Great Value and Location

Pros:
- Very convenient location (e.g., near Amtrak, near 2401 Walnut, near Trader Joe's, near 2116 Chestnut, 15 min walk to campus)
- Free cable, free 24/7 gym
- Free shuttle to Penn campus every morning
- Friendly management, doormen

Cons:
- Not much of a community with other Wharton/Penn students here, unlike other buildings
- No lounge
- Carpeted apartments are less "nice" than hardwood ones in other buildings

Love 2400!

Perfect location! Easy to get to Penn, easy to get to Rittenhouse.

Best view in town for the price.

Incredibly nice doormen/concierge

Newly renovated apartments have wood floors, granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances.

Very Happy with 2400 Chestnut!

I wonder why more Wharton students don't live in 2400 Chestnut. The location is perfect--right across behind 2401 Walnut where lots of Wharton events and group meetings take place and about 20 minutes walk to Wharton. The rent is very reasonable and the rooms are very large. There is a 24-hour concierge, free gym and a free shuttle to campus on weekdays. Management is also fairly responsive and the folks that work in the building are super nice. My only complaint is that there isn't a lounge or large kitchen to host social events. Overall, I have not regretted choosing 2400 Chestnut one bit!

Quiet, adequate, nothing special

Things break relatively frequently (elevators, HVAC, garbage disposal, random brackets), but maintenance is responsive. The constant renovations are annoying but otherwise apartments are quiet. I rarely hear other residents.

They have an extremely weird and possibly illegal policy that three people cannot live in a two bedroom apartment unless two of them are related or married. This does not appear to apply to a one bedroom or studio so it makes no sense.

Satisfied Tenant

I've lived here for 3.5 years, and I am content with the living space.

The biggest draw back is the dated interior of the unit, though the building is currently renovating studios and 1 bedrooms (which are BEAUTIFUL). Also, there aren't great common spaces, so the building as a whole is not very social.

Otherwise, I love the building. I like the ease of an apartment building for mail, as compared to a brownstone. The concierges are all quite nice and management is super responsive. Maintenance issues are often addressed same day if the issue is reported in the morning. There is a free shuttle to and from campus on weekdays (SO CLUTCH FOR WINTER). Building comes with gym access. There is parking available for an extra fee, which is much cheaper than any other lots in the city outside of residential permits for street parking. There's laundry on each floor which I never have issues with. And the rent for the 2 bed 2 baths is a steal in my opinion. Other rooms are also well priced compared to other buildings in the city, especially the renovated units.

Overall, I would recommend the building.

West facing unit on high floor. Completely remodeled this past summer. Door men could not be nicer. Perfectly convenient to UPenn and Rittenhouse areas

Great Building - Friendly Staff

Awesome apartment...lots of space amazing views a little on the older side but entire building is being renovated starting with the 1 bedroom apartments. Maintenance service is incredibly prompt they show up in very few minutes. Free gym and shuttle bus to University City. You can’t go wrong with this building. Also good value for your money!

Spacious and great doorman/staff

Very close to campus, no dogs allowed, our view is probably the best in Philadelphia. Our place isn't updated but they're in the process of updating them all

About Fitler Square

Situated right along the Schuylkill River, Fitler Square is a quaint neighborhood full of old-school Philadelphia charm. 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.
