The savoy is one of the apartment buildings surrounding rittenhouse square. I've seen other buildings and I think the savoy would qualify as probably the least "fancy" and least uptight out of all the buildings. There are many elderly people in the building but also plenty of young professionals (almost all Wharton/Penn Law/Med students in addition to many attendings from HUP and CHOP). The price is variable as all the apartments are privately owned so you rent directly from the owner but they seem to be slightly less expensive than some of the other buildings (Parc, for example). The front desk is great and very responsive. Maintenance is usually pretty quick with a 1-2 day turn around for non-urgent items. My biggest complaint is that the heat/ac is centrally controlled......so there is a time during the Fall and the Spring where it is unseasonably hot outside but the heat is on. I've had to buy multiple fans to cool off enough to simply sit in my apartment. On the other hand, people that live on the side of the building not facing the sun complain that it is too cold. Its an ongoing battle but overall, its not that big of a deal. I'll probably end up staying in this building even after i graduate because I'm too lazy to move and the location is excellent.

Great experience overall. Great location (right on Rittenhouse Square). Smaller unit, but clean and no plumbing or bug issues. Decent building upkeep and responsive building maintenance. I lease directly from my landlord, so your experience may depend on your landlord. Helpful front desk with package holding.

Living near the park is nice but overrated. The building is antiquated and many units are not renovated. I would consider searching for newly renovated brown stones nearby that have greater value.

The Savoy is a condo building, so there are a lot of residents that own their units. Generally an older clientele, with a few students and young people. The management is good on maintenance requests, but can be really incompetent at times. The building has a front doorman, gym (which costs money), and laundry facilities. I've been here for my whole time in Philadelphia and have been very happy overall.

My main complaints are that the elevators are constantly breaking down and only a couple of the five or six doormen are at all friendly. My landlord has been nice, and repair requests have been answered quickly. I would live here again.

Excellent building on Rittenhouse Square. Many units are park-facing with spectacular views. Friendly doormen and neighbors. Few students. Building has roof deck, gym, laundry. Slightly more expensive than other alternatives, but worth the extra money.

Only annoying thing is that the gym is not included in the rent.

No building amenities but great location. Older building on Rittenhouse Sq so on the cheaper more affordable side.

Great Building. Friendly doormen. Very central location on park.

Great location, limited Wharton students, and the average age of residents is 60+
