A good value, but needs upgrading to compete with new complexes

I've been in 2400 chestnut for four years. I like the apartment; it has served me well. When I moved in, it was the only high-rise apartment in the immediate area. It's a good location, especially if you'd like to walk to campus, but it's a bit far from Rittenhouse (relatively). Over the years, other apartment buildings have risen and are significantly nicer than 2400 Chestnut. My studio has no central air, carpet, and older facilities. The gym is ok and has everything one might need, but the equipment is seriously out of date. If I was moving into the area next year, I would consider 2400 Chestnut a last resort compared to other, newer apartments in the area.

Great value for Wharton students; Terrific management

If you want to live in a high rise building, but not at Rittenhouse Square prices, 2400 Chestnut is the right choice.

Included: Gym, cable, shuttle to and from Wharton/Penn Med/Law, weekend shuttle for shopping.

The management and front desk staff are extremely friendly, accommodating, and helpful. I'll miss living here after I graduate.

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.

Basic apartment with great location and free cable/laundry

Basic apartment - think cream and pink colors, carpeting that doesn't lay right with the wall, etc. Rent is starting to be too much for what I get (though admittedly better than other close by complexes), but I love the location so much. Free cable and free laundry on every floor don't hurt. Recently replaced windows help with the efficiency of my electric heat/ a.c units but blinds let a lot of light in during the day if you work night shifts.

Great space for students

I've lived 2400 Chestnut for a year. My experience so far was wonderful. I am sharing 2 bedroom / 2 bathroom with my roommate. A view from the apartment is really gorgeous. Staffs are all friendly and nice. This building is located near the campus. It takes only 15min to walk to the school from the apartment. They also have a shuttle to the university city area in the morning and in the evening. Maintenance is pretty good and quick. Although it is more expensive than the apartment in university city, it is worthy! Overall, 2400 Chestnut will be a good choice for your housing.

Great Location, Awesome for students and young profesionals

2400 Chestnut apartments a great place to call your home. Awesome location, beautiful city/river views, spacious closets and good maintenance service. Could use better amenities for the amount of rent they charge.

Great place for students and young professionals!

2400 Chestnut - A hidden gem!

2400 is a great place to live. The building is clean, the tenets are nice and the management is efficient and friendly. I have had nothing but good experiences and have resigned my lease for another term! Also, there is ample closet and storage space.

Great apartment

Great building, great management, maintenance requests are usually fulfilled within a day, no rodents or bugs. I've lived here since I moved to Philly in 2011, and I highly recommend it.

Convenient location

I love living at 2400 Chestnut. It is the perfect balance of being in center city yet not too far from campus. The shuttle service is probably one of my favorite amentities. I hate the cold, so not having to walk to and from school in the winter is a blessing. Additionally, since I'm not walking as much in the winter (I like the short 20 minute walk to school during warmer months), I like being able to take advantage of the gym. The only thing about the gym that could be better would be the addition of a squat rack! The staff at 2400 is extremely friendly, and the doormen learned my name within a few days of me living there. The main complaint that I have is that there coud be some renovations done to modernize the apartment. The amenties (countertops, bathroom tiling, carpet etc) could be a lot nicer considering the monthly rent. Additionally, the walls have HUGE windows, which are GREAT for views of the city, but AWFUL when winter rolls around. The electric bill can get a bit out of control if you're not careful. Overall, I like living in 2400 Chestnut, and plan to stay there for my entire time of med school.

Fitler Square Reviews

294 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
