About Mason on Chestnut
***Under Renovation until further notice*** The Mason is in the heart of University City, just a couple of blocks from the University of Pennsylvania campus and within easy reach of downtown Philadelphia. This brand new building with luxury amenities ensures residents experience all the positives of college living without the drawbacks. This cozy room is situated in a prime student housing location, where you'll get to enjoy the added privacy of sharing a bathroom with just one other person. Check out our 3D Tours or contact us to tour our building virtually. International Students welcomed! We make moving here easy! Our yoga room, hardwood indoor basketball court and 24-hour fitness areas have everything you need to stay fit. With multiple private study rooms, state-of-the-art conference rooms, various lounges and living areas and high-speed internet throughout the entire building, you’ll never be without a place to study and get work done. When it’s time to relax, you’ll find an outdoor lounge and patio area, a recreational room with pool tables and ping pong, and plenty of room to just hang out and get to know your fellow residents. When you look back on your student living experience, it should be full of incredible memories, not all those times you experienced FOMO while stuck in your lackluster dorm room. That’s why we built a community of apartments on Chestnut Street near UPenn and Drexel University that deliver more ways to enjoy every day of your college experience. And you don’t have to pay an arm and a leg to get it.
Mason on Chestnut is located in the University City Neighborhood and 19104 Zip code of Philadelphia, PA.
