Overpriced and Underserviced

Egregious rent for living in a glorified form with a completely incompetent management team. Door people don’t take packages, finding your package in the room take 30 minutes +, trash chute is out of commission for 1/4 the year, extremely loud due to paper thin / cheap walls, etc etc. Worst of all, management actually tried increasing my rent $900 PER MONTH upon renewal. Extremely disappointing experience, and I can’t wait to move out. I hope students find alternative housing going forward and this building finally pays the piper.

Nicer apartment than pretty much any other building, all things considered. Amazing location and great to be in the same building as so many of my friends. Wildly overpriced. Management can be annoying. Easily the best building for a Wharton student, if money isn't an issue.

Good, with room for improvement

Love the apartment space, but think it is a bit pricey given location (somewhat unsafe at night, more noticable homeless population within ~0.5 blocks of entrances), noise level (always pretty active common spaces given Wharton-oriented building), and amenities (appliances, counters, blinds a bit dated compared to what I would expect at this price point)

2116 Chestnut Review

(+) Love having a lot of Wharton students in one building
(+) Great amenities
(+) Gorgeous views on either side of the building, especially on higher floors
(+) Friendly & helpful maintenance
(+) Excellent location - in Rittenhouse but only a 25 minute walk to Huntsman
(-) Disappointed that there isn't a swimming pool like other high-rises
(-) Non-Wharton neighbors can be very sensitive to noise

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.
