On the whole, the building is pretty good, although the rent is a little pricy. The renovated apartments are quite nice, there's free laundry on every floor, and a gym (albeit not the best gym you'll ever see). Management is fine. Higher floors have very nice views on either side and it's walking distance to both Penn and Center City. The renovations of other apartments can be noisy but hopefully (?) will be done soon.

Good Place to Live

I have lived in 2400 Chestnut for nearly 5 years and cannot imagine moving anytime soon. The management is extremely welcoming and responsive to all issues. The apartments are spacious with lovely views. No problems with pests. Laundry on every floor. Convenient ~15-20 min walk to work and free morning shuttle as an alternative commute option.

2400 is a great location between school and Rittenhouse Square. The building has huge windows and great views, and is overall very convenient. As they renovate prices are increasing, but the non-renovated rooms are still a pretty good value.

The rent can be a bit expensive, but the building is so comfortable that it is worth it in the end

2400 CHESTNUT

I love living in 2400, although it is certainly not perfect. Things I like about it: the location is perfect, easy access to center city and U city as well as multiple forms of public transport; the management and staff are extremely friendly and ready to help; the newly renovated apartments are super nice with lots of outlets, closet space, and big open windows. Things I don't like about it: there is no way to check your balance with management/make sure you have paid everything you owe besides asking someone to check manually and despite paying my rent/electric/car payment in a timely manner, I have had more than one instance where 2400 told me I owned them hundreds of dollars from months previously for an extra payment I didn't realize I owed (e.g. a new deposit when moving apartments within the building); they are still in the process of renovating apartments plus the city is redoing the Chestnut bridge so there is a LOT of construction at ALL times on many fronts and therefor a lot of noise even through the middle of the night and on weekends.

This was a terrific building during my first year of law school. However, the interior of the complex is undergoing a top-down gut renovation. On top of that, Chestnut St (including the bridge) is undergoing simultaneous major construction. In short, the noise pollution is constant and unrelenting. Tenants throughout the building agree. I have complained numerous times to management and they have done little to accommodate.

Location is great for being in the Wharton bubble, and also close to school. Newly renovated apartments (renovated this year) provide a great value, although building common areas and amenities are old need upgrading (hallways, gym).

Get a unit that faces the river and you have amazing sunset views

Building units are undergoing renovation and there is a lot of construction on the bridge nearby, so there's nearly constant construction noise any time of day and night.

Building renovation is slower than expected so if you move into an unrenovated unit with a promise of moving, you can factor in 2-3 months worth of delays.

The building front staff are very friendly and the place is safe. It is conveniently located ~25min pleasant walk to Wharton/UPenn and ~10min walk to Rittenhouse Square. Lots of Wharton students in the building.

Basic amenities - gym, small business center. No pool or lounge area.
