Michael Singer Real Estate

Great price for Rittenhouse area, great area, large and charming units, pet friendly, great view from highrise and lots of sunlight. Only downside is occasional bugs

The apartment is in a quiet area of center city nearby great restaurants and grocery stores. There is a commute to HSB by walking (25mins), biking (<10mins), or SETPA (15 mins). You can access all of center city, Ucity, and nearby parks. The building is older, with no in unit washer/dryer and window units for AC. The neighborhood is really nice, and I love being in the city separate from the college towns where I feel like a young professional instead of a college student.

The building and apartment is older with a DIY feel; it's great for the price in a perfect location and with very responsive staff. It's exposed to street noise, however, at least on the lower floors.

The Chatham was built in the 1920s and has lots of historic charm. It doesn't have the frills of a modern luxury apartment like the study spaces, roof-top pool, or gym, but it's spacious, clean, and safe, and you won't find a better price in Rittenhouse.

The Chatham is located in a great location for MBA students. The unit is also exceptionally large for a one bedroom. That said it is a barebones apartment building: washer/dryer is in the basement, no meaningful amenities, limited pack delivery space, pipe are loud. The service team needs to be reminded multiple times to resolve issues and moving in was an extremally stressful experience with strange rules.

All that said, $1,600 is an exceptionally good price for a huge 1-bedroom and 90% of the time I am happy with my choice to save money and live here.

The Chatham is barebones but a good deal for an amazing location with huge units. I wanted a place in the heart of Rittenhouse Square and the Chatham delivers on that. Pros include a very large unit, friendly staff, and easy access to public transit. Cons are generally related to the age of the building. The laundry is in the basement, the radiators make noise, and there is no gym. Overall I’m happy living in the Chatham but you get what you pay for.

The Chatham is a solid barebones building. The location is amazing as 20th and Walnut is the center of everything associated with MBA student life. The apartment has essentially no amenities but the door men are friendly and the packages are always taken care of. The floor plan for my one bedroom is massive. My biggest complaint is that laundry is coin operated. If you are looking to save money on rent while still living in a great location this is a good option.

My experience in this apartment building has been mostly positive. The building is quite dated so I've had numerous maintenance requests for things like the shower, the pipes, and the sink; however, maintenance is very responsive and helpful. Individual air units make the summer heat bearable, though you cannot regular your own heat so winter is a bit more difficult. There is so much space, both in terms of the floorplan and closet space. Public transportation is accessible and there are so many walkable bars and restaurants (despite COVID). We're in the middle of center city so granted, it is loud. Still, I have been pleased with my living experience here.

What the Chatham lacks in frills, it makes up for in space and reliability of appliances / management. Management has done a great job keeping up the building. Studios are larger than those in newer buildings, but the cost is well below market because the building is older.

Good location, decent value, eh quality

the only complaint i have is that the kitchen has little counterspace so it's a bit uncomfortable for cooking. Otherwise the area around the apartment is really nice and I feel comfortable in the apartment

Fixtures are old but everything works. Good for the price. Small kitchen and one bedroom is very small. Great location. Close enough to Rittenhouse but quieter and closer to UPenn

Such a hidden gem. Loads of space. Beautiful apartment with lots of character. Not fit for someone looking for super modern apartment. No gym is only minus.

Older building but best value doorman building for sure
