Good

I mostly like living in 2400. The apartments are updated and pretty spacious. One really nice thing is that they have a shuttle that takes residents to/from University City for no extra cost. It's been great since the weather got colder.

The bathrooms are a little small. They've been renovating the hallways and older units, so sometimes that noise can be frustrating, but the complex has been giving us warning as to when that will occur and tries to restrict noisy drilling to an hour a day. I think that's expected to be done by the end of the year but I'm not sure. The location is good, as it's about equidistant from school and where many social events take place in Center City, but having the Chestnut St. bridge still closed is annoying. That would affect most apartments around this one, though. We do hear the train go by/honk often, and that sometimes wakes me up.

Overall though, a lot of Penn students live here and I think it's a solid option. It's clean, feels safer than living in a walk-up, and I haven't had any problems with management/maintenance.

Great location and nice amenities, but lots of construction

This apartment complex is in a great location (walking distance to both campus and Center City) with amazing views and pretty nice amenities such as a gym and free shuttle service to campus. For what you get, the rental price is a pretty good value. Management has also been responsive in my experience when I have questions. The biggest downside is the ongoing construction; part of it is unavoidable on management's part, as the Chestnut Street bridge is being repaired and Schuykill River flooding in September 2021 created other problems. The building only allows cats--no dogs.

Great management, lots of space, and beautiful views

I have lived in 2400 Chestnut for almost 7 years. It has a wonderful, responsive staff, beautiful views of the city from both sides of the building, and very nicely renovated apartments. The building is easily walkable to public transportation, Trader Joes, and other amenities.

Great management, quality, and location

Management is awesome. Kind and responsive. The renovated apartments have top quality finishes. Location is very nice, splits the difference between center city and university city. Rent is a little expensive, but you get what you pay for.

2400 Chestnut is an ok building

The building is conveniently located, has a shuttle to campus, and has a solid gym (most equipment, but very old). The renovated units are nice, but are expensive. However, they building was flexible on lease time (e.g., 9 months vs. 12 months) which can save money.

About Fitler Square

Situated right along the Schuylkill River, Fitler Square is a quaint neighborhood full of old-school Philadelphia charm. It's part of a larger area more commonly referred to as 'Schuylkill' that's also comprised of Devil's Pocket and Grays Ferry. Renters rave about this area for the nearby parks and...

Reviewed by Penn Perelman SOM Student living at 2423 Manning St
The location is unbeatable with close proximity to more action in Rittenhouse, the Schuylkill for running, and a short commute to school/the hospital. Trader Joe's is ~10 minute walk from my house, but there are also a few other smaller grocery stores nearby. It's a very family friendly area with folks of all different ages and tons of dogs.
Reviewed by Penn SP2 Student living at Riverwest Condominiums
Love the neighborhood! If you're interested in being close to the center of the city and being able to actively explore Philly (for a not extreme price) it was great! Also was easy to get to my school - University of Pennsylvania. 15-20 mins to get to school by transit; 30 mins walking.

That being said I did notice that most students lived on the side of the school!
Reviewed by Penn Carey Law Student living at 250 S 23rd St
The beautiful tree-filled neighborhood is full of families, dogs, and students - it is safe, full of great restaurants, and boasts an equally quick walk to both University City and downtown attractions. The immediate access to the Schuylkill River Trail also can't be beat. While we lack apartment amenities, we love living in a historical brownstone that has charm and character. This is an area where you can live as a student and stay for another 20 years after that.
Reviewed by Penn Carey Law Student living at 2400 Chestnut Apartments
Great neighborhood, though expensive for Philly. If you're a Penn grad student who wants to be near campus but not on campus, it's ideal for distance from school and the Rittenhouse area. Lots of parks and residents are friendly.
There are residents without housing in the neighborhood. They're good people and new residents should be respectful of them and their belongings.
Reviewed by Penn Resident living at Locust on the Park
The neighborhood is very residential. Not a ton of bars/restaurants which can be annoying if you just want to pick up food after a busy day, but it's right near the park and Skukyhill river trail which is great for exercising and getting outdoors. Close to Trader Joe's and South Street market which is convenient
Reviewed by Penn Med Student living at 2400 Chestnut Apartments
Center City is a fantastic area. I live on the northern side of it, which is the more financial/industrial/apartment building side. I live 2 blocks from a busy Trader Joe's and inches away from tons of great restaurants, corner stores, and shops. It's close to Rittenhouse Square, a swanky square block with a tiny park in the middle, as well as the Schuylkill River trail (great for running and biking) and the Art Museum area. Multiple major bus lines slice through this neighborhood, making it quite easy to get anywhere when you don't want to walk or bike.
Reviewed by Nick, Wharton MBA Student living at Locust on the Park
This spot is perfect -- closer to campus, near the train station, huge spaces, kind and helpful staff, cool-looking building, new gym, beautiful park nearby, and overall easy and awesome loft-style living experience. I think people will pressure to have to live on Rittenhouse because that's what everyone immediately says to do, but in reality you can live near Rittenhouse (Locust on the Park is just a 5 minute walk to the square) and not miss out on anything. Fitler Square is beautiful, quiet, and still a perfect location.
Reviewed by Penn Medicine Student living at 2400 Chestnut Apartments
Pros: close to school as well as all the fun stuff downtown (Schuylkill River Trail, restaurants, bars, museums, theaters, shopping, you name it!); very safe even walking alone late at night; lots of other students here
Cons: Trader Joe's is the only real grocery store here and may have limited selection for those looking for a supermarket; not as quiet or "neighborhood-y" as other areas, as it is in the heart of downtown; there is a freight train that runs along the river that can be loud, though I got used to it quickly
