Apartment Reviews for Chancellor - Philadelphia

The Chancellor offers studio and 1 bedroom apartments with heat and hot water included. There is controlled entry access with a 24 hour desk person and on-site laundry facilities. Hardwood floors, high ceilings, ceramic baths, large windows are included in apartment features. Downtown living provides a high level of convenience with so much available in walking distance or via quick trip public transit. Like many downtown locations parking is at a premium.

This place isn't bad, and the maintenance people and front desk people are very friendly. I had a problem with one of my appliances shortly after moving in, and they took care of it quickly and professionally. I also feel safe in the building, since it is monitored all the time, by cameras and front desk people.

The main problem with this building is the noise. There are a lot of students living here, and students like to make lots of noise. I often work at home, and this was a major problem for me. One of the apartments adjacent to mine eminated bass so powerful that it would shake my fixtures.

There were some minor problems: the elevators broke down regularly, the water was shut off all day a couple times (usually I was at work though), and there are a lot of weirdos that hang around this neighborhood. None of these bothered me that much, and are about on par with other Philadelphia buildings I am familiar with.

If it wasn't for the noise problem, I think this would be a great place to live.
