Awesome building

The building is only a couple years old and the apartments are very nice. There's a common floor with a gym, study spaces, and theater room. If you live on one of the higher floors, there are great views. All the apartments have floor to ceiling windows, too, so tons of natural light. It's about a 7 minute walk to school. A shared Uber to Rittenhouse/Center City area is usually about $3.75.

Close to school

The primary reason I rented here was because of the quick walk to school, and my unit was less expensive then the availability at Domus. The building is great. It's very secure with a front desk attendant at all times, and requires a FOB to enter and to take the elevator.

There is tons of study space, I mostly study on the second floor which has tables, chairs, rooms, and a coffee machine.

The units are clean and new, and everything works great. I have no complaints about living here. Maintenance is great, and the staff is extremely friendly.

Great!

My partner and I love living here. It is a little pricier than we wanted, but we are getting our money's worth.

Don't let the price deter you

The building is definitely expensive for the city but the proximity to school has been wonderful. Also, the new construction means that we rarely if ever have issues with the apartment. The management is remarkably responsive and addresses any inquiries and requests right away. They also host monthly events with delicious food.

I love the gym. Even though they don't host classes, having the fitness center just downstairs means that I didn't have to join another gym and don't need to leave the building to work out.

University City apartment

I love 3737 Chestnut. I have a 1 BR 1 den very spacious and very bright apartment. It is very convenient to have a washer/dryer and dishwasher in the unit. Whenever I have visitors they all comment on how great the granite counter tops and floor to ceiling windows are. To top it off I LOVE their brand new gym and the most amazing roof top. Overall I am very pleased with my choice on making 3737 chestnut my home.

Worth the price

A hefty price tag, but worth it for the convenience, the ample study space, the great rooftop and lounge areas with massive TVs (almost always available), and the comfortable apartments. The fact it's brand new is also a great feature.

University City Reviews

159 reviews
University City feels very safe with so many students living in the area as well as the added presence of University security. There are plenty of restaurants and easy access to basic necessities (e.g. grocery store, pharmacy). I really like it because it makes getting to work super convenient and street parking is much more available for visitors (or if you're like me and occasionally borrow your parents' car) compared to other areas of the city. It is also very close to the Schuylkill River Trail for walking/running/biking, is a quick walk into Center City, and gives you easy access to a variety of public transportation as well as major highways.
I love living in this neighborhood! There are a few parks nearby, and there's all kinds of great food places. I definitely try to be cautious and aware of my surroundings, but overall I feel very safe where I live. I love that I can easily walk to school and that the SEPTA trolley lines go right past my house- easy to get to center city for internships, etc.

Lately it has gotten a little noisy at night on my street, but otherwise I have few complaints about the neighborhood.
Living along Baltimore Ave is great - tons of small shops, restaurants, and bars. It's also really easy to get to school or center city on the trolleys. Neighborhood has all the city amenities but is way cheaper and quieter than center city.
I am in UCity, right across the street from the law school. It's quiet but it is kind of far from rittenhouse and center city. There are only a few restaurants and bars around here, but its a short uber into the city.
University City is a bustling college town with plenty of bars, restaurants and nightlife. You don't need to go far to find whatever is you're looking for.
For Penn students, the location is perfect, less than a five minute walk to school. There are bars, food, etc though center city offers more options.
Very close to university and law school. Good fast food options. A bit far from downtown
Nice and clean, seemingly safe, not much to do in the area though
