Management is awesome. Kind and responsive. The renovated apartments have top quality finishes. Location is very nice, splits the difference between center city and university city. Rent is a little expensive, but you get what you pay for.

Pros:

- Spacious rooms with lots of sunlight and huge windows with great city / river views

- Great management

- Very affordable, especially with roommates

Cons:

- The interiors of the buildings seem a bit old, but the rooms are mostly renovated

- Small and old gym and common area

Best bang for your buck in a renovated high rise

The building is conveniently located, has a shuttle to campus, and has a solid gym (most equipment, but very old). The renovated units are nice, but are expensive. However, they building was flexible on lease time (e.g., 9 months vs. 12 months) which can save money.

The apartment is lovely, especially the newly renovated units. While it doesn't offer the same level amenities as other high-rise apartments, it makes up for that in affordability and location - right by the Rite Aid, the Trader Joes, and Center City while only a 20 min walk (or 6 min bus ride) from UPenn's campus. Between the cargo train off the Schuylkill river, unit renovations, and work on the Chestnut street bridge, noise can be a bit of a problem. That being said, there is little to no noise from adjacent units. The free laundry room on every floor is great along with the dishwasher, garbage disposal and trash room (especially coming from someone who lived without these for years!) The doormen are friendly, helpful, and responsive to concerns and the mail room is great. Finally, the large windows in every unit are amazing both for their natural light and views.

Spacious apartment and responsive maintenance staff. Some noise during the day due to construction in the building.

Would recommend!

2400 Management overall has been great, very responsive to any maintenance issues. The staff is friendly and helpful with things like receiving packages. The location and the views from the apartments are some of the best in the city. However, some units are currently being renovated, which leads to a lot of construction noise. Also, the A/C and heating units are old. There are no thermostats and it is hard to keep a constant temperature in the units.

It's overall fine, but there are major drawbacks. For example, the washer/dryers are only 2 to a floor and constantly breaking. I know other residents found mold in their water filters and were ignored. Both times the fire alarm has gone off, it has randomly switched off when it was not supposed to and there was still a fire. The elevators break often. They are using their maintenance staff to help with the renovations so requests take forever to be fulfilled. They do not keep to 'drilling hours' so construction noise is unrelenting. On the lower floors, there's also noise from the bridge construction. Management generally seems not to care unless you really put your foot down.

The staff themselves are friendly and the renovations are very good considering that it's a mid-range mass apartment project. Move in process was easy and I feel very safe in the building itself. The surrounding neighborhood is safe, but be aware of your surroundings. Parking for residents is cheap, package pick up is easy, views are amazing, lots of storage in unit, no pests, and the units themselves are nice. Even with the bridge closed, it's an easy walk to Penn.

Overall a great experience as the units are newly renovated but the construction of the Chestnut bridge and renovations being worked on in other apartments gets noisy, maintenance issues take some time to be addressed, and walls are thin. But the location is amazing, views are great - super convenient for students that need to be in University city but also want to stay close to the city side. Huge windows that makes for a lot of sunlight and incredible sunsets daily (if you're facing the river).
