Better location than most wharton buildings (20th and walnut). Apartments are old and charming. Building functions well. Building is a bit older, but everything works well.

Although the building is older and lacks some of the amenities of luxury buildings, I have had a great experience at the Chatham. The apartment is large, with lots of light, hardwood floors and a responsive super. I highly recommend it.

The building itself is a bit old and the management is not the fastest at responding to issues. However, it is an amazing value for money -- very spacious, great light, perfect location, hardwood floors, 24-hour doormen (though they tend to doze a bit late at night...). I love coming home to a beautiful space with tons of natural light and a view of Rittenhouse Square. I looked at apartments all over the city and it was the cheapest that met all my requirements (location, lighting, safety, space). It's just a few steps to the bus stop, good restaurants, a cafe with free wifi, bars (including Irish Pub, where people gather often), etc. Other tenants are friendly though it's not very social because there are no common areas to hang outstudy.

Amazing location with a 30 minute walk to campus and less than <10 mins walk to all the happenings at Wharton. The building itself is old, which is very apparent in the bathrooms and kitchens. This is very much a value play as the rent is cheap for the area and also includes utilities. If you are looking for something very comfortable, you will do better elsewhere (but also pay higher).

My building is in a great location in Center City in the Rittenhouse Square area. It is a great deal, and the management is responsive. There is a doorman, and I always feel safe here.

Excellent staff, very safe building in a great location. Good value for money. Units close to ground level or facing Walnut St. can be noisy.

The price is several hundred dollars cheaper than any of the other apartments in the same location. Although the building is old, maintenance is reliable and things get fixed within a couple of days. I love the building's architecture, and as some others have said, it has a unique charm/character. My unit has tons of light (love the windows), and the hardwood floors are way better than the cheap carpet you find in most buildings. The only thing is the building does get quite cold in the winter -- can easily be solved with a space heater or a sweater! All in all, a great value.

The Chatham is by far the best deal around. I have a huge 1-bedroom apartment with all utilities included for the price of a small studio in other doorman-buildings. The only downside is that the building is old, which is a turn-off for some people, but since I love the charm it was a selling point for me. There is no gym in the building, but otherwise it has everything I want, and a good Wharton contingency as well.

The rent is very reasonable and utilities are included. While its certainly not as luxurious as some of the Rittenhouse Square apartments, it's clean, spacious, and has its own charm.
