Great building. Management nickels and dimes.

Location is excellent. Views are great. Nice layout and the bathrooms are some of the nicest we saw in all of the buildings we visited (both high rises and brownstones). Only drawback is the lack of amenities (no gym, no pool, no common work areas). Lots of Wharton folks in the building.

Pros: Many wharton or Penn students, well-maintained, good and prompt service from the staff, and a great location! Cons: Not the cheapest (utilities not included), few variety of amenities offered (only doormen, no gym, no lounge, etc)

Pros: 1. very good location (close to trader joes, starbucks, dunkin donuts and most importantly opposite one of the few wine stores in center city :)). its extremely close to the rittenhouse square so cant go wrong with the location. 2. responsive management 3. lots of people from wharton so easy for sharing cabs in the morning. 4. I live in a large 2 bedroom so very spacious and good value for money Cons: 1. no gym or common facilities 2. the common utility bill comes quite high. So talk to the management about that. include that in your rent calculation. Overall, if i was to make this decision again, i would stick with this building because i have heard some bad stories about other buildings.

I really like this place. The apartments are great and the location is amazing, close enough to campus to go by bike and close to Rittenhouse and all the barsrestaurants. Management is ok, doorman not very friendly, although they had changed the people a bit and is becoming better. Not so many ammenities as other places, but I think is a great value for the money. Look for the corner apartments, they are specially good since you get a lot of sunlight. Another important thing is that the units have windown in the bathroom, something not easy to find in other places.

Several of us had an awful time dealing with the leasing agent. The building is poorly insulated, so buy a heater to supplement it. The utilities could get high simply because of the common area allocated portion.

1930 Chestnut is a great building, though dealing with management can be a hassle. On the whole, the apartments are a solid value - they've been renovated fairly recently and are often larger than apartments in a similar price range. There are a lot of graduate students in the building. Within two blocks are several convenience stores, restaurants, and popular clubsbars. Building management is very slow to respond to issues, though they do ultimately respond. Also, utility bills can be higher than expected due to an annoying common utility fee that residents are charged. There is no gym in the building, but there are several located within a few blocks of the building. The trolley is only a few blocks away and goes most places students need to go. I'd definitely recommend the building for other graduate students looking for a decent-size place, relatively new apartment amenities, and the security of a high-rise buildings, though I'd also suggest factoring in the lack of amenities and potential management issues when looking at the building.

I think this is overall a great building. I rarely have to wait for elevators, great location, doorman on duty, and the apartments are quite spacious and relatively affordable. I think the only downside is that there are a few quirks with the apartment such as the key fob for the entrance has not been fixed in six months and our windows are a bit hard to open but other than that things are great. It is quiet, people are friendly, and the big plus is the location. I would definitely continue living here if I was not leaving Philly.

Excellent location. The apartement is fully renovated and the building is maintained in good shape.

In unit washerdryer. Most rooms are carpeted
