What You’re Renting: Units, Pricing, and Utilities
Five configurations are listed, from a 570-square-foot studio to a 920-square-foot two-bedroom, two-bath unit.
| Unit type | Size | Starting price |
|---|---|---|
| Studio, 1 bath | 570 sq ft | $2,050 to $2,600 |
| 1 bedroom, 1 bath | not published in the current listing | $2,500 to $2,900 |
| 2 bedroom, 2 bath | up to 920 sq ft | $3,000 to $3,200 |
Prices come from the live RentCafe listing and the Apartments.com listing; both refresh regularly, and the exact figure you’re quoted depends on floor and availability that week.
What’s included in the rent? Water, trash, and sewer, confirmed. Gas and heat status is disputed between two listings for this same property, so ask the leasing office directly rather than relying on either aggregator’s utility field.
Who Lives Here
The largest review sample for this building skews heavily toward one type of renter. Reviewer tags on VeryApt repeatedly identify residents as Penn Carey Law students, Penn medical students, and Penn SP2 social policy students, all describing short commutes to campus and hospital shuttles as the deciding factor. Families and long-term, non-student renters are close to absent from that same sample, which matters if your priorities don’t match a graduate student’s: a shorter commute to one specific campus, tolerance for transient neighbor turnover, and heavy reliance on a shuttle schedule instead of a car.
Location and Commute, in Minutes
Walk Score’s independent measurement puts this exact address at 96 out of 100 for walking, 100 out of 100 for transit, and 94 out of 100 for biking, all top-tier scores, according to Walk Score. The 22nd Street Trolley Station is a four-minute walk, and multiple SEPTA rail and bus lines sit within 0.1 to 0.3 miles.
Multiple VeryApt reviewers independently report 15 to 20 minute walks to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, 5 to 10 minute walks to Trader Joe’s and Giant, and roughly a 5-minute walk to Rittenhouse Square. A free morning shuttle to University City comes up across several reviews as a meaningful supplement to walking, not a replacement for it.
What Residents Consistently Praise
- 24-hour doorman and scan-in elevator access: named by multiple reviewers as the reason they feel safe living alone.
- Free University City shuttle: several reviewers say it gets them to HUP or CHOP in about five minutes.
- Maintenance responsiveness: mentioned often enough across both VeryApt and ApartmentHomeLiving reviews to read as a real pattern, not one good experience.
What Residents Consistently Flag
The building has three elevators, and one is described as down for extended periods by several independently dated reviewers on VeryApt between late 2025 and early 2026. A separate, unrelated review on ApartmentHomeLiving puts a number on it directly: of three elevators serving roughly 30 floors, two were down at the time of that review, with waits sometimes exceeding ten minutes.
Beyond the elevators, two other frictions come up repeatedly: no central air conditioning, with some reviewers describing difficulty maintaining a comfortable bedroom temperature, and hot water that runs out during longer showers. Neither complaint is universal, but both appear across multiple, differently dated reviews.
Which side of the building is quietest? Reviewers describe east-facing units, which look toward Center City, as picking up street noise from Chestnut and 24th, while west-facing units, which face 30th Street Station and the Schuylkill River, catch freight-train noise that one reviewer said offset the river view entirely. This is reviewer-reported, not a building-verified specification, so ask to see or hear from a specific facing before signing.
Parking and Getting Around Without a Car
On-site garage parking runs $195 a month, well under Philadelphia’s citywide monthly average of roughly $275, according to SpotHero’s Philadelphia parking data.
| Option | Distance | Price |
|---|---|---|
| On-site garage (2400 Chestnut) | In building | $195/month |
| Philadelphia citywide average | Varies | ~$275/month |
| Cheapest listed citywide monthly rate | Love Park Garage, 1500 Arch St | $130/month |
The on-site rate beats the citywide average by roughly $80 a month, though it isn’t the cheapest option in the city; Love Park Garage, about 1.3 miles away in Center City, lists the lowest monthly rate SpotHero tracks citywide. Neighborhood-specific monthly quotes from garages immediately around Fitler Square weren’t available as live monthly listings at the time of writing, since ParkWhiz returned only hourly-session pricing for nearby lots, so check current monthly rates directly if a specific nearby garage matters to your decision.
Given the Walk Score of 96 and Transit Score of 100, several reviewers describe going without a car entirely despite having garage access, relying instead on walking, the free shuttle, and the adjacent trolley and regional-rail lines.
Is a car necessary here? Not based on the transit and walk data or the reviewer pattern: multiple residents report skipping a car entirely. It becomes more useful if your routine regularly takes you outside Center City or University City, where the shuttle and trolley lines don’t reach.
Why the Ratings Differ Across Platforms
| Platform | Review count | Score | Scale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apartments.com | 0 posted currently | not displayed | 5-star |
| VeryApt | 305 | 8.7 | out of 10 |
| ApartmentRatings | 89 | not publicly displayed | not disclosed |
The Apartments.com listing itself shows zero renter reviews today, a change from a smaller posted sample seen earlier in 2026, which means the platform most people check first for pricing offers no resident sentiment at all right now. VeryApt’s 305 reviews come from named, dated reviewers with per-review sub-scores, the deepest and most traceable sample of the three. ApartmentRatings holds a smaller, differently sourced pool of 89 reviews without a visible aggregate score in what’s publicly accessible. None of the three samples fully overlaps with the others, so a single number from any one platform undersells how much resident opinion exists for this building.
Why do the ratings look so different across review platforms? Different sample sizes and different review-collection methods. VeryApt’s 305 reviews come from named, dated residents; ApartmentRatings’ 89 span a longer, less structured history; Apartments.com shows none right now. Weight VeryApt’s sample most heavily for depth, and don’t assume a missing review count on one platform means nobody has an opinion.
Before You Apply
Pets: no dogs, up to two cats, and both must be registered with the leasing office, per the official property site. On income qualification, the Apartments.com FAQ applies a generic 30%-of-income rule to the lowest listed rent rather than this property’s actual screening criteria; that math isn’t published anywhere checked for this article, so confirm credit minimums and any student guarantor policy directly with the leasing office before applying.
