Good building, great location in that it is closer to Penn than places on the other side of Rittenhouse, though it's a ~10-20 minute walk to the heart of where the action is in Center City.

Awesome apartment. Love living here. Lots of students.

2116 is amazing. Clean, friendly staff, tons of Wharton students great gym. Easy walking distance to campus and to Rittenhouse. Close to everything. Great views. Just amazing.

- Lots of Wharton students to hang out with / Uber to school with
- In the summer, there are tiny flies in the apartment all the time
- In the winter, heat makes the apt really really dry
- Business center free printing is a big plus
- Great view
- Gym is pretty good

No complaints -- this was by far the best choice for me given I have two small dogs. Love 2116 Chestnut!

The apartment are well designed, the view is great and the amenities are awesome.

The amount of other grad students in the building makes it easy to socialize.

Location is great: close to 2401, TJs and Rittenhouse.

A little pricier than average, but probably worth it!

Perfect place to live if you can afford it. 2116 Chestnut is only a couple of years old, the amenities are amazing, and the location can't be beat.

2116 Chestnut should have everything going for it. It's new, has a nice gym, and the views are spectacular (especially from the higher floors). Unfortunately, the building management is so beyond incompetent that it completely ruins the building's many perks. The elevators will be down completely at least once a week. When they're 'working', count on at least one of them being down at all times. With a building this large and full of students on relatively similar schedules, this means that the wait for the elevators can become unacceptably long.

When the elevators aren't causing problems, the fire alarms are. I lost track of the number of fire alarms that were triggered in the past year, but it was unacceptably high. Additionally, the alarms weren't able to be turned off for several hours on numerous occasions. Living on a high floor, that means that I had to choose between listening to the same recorded message and an ear piercing wail every ten seconds for >4 hours or trek down and then back up 25+ flights of stairs on a monthly (and sometimes weekly) basis. Always fun when the fire department is forced to come out, turn things off, only to have it start up again just after they've left. That happened more times than I could count. Naturally, the elevators would completely stop during fire alarms and couldn't be turned back on for hours after they had stopped. Fun times.

This building was a horrible experience. Admittedly, our view of center city was beyond spectacular, but that pro was wildly outweighed by the many cons of living in 2116 Chestnut. We were blown away by the building when we did a tour before moving to Philadelphia, but I wish we would have done more research before signing a lease. You can spend far less money and have a much better experience in nearly any other building in the area.

Don't waste your money or time, save yourself the headache, and live somewhere else. It took us a year to figure that out and hopefully we'll prevent other people from going through a similarly poor first year in Philadelphia.

Great building, friendly staff, and state-of-the-art gym that is rarely busy. Building location is ideal--near Rittenhouse Square and walking distance to University City, and one block away from Trader Joe's. Studio layout has huge kitchen and tons of storage. Love living here!

We loved this building when we first moved into it. The views of Center City are breathtaking and the units were pretty nice inside, granite counter tops, garden tubs, stainless steel appliances. They're a bit small and the rent is among the highest in the area, but we thought it was worth it for the beautiful views. The building felt very well-kept and safe. Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful, especially Erica and Sean. We were happy until management switched to Greystar. After management switched over, we had problem after problem. The elevators were constantly going down (which is a big problem if you live on a high floor), the fire alarms would go off constantly at all hours on multiple occasions, my fiance got stranded in the elevator for 2 hours because the emergency buttons inside didn't work, the hot tub wasn't working on the couple of occasions when we tried to use it, the trash chute was often broken, and the hallways were very hot because they don't turn on the AC in them. Some of these things we could have overlooked in a normal building, but not at the very high price we were paying to live there. In my opinion, the constant inconveniences far outweighed the views.
