1700 Chestnut Review

Excellent building, modern interiors/appliances and first-class amenity center. Even on the 7th floor, there is a decent amount of traffic and street noise on evenings and weekends, in addition to the garbage truck that comes in the morning on the 17th street side. Rooms are spacious with high ceilings and plenty of sunlight. Mostly students living here - it's a safe, clean and well-managed building with 24-hour staffed front-desk.

I used to like living at 1700 but in my second year of living there the number of maintenance issues has gone up 10-fold. Definitely ask about the age of your unit if you plan to live here. They also have gotten incredibly strict on guests which can be really frustrating.

The amenities are fantastic (treadmills are a bit shaky), building is relatively quiet. Feels like a lot of Wharton students live here for a mid-rise, but don't necessarily bump into them all the time. Exterior units can get pretty loud, interior units don't have much natural light.

The apartment is beautiful and the amenities are top notch! Building management is great. Just be aware that its a little further from campus and from where most students live. If you're ok with the extra 5 min commute, definitely check out this building!

Apartment is fine, building is old but okay (recently renovated). However there is TOO MUCH noise coming from outside, from both 17th and Chestnut streets. There is a night club on 17th St right across, you will hear people fighting, shouting, cars honking almost every night. Windows do not make a good job isolating the sound either.

Such a great deal for an incredible apartment. Modern apartment with great kitchen, large bathroom, lots of closet space, washer dryer, dishwasher, garbage disposal etc. Awesome amenities with a gym, lounge with pool table, movie theater, and study areas. Management is top notch, always responds to maintenance requests promptly (the only requests we’ve had were minor things like light bulb replacements). other tenants mostly grad students and young professionals. The building is pretty quiet although depending which side of the building you face there may be some street noise. Location is also perfect in the heart of center city so you can get takeout and groceries super close by, and enjoy all the bars and restaurants in the area. I recommend this building to everyone!

Highly recommend, fabulous tenant relations team and really well-maintained and pleasant building.

Definitely would recommend!

Overall, I quite like this apartment. The rent is very reasonable for the area.

My unit was newly renovated. It has hardwood floors, spacious walk-in closet, high ceiling and high windows.

I never have any problem adjusting the temperature in the room. The heater works really well.

The whole team is very responsive. Pearl Properties and the front desk is very responsive and always helpful. Maintenance team is also fast to help fix the problems (in my experience 1-2 days).

I didn't like the fact that the apartment is noisy because we are on Chestnut Street. Cars honk all the time!
