2400 Chestunut

Great apartment building-- good bang for your buck. a little under a 15 minute walk from the law school. Sizeable apartments, has everything you need. Very friendly management. Good price for parking for residents if you need parking. Close to Trader Joe's.

Excellent choice

Excellent location, safe with 24 hour doorman, extremely quick maintenance, well-maintained building, spacious rooms, and large windows. A little on the expensive side but lots of value for the money.

Affordable high-rise, convenient location

Although 2400 Chestnut is admittedly an older building compared to other high-rises in the Center City area, it is definitely one of the cheapest, if not the cheapest. The location is amazing- close to Center City restaurants, Trader Joes, 30th St. Station, and a 20 min. walk from Penn Med and HUP. Moreover, the shuttle in the mornings and afternoons to University City that 2400 provides is wonderful for when it is cold or raining- you do have to get down to the lobby about 5-10 min. early to secure a spot on the van, but has not been a problem. The apartments itself are quite spacious with lots of storage space- the appliances and fixtures are older, but everything is functional and the management is wonderful/responsive. One thing to note is that it can get somewhat cold in the winter because of the large windows- they definitely let in lots of sunlight, but also leak a lot of heat. I have found this to be easily solved by using a space heater though!

Couple in 2400 Chestnut

2400 is a sure bet. Doorman, elevators, repairmen when needed, no mice/roaches/vermin, and a shuttle to get you to campus in the morning. That said, it's pretty pricey and it feels like we could have gotten a better value elsewhere.

The best place to live!

I have absolutely loved my 3.5 years at 2400 Chestnut. The location is incredibly convenient. It is walking distance to campus (20-25 min), and 2 blocks from Trader Joe's and Rite Aid. From a public transportation perspective, it is just a 5-minute walk to 30th St. Station (Amtrak, regional rail, subway; plus BoltBus, Megabus, and LUCY shuttle right behind the station) and 22nd St. station (trolley), it is right next to a SEPTA bus stop as well as a Penn bus stop, and there is free van service just for 2400 residents on weekday mornings to Penn's campus. The management and staff are incredibly friendly and there is a 24-hour doorman who accepts packages. Maintenance requests are handled within 1 business day. The apartments are spacious with brand new windows that have great views. Lots of Penn affiliates live here. The only downsides I can think of are that the fire alarm accidentally goes off with some frequency, and the appliances are aging (though still perfectly functional). Overall, I wouldn't have wanted to live anywhere else (and my roommate and I have never once discussed moving).

Reliable and safe

2400 Chestnut is a great place to live for a busy student or working professional. The building is clean, the rooms are relatively quiet, and if something ever breaks, they've got a tablet on the front desk for you to write down the issue - and it's usually fixed by the end of the day when you return home.

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.

Perks of 2400 Chestnut

I love that I can take the shuttle to school! And the management is really nice! I could use a little more sunlight in my apartment, but that's to be expected in a big high rise. I always feel very safe here and I love that the door guard knows who everyone is!

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...

Fitler Square Reviews

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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
