On a rent per square footage basis the building is a fantastic deal. The apartments are well maintained and the building is located in the heart of rittenhouse square. The management company leaves something to be desired. They are bad at communicating with tenants when issues arise in the building and have not handled the winter very well. I have lived in the building for two years now and am very happy with my experience. The building staff are friendly and the apartments well worth the price.

Overall great location for a Wharton MBA student. Closer to campus then some of the other good center city buildings. The appartments are a bit older in their look and feel. But overall quite spacious and with plenty of sunlight. The view is really great, assuming you are on the higher floors. The landlord and staff are very nice and good to deal with. No real complaints with the building.

Spacious units but the elevators get stuck occasionally which can be frustrating.

Bright apartments, lots of sunlight, open floor plans, and nice bathrooms. No amenities in the building and most of the doormen are less than worthless.

Apartments have in-unit washer/dryer, building has 24-hour doormen, only a couple blocks away from Trader Joe's and Rittenhouse Square.

Ideal for families with small kids. The maintenance person is very responsive. No amenities

One thing you should really know: ELECTRICITY BILLS ARE CRAZY EXPENSIVE for 2 bed rooms, so make sure that you get the bill included in your rent unless you want to pay addtional $250 per month during winter & summer and an addtional $150 during spring & fall. My roommate and I try really hard not to use electricity (AC, heating) too much, but the shared electricity bill assigned to our unit amounts to $100-$150 per month, so there is nothing we can really do. Unbelievable, but we were never told about this before we contracted the lease.

-Location: Super convenient, there is a 24/7 grocer, Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts and CVs all within 1 minute away. - Management: Great management, 24/7 doorman, maintenance very quick and friendly. - Washer dryer inside the unit.

1930 Chestnut is perfectly located - it's one block from the bus, 2-3 blocks from the trolley, a couple blocks from Trader Joe's and a fabulous liquor store, and it's in Rittenhouse Square near awesome restaurants and bars. If location is your top priority, you can't go wrong with this building. The apartments are nice and have different layouts that can better suit individual preferences - for example, both bedrooms in our 2BR have private bathrooms and are close to the same size, which is perfect when you have a roommate. We have a washer and dryer in our 2BR and everything in the kitchen works to our satisfaction (except for an iffy dishwasher). Management is so-so; Terez (who handles all odd requests such as using the service elevator, maintenance requests, etc.) is the man and very responsive/generous with his time, and some of the doormen are solid, but a lot of them don't acknowledge you and don't seem to be checking for strangers/guests. If you're from the Northeast this may be normal, but coming from Dallas I was a bit put off by their lack of courtesy. No gym which is unfortunate especially when it gets cold out. Overall though, great value, great location, nice apartments - I'm very happy with 1930 Chestnut.

Great location and value for money for a one bedroom in city center. Maintenance is very helpful and building manager very responsive.
