th year as a lot of other students live in the building.
Property includes a rooftop pool and gym. Great locations walking distance to rittenhouse square.

Older building with new finishes

While the finishes may be pretty, the bones of the building are very dated. For example, each unit has a washer/dryer as well as a garbage disposal however the pipes were not designed to carry this volume and often back up and flood apartments. There have been issues with roaches and fruit flies. Also, there is only ever heat OR air conditioning available, never both.

Great Amenities

I love the amenities at the sterling. It is a fully managed apartment that takes away the hassle of having to worry about some mundane maintenance and service issues that you will have to worry about if you lived in a house or brownstone. The Sterling has a large Gym that's free to use (when there is no covid) and their rooftop is deluxe. You will also get the most value for your buck in terms of square footage. No other apartment beats it within the Rittenhouse Square area

Fantastic value, slightly further than ideal

Pros: The apartment is modern and spacious - big living room, large closets, open floor plan, modern appliances. The building has great amenities - rooftop grills and pool, gym, business center (conference rooms and printing), and attached restaurants and convenience store. There are plenty of other students living in the building, so there's a good community here. Finally, the price is the best of any building I've seen - easily the best value around Rittenhouse.

Cons: A little further from campus/other students' apartments (typically South and West) than other buildings, heating/cooling from one unit/room leads to different temperature zones around the apartment, and it can be a little noisy in the mornings with trash pickup/street cleaning (only matters if you're a very light sleeper).

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.
Reviewed by CHOP Pediatric Resident living at 2100 Parkway
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.
Reviewed by Penn Resident living at 1919 Market
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.
