Great building

very nice amenities, huge gym, location is around good food. doormen are great. it is very secure. appliances are all in-unit and modern. my apt doesn't have sunlight but some do.

Building is well kept, front desk is attentive and watches out for safety, maintenance is highly responsive, easy mail/package system. Pearl Properties also organizes various events that are fun for grad students around the beginning and end of the school year. Half a block from the 17th & Walnut bus stop that goes right to Huntsman.

I like the apartment overall, and the building amenities are nice. I think the security in the building is a little relaxed and there were a couple of security incidents last year that I think the building should have been more proactive in responding to. It is a good location though, and I ultimately decided to stay for my second year. Management is responsive about any maintenance issues. It can also get noisy at night if you're facing the street.

Responsive and reliable property management company, great common area and bang for your buck apartments.

1700 Chestnut!

I am having a great time in my studio at 1700 Chestnut. The layout is amazing, with lots of storage for everything I need. I am able to fit all the furniture I would like in the apartment with no problems. The apartment itself and the building are both beautiful, well-maintained, and highly functional. The location is unbeatable and the amenities are amazing too! My only downside is that the lovely windows/view also come with a lot of street noise (although I hear very little to no apartment noise). Nothing some sleep headphones can't handle, though!

I've lived here for all three years of law school and have had a terrific experience. The building is well maintained, management is highly responsive maintenance requests, and the commons spaces are always very clean. The only downside is that it takes ~30 minutes to walk to campus, but the 21 and 42 buses are great options for commuting.

This building is in the middle of hotels, night clubs and traffic congestion. The windows are large and super thin, therefore don't provide any noise (and heat) isolation. You will wake up in the middle of the night with either 1) people fighting on the street, 2) loud music from the night club across the street, 3) garbage truck or 4) street singer shouting.

This building is a hidden gem for Wharton students - very centrally located, with nice amenities.
