Many of my clients looking for a pied-à-terre condo, starter home or retirement retreat have found some gems at attractive price points. Rittenhouse Square living can be affordable! I’ve picked a few examples to show you. Some are move-in ready, others are waiting for your creativity.
10 Rittenhouse Luxury Living
While all the doormen on Rittenhouse are wonderful, there’s something special about how you’re greeted when you enter 10 Rittenhouse. Every time I go there, I feel like royalty! A luxury development, with amazing amenities. Studio listing, Unit 607, was recently reduced to $327,500.
Parc Rittenhouse
With one of Philly’s top restaurants literally at your door, how can you not love coming home? The Parc has one of my favorite common areas with an open rooftop deck and swimming pool.

The Dorchester on Rittenhouse Square
My clients either love The Dorchester or hate it! Located right on the Square you can’t get a better location. It was built in the 80’s and has design elements reflecting the era. No pets are allowed here, not even service animals.
But it does offer many options for gracious Rittenhouse Square cosmopolitan living! On-site parking, gym and rooftop pool add to its charm.
Some great options in the $300K range include my favorite – Unit 507, a charming 1 bedroom with outdoor deck originally listed at $310K, now offered for $295,000:
Other options at The Dorchester in the $300K range:
The Savoy – 1810 Rittenhouse Square
Also located directly across from Rittenhouse Square park, The Savoy has a distinctive style with large columns and open lobby overlooking the park. Built in 1952, the architecture reflects the “mod” styles that were cutting edge at the time. Gracious living is yours with a large roof deck available from the 21st floor and an on-site gym. Cats are allowed, but not dogs.
There are a mix of offerings, from luxury extensive condos overlooking the Square to some great 1 and 2 bedroom values in the $300K price range. Top picks are:
- Unit 509 – 2 bd / 1 ba recently reduced to $299K; two small bedrooms, galley kitchen
- Unit 2109 – 1 bd / 1 ba on the top floor with sunlight drenching both the living room and bedroom – $290K
