2400 Chestnut is a wonderful building with very responsive management, reasonable rent for which you get quite a few amenities, and a convenient location close to both the hospital and Center City.

2400 Chestnut isn’t going to make you feel that you’re living it up, but it’s got sturdy amenities (and in the off-chance something goes wrong, the management/repair people will be super on top of it), no pests (haven’t seen an actual insect in the apartment, ever), and good security. Other perks include the small gym downstairs, shuttle (can get you to school and back), and the nice doormen (who also handle mail). For proximity to center city, every other apartment building in the area will be significantly more expensive (i.e. 2116 Chestnut, Riverloft) - with the exception of Riverwest (which is much more run-down than 2400 Chestnut).

Very good place. A lot of amenities and great things in the area (e.g. 24 hour rite aid). Close to law school. Negative is that it's loud sometimes.

Apt definitely does the job. It's not overly nice or filled with amenities but I can't complain. There's a gym, free cable, and amazing shuttle in the morning (which turns into a mini school bus for Penn grad students).

Awesome place to live!

Pros:
- Very convenient location (e.g., near Amtrak, near 2401 Walnut, near Trader Joe's, near 2116 Chestnut, 15 min walk to campus)
- Free cable, free 24/7 gym
- Free shuttle to Penn campus every morning
- Friendly management, doormen

Cons:
- Not much of a community with other Wharton/Penn students here, unlike other buildings
- No lounge
- Carpeted apartments are less "nice" than hardwood ones in other buildings

Close to 2401, Value for Money

I wonder why more Wharton students don't live in 2400 Chestnut. The location is perfect--right across behind 2401 Walnut where lots of Wharton events and group meetings take place and about 20 minutes walk to Wharton. The rent is very reasonable and the rooms are very large. There is a 24-hour concierge, free gym and a free shuttle to campus on weekdays. Management is also fairly responsive and the folks that work in the building are super nice. My only complaint is that there isn't a lounge or large kitchen to host social events. Overall, I have not regretted choosing 2400 Chestnut one bit!

I've lived here for 3.5 years, and I am content with the living space.

The biggest draw back is the dated interior of the unit, though the building is currently renovating studios and 1 bedrooms (which are BEAUTIFUL). Also, there aren't great common spaces, so the building as a whole is not very social.

Otherwise, I love the building. I like the ease of an apartment building for mail, as compared to a brownstone. The concierges are all quite nice and management is super responsive. Maintenance issues are often addressed same day if the issue is reported in the morning. There is a free shuttle to and from campus on weekdays (SO CLUTCH FOR WINTER). Building comes with gym access. There is parking available for an extra fee, which is much cheaper than any other lots in the city outside of residential permits for street parking. There's laundry on each floor which I never have issues with. And the rent for the 2 bed 2 baths is a steal in my opinion. Other rooms are also well priced compared to other buildings in the city, especially the renovated units.

Overall, I would recommend the building.

Perfect location! Easy to get to Penn, easy to get to Rittenhouse.

Best view in town for the price.

Incredibly nice doormen/concierge

Newly renovated apartments have wood floors, granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances.
