The Chestnut

Really enjoyed living at the chestnut. The amenities are amazing and it’s such a close walk to Wharton. It’s pricier than other options nearby, but in my opinion, it’s worth it. The rooms are well laid out and all of the kitchens are modern. You get a lot of light at all times of the year through the floor-to-ceiling windows. I never had to worry about anything breaking in my apartment since it’s a newer building. It’s pretty quiet and safe, and I never lose packages living here.

The concierge is really nice but the management company is unnecessarily difficult. They take long to respond to lease inquiries and don’t really care about making the experience easy for you. They are strict about move-in (reserving the freight elevator for only one hour, which can be challenging when you’re getting furniture delivered by a third party) and don’t allow deliveries to your door, which can be inconvenient. The trash chute is also frequently backed up on the weekends (but that’s less of a problem the higher up your floor is).

Great apartment

Expensive, but safe and a nice building

Beautiful building, convenient location

new building, but rent is high and management team is always slow on their response

Great location

The location is unbeatable. It is a beautiful building. Very safe. Great amenities for roof top grilling, doing homework outside, or swimming in rooftop pool. There is a top floor Sky Lounge for working inside--gorgeous. There is also a fourth floor working space.

The Chestnut has really beautiful, spacious, brand new apartments, with a pool, clubhouse, gym, and common spaces. Management is extremely responsive and the staff is very friendly. I have had no issues with the property. One thing to note is that pretty much only students live here.

Great for dog owners

Overall, it has been a great experience here at "The Chestnut." This is a new building a few blocks away from the law school.
