1500 Locust is an award winning building that is also a great community, and it is just steps from the famous Rittenhouse Square. Considered part of this famous area, the building is one of the contemporary high rises so easily noticed near the park. As new as it is, it is undergoing major renovations, and that means it is likely to be an even better Rittenhouse Square rental than before, and it has always been a good one.
Unique High Rise Community
This building follows some of the same concepts as large buildings in New York City and Chicago have employed. The idea is to create a great living environment and to give residents the option of having a social life within the building with other residents. These new additions are destined to make 1500 Locust one of the premier party buildings in Rittenhouse Square rentals.
The developer has done extensive construction and renovation to provide a roof top swimming pool, which is enclosed so it’s great even on snowy nights. Hit the sundeck during warmer weather, and it is all on the 45th floor. Beyond the enormous fitness center, the gym is complete with classes and even dance workouts. There are recreation rooms with full sized pool tables, and a special residents’ only club on the 45th floor. That one is a huge bonus for those who work at home, and want to get out of their apartment and work online. There’s free wireless internet and plenty of room to spread out and work.
The Price Of Community Living
1500 Locust is in the medium to high range for Rittenhouse Square apartments. Expect studios to start out at $1300 and go up to almost $4000 for large two bedroom models. Of course, they all come equipped to the max, which helps. They all have washer/dryers, some have private balconies, the kitchens are new and very modern with granite counters and stainless steel appliances. Baths and kitchens have venting systems, and they come with some window treatments.
The building has added energy saving features, and its A/C has individual controlling abilities too. That can count for a lot! There is a parking garage, which costs extra, but if you are determined to own a car, this can also be a major plus when searching for a new place.
1500 Locust is likely to be the type of building that once you move into, you’ll stay. The location is so fantastic – just steps from the Theatre District, amazing retail shops and public transportation – that you won’t want to leave. And, if living in a high rise that also offers the feeling of a real community, you’ll make some lasting friends there too. This Rittenhouse Square rental building is managed by one of the city’s best property management groups, who always maintains high standards.
