Tons of medical/grad students, makes for a nice community. Excellent building and amenities, daily shuttle to University City especially useful. Management usually responsive, though repairs to a unit can take some time. Very safe, amazing location. Somewhat pricey for Philadelphia.

As a Penn Law student, I love living at 2400 Chestnut because of the strategic location and short commute to campus. I can get to/from class in 15 minutes walking and they also provide a shuttle bus in the morning. The apartment is spacious and recently renovated, and the management was been very responsive to any maintenance request/issue I've had. The gym, study rooms, and package room are also great amenities. I feel very safe here because we have a doorman at the front desk 24/7 and need to scan in to access the elevators.

One minor downside is that there is no in-unit laundry. Each floor has a laundry room with two washers/driers. On occasion, one of the three elevators will be down for maintenance, so it can take a bit longer to get up/down.

Highly Recommend

Excellent location, friendly management, clean apartments, gym onsite. Main downside is communal washer/dryers on each floor rather than in-unit

The positives of this apartment are the beautiful apartment, spaciousness, VERY responsive management, great gym, security, friendly staff, and ideal location from the hospital and Center City. The shuttle to the hospital is also amazing, we get to HUP/CHOP in 5 min flat. There's no in-unit washer dryer, but it has been nice to have them on each floor for free. The two downsides I've experienced are maintenance issues and temperature control issues. They don't have central AC and I've had some challenges achieving the ideal temp in the bedroom. One of the three elevators has also been out for a prolonged period, and that has led to long elevator wait times and crowding. I've recently also started noticing that my hot water runs out for longer showers to wash my hair, and a dryer that refuses to dry my clothes.

great management

I am overall very pleased with my experience at 2400 Chestnut. It is in an excellent location, just 15-20 min walk to HUP and 30-40 min walk to Presby/VA depending on your walking speed. There is also a free shuttle service to University City in the mornings. It is a 5-10 min walk to Trader Joe's and Giant for groceries, and a 5 minute walk from Rittenhouse square. The building is located along the Schuylkill river trail which is great for walking/running/relaxing. Building/package security is great. There is a free gym with 24/7 access. There is also a parking garage so you have a place to park your car (however, a car is not necessary when living here and I do not have one). The monthly rent is more expensive than other apartments that my co-interns live in, however the location and amenities have made it worth it to me. One downside is lack of in-unit washer/dryer, but there are free washer/dryers on every floor and I have always found one available to use.

The apartment is amazing. It is in the best location- close enough to campus (about 15 minutes walking) but far enough that you have some distance. It is also in Center City where you have access to great shops and restaurants. It is also a few minutes away from 30th station and bus stops and transit stations.

Management in the building is fantastic, and if there are ever any maintenance problems, they are resolved immediately.

The only cons are it can be a noisy area because we are by the train tracks (especially at night with the freight trains- but if you close your windows all the way it is usually fine). There are problems with the elevators at times, and you cannot take long showers as the hot water will run out.

The views from the building are amazing. Also there is a lounge, gym, and secure package room for mail. The coincerege are all amazing and also make us feel safe.

Great location in between campus and rittenhouse.

Location and views make this extremely ideal, free printing is essential for law students. Also appreciate spaciousness of apartments and lots of other grad students in the building.

Value of amenities relative to price is lacking slightly, however the free shuttle to campus and walking proximity makes the cost worth it. Management also runs this place well.
