Would definitely suggest

Gym is small, but does what I need it to. Building isn't in the best shape, but I think I am getting a good value and I like the location. Management and door men are very nice. Comes with cable, so that's nice. Shuttle isn't all that good of a deal (very cramped and bad times). Good amount of space. Parking is relatively cheap at 130 a month. 1 mile from law school- so 10 minute bike ride and 18 minute walk.

Love 2400 Chestnut - no complaints!

The staff is super friendly, the apartment is older than some of the other apartment buildings in Center City but is very well maintained. I have no complaints.

Great Location

Nice location, close to the university. The rent feels real though especially because coming from the mid-west, I am used to getting similar or better facilities for almost half the price. Still recommended because of it's proximity to public transit and all the major night life activities!

Great location for Wharton, great value

Really like this building - rent is cheaper than other places in Center City. The location between CC and Wharton is very convenient. The apartment building offers shuttles to/from campus, particularly helpful in the winter months. Gym is in the basement and a little dark, but has everything you'd need. Doormen are really nice. Apartment's either face the city or Wharton side. We were on an upper floor which costs a little bit extra a month, but the views are great and I'd recommend taking an upper level apartment.

Great place close to campus

One of the best values for the money, shuttle to campus, gym with all the necessities. Great management. Downside is the carpet and the occasional fire alarms.

Good value, gets the job done.

2400 does the job. The location is the perfect mix of close to school, close to Rittenhouse and close to 2401. Doormen are the nicest. A shuttle takes you to school everyday. Relatively spacious spot., very responsive management. Good value for the money. The building is a bit old and it shows. Insulation is poor which means electric bills in the summer and winter can get high. Does seem like the most social place, but that's not as high on my list of priorities.It is right next to the railroad that runs along the Schuylkill, which can be annoying depending on which side of the building you're on or how light of a sleeper you are.

Highly recommended!

I've lived in 2400 Chestnut since the start of the school year, and picking this place was a GREAT decision! It's a 20 min walk to school, and other shared spaces that Wharton leases in Center City (such as 2401 Walnut and Pub) are a short 5-min walk away. Admittedly, it isn't as plush as some of the newer high-rises in Center City, but it offers tremendous value for money. Another HUGE plus is the fabulous view of the river! The building management has been extremely helpful in every respect, and I've had no trouble since I've moved in.

2400 Chestnut

Great value - decently quality interiors, lots of storage space, a nice gym and a shuttle to Penn campus (several stops along Walnut) all make for great benefits at a very reasonable price.

Reviewed by Penn Med Student living at 2423 Manning St
Fitler Square is really cute and homey. It's around a lot of other medical students, so it's a good social area and has an easy commute to school. It's also great if you like running because it's right off the trail on the river. Food is good but a bit homogenous (compared to West Philly especially.
Reviewed by Wharton MBA Student living at Brownstone
Locust and spruce feel a lot safer than market or chestnut at night. Very residential streets with beautiful brownstones. Also close to dog park and the river walkway. About 10min walk from the popular buildings and 25min walk to huntsman
Reviewed by Penn Nursing Student living at The Riverloft Apartments
good place for people new to the city! close to both Penn and a lot of stuff downtown. I never lived in Philly beforehand, and definitely recommend this location
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.
