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.

Pros:

- Spacious rooms with lots of sunlight and huge windows with great city / river views

- Great management

- Very affordable, especially with roommates

Cons:

- The interiors of the buildings seem a bit old, but the rooms are mostly renovated

- Small and old gym and common area

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.

Best bang for your buck in a renovated high rise

The apartment is lovely, especially the newly renovated units. While it doesn't offer the same level amenities as other high-rise apartments, it makes up for that in affordability and location - right by the Rite Aid, the Trader Joes, and Center City while only a 20 min walk (or 6 min bus ride) from UPenn's campus. Between the cargo train off the Schuylkill river, unit renovations, and work on the Chestnut street bridge, noise can be a bit of a problem. That being said, there is little to no noise from adjacent units. The free laundry room on every floor is great along with the dishwasher, garbage disposal and trash room (especially coming from someone who lived without these for years!) The doormen are friendly, helpful, and responsive to concerns and the mail room is great. Finally, the large windows in every unit are amazing both for their natural light and views.

Would recommend!

Spacious apartment and responsive maintenance staff. Some noise during the day due to construction in the building.

2400 Management overall has been great, very responsive to any maintenance issues. The staff is friendly and helpful with things like receiving packages. The location and the views from the apartments are some of the best in the city. However, some units are currently being renovated, which leads to a lot of construction noise. Also, the A/C and heating units are old. There are no thermostats and it is hard to keep a constant temperature in the units.

Overall a great experience as the units are newly renovated but the construction of the Chestnut bridge and renovations being worked on in other apartments gets noisy, maintenance issues take some time to be addressed, and walls are thin. But the location is amazing, views are great - super convenient for students that need to be in University city but also want to stay close to the city side. Huge windows that makes for a lot of sunlight and incredible sunsets daily (if you're facing the river).

Cons:

- Construction around the apartment has been going on for over a year. Roadblocks can make it difficult to get food deliveries or access to public transportation.

- Renovation of apartments has been going on for over a year. Can be very loud.

- No pets

- Frequent false fire alarms (not drills).

- One shuttle for students is not enough. Mornings are a race to the van.

Pros:

- Free washing machine and dryers on each floor

- Friendly staff

- Proactive measures against spread of COVID

- Renovated units are very nice; stainless steel refrigerator and microwave, marble countertops, 4 closets for clothes plus a storage closet.

- Beautiful view of either the river or center city.

- Free of pests

- Great location; 20 minutes walk to UPenn, 5 minutes walk to center city, close to SEPTA stops.
