Rittenhouse (Studio, 1 bath)—Tucked away in the heart of the Center City action is this 2116 Chestnut Street spot, which offers plenty of light and in-unit laundry. It’s only 629 square feet of space, and a studio apartment, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in location and amenities. The building has a club room, media room, sundeck, hot tub, fitness center, yoga room, and more offerings.

Art Museum (1 bed, 1 bath)—Now for something completely different: This 1,000-square-foot apartment is located in an historic, 19th-century Italianate mansion that’s been repurposed as rental units.
