The best perk of this apartment is the location. It takes me about 6 minutes to get to school (normal pace). During 1L, we had several 9am classes so living nearby the school helped with my sleeping schedule. One downside of the apartment is that the concierge wasn't as friendly as they were during the tour. Some interactions with the concierge is not friendly. It's hard to pick up packages in the late afternoon/after classes because the concierge is absent without notice. The apartment unit itself is very nice though. Great space and good views!

-hazardous: elevator malfunctions often, I was stuck in an elevator for over 30 minutes, and there was no signal and the emergency button was not working. Management has a gate in between the 5th and the 6th floor that only maintenance can open so staircase acessibility is extremely low. In cases of fire alarms, the elevators do not function and residents cannot get to the first floor because of the gate.
-frequent system malfunctions: fire alarm goes off very frequently, I had several fire alarms go off during interviews and I could not relocate because of the issues discussed above.
-unfriendly management: After I was stuck in an elevator, I told management what had happened and they told me "we do our routine check-ups, what do you want". More care should be placed into the safety of the residents. Additionally, management is very slow at responding (on average takes them a week to respond to emails).
-dishonest practices: bad/slow at returning security deposits. Despite indicating a deadline of 2 mths on the contract, they took over 4 mths to return it. It took numerous phone calls and emails. Told me the security deposit was 1950 when I paid 2450. Had to find proof to present it to them. Told me the aparment is quiet and there were no constructions in the vincinity - there was an ongoing building construction for the full year I lived there (even at 2AM). Never responds to noise complaints. Had severe dog barking issues from neighbor but management never took action. Utilities are much higher (2~4 times) than similar residences (i.e. Paid $150~200 but the chestnut pays around $50 for a similarly sized unit). Make sure to have everything in writing if you do decide to live here.

Love the space; plenty of room, tons of storage, walls are thick and neighbors are quiet. Management is overloaded thus somewhat unresponsive to issues; the coffee machine on the 6th is often out of order for weeks at a time, and I have not gotten a mailbox key despite living there for 3 months. But, so long as there are not issues, it's a perfect place to live. Also a 5 minute walk from the law school and I feel very safe!!

The only good things about Arrive are probably its distance to Penn Law and quietness. However, there are lots of shortcomings including waiting super long time for the elevator (for an entire week, there was only 1 elevator functioning, I had to use stairs multiple times and I lived 20+ floor), incorrect electricity bills. Also, even though they provide free printing, the printer has been broken for 2 months, not to mention during the time when the printer did function, the paper always ran out and they won't replenish.

Love my apartment. Very spacious and good separation with quarter wall for a studio. Only complaint is the fire alarm for the building has been going off a lot which is annoying. Also wish my apt had windows that open - check for ones that do, but ventilation is good so not really a problem. No pest issues thus far, and maintenance is usually timely. Safe neighborhood. Had a $3k discount because they were running a special when I looked in May. Look early if you can!

I chose this apartment for its amenities (pool, gym) and for its proximity to the hospital (~12-15 min walk). The pool is advertised as heated but was not heated in the past 2 years despite bringing it up to management. Additionally, the lanternfly situation at our building was out of control this past year without any change in handling by administration. Our building seemed like ground zero for lanternflies. Overall, it's a good place to live but overpriced and management needs to be more responsive to resident needs.

We really enjoy it here. I (obviously) took out a larger loan to cover expenses, but there is a beautiful rooftop pool and patio with a fire pit and grills as well as a gym and study rooms. It's expensive, but for us it's been worth it. There is key card entry so its secure and the front desk people receive packages so they don't get left out.

Great place to live, lots of amenities, convenient mail service, great front desk people. I love the huge windows, cleanliness, and quiet. I have no complaints about living here, but it hasn't been the most cost-efficient in covid, because I haven't been able to take advantage of public spaces like the gym, pool, and meeting areas (which are open, but I don't feel comfortable using them). There's not much to do around here in terms of food/bars/parks, but it's close to Penn Law and groceries are a reasonable distance (close to Giant Heirloom and walkable to Acme).

Management is very responsive and the building is well secured. Gym and amenities are great and well kept. Typically quiet but noise does leak a bit, probably standard for apartment living in a large city. There were several issues with plumbing/leaks and while they were frustrating, maintenance is very responsive and good at their job.
