Good community, okay apartment

My apartment is fine, but somewhat expensive for what you get in terms of amenities and space. That being said, the community in 2116 is great as it pertains to being a Wharton student.

Great place for Wharton MBAs

Fantastic for Wharton MBA students. Good amenities, gym not too crowded, very well-located near Rittenhouse, Schuylkill, and Wharton. Generally speaking, if you're looking for the best social experience and are willing to pay, 2116 is the best place to live (1919 market other competition but on louder Market Street).

Dog run is fantastic on the first floor. Close walk to Rittenhouse / Schuykill dog park.

Pricey but worth it

2116 Chestnut is definitely on the pricier end for grad housing, but I would say it's worth it. There are a ton of Wharton students in the building, so you will meet a lot of your classmates just by proximity. It also makes it really easy to have small group gatherings with other students. The building has a private fenced dog park, which is mega convenient if you have a dog (particularly during the winter).

Overpriced for what it is, but fon location

2116 can get a reputation for being a bit of a "dorm" which is certainly merited. It is a very social building and fun to live in.

The facilities are fine, but you certainly overpay for what you receive

Great community, awful management

This is where most of the class lives so if you are the type to get FOMO definitely live here. That said it is a bit pricey (but you can mitigate this if you sign a lease a bit early- eg look in March and pay for June/July). The management is also awful and will constantly find ways to screw you... but it’s worth being near your classmates.

Convenient and hub for Wharton

The location is very convenient (about 20 min walk to campus and within 10 mins to anywhere in rittenhouse). There are tons of Wharton students in the building, so it’s been a fun and easy way to meet people.

Expensive

While the building is undoubtedly popular, the value for money is lacking. The location is great and the views from the floor to ceiling windows are are beautiful, but beyond this you do not get too much for your high rent. There is no pool, the gym is just okay, and following COVID, the amenity spaces have been restricted in ways that other complexes have not done.

About Fitler Square

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

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.
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
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
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.
