October 21, 2025I’ve enjoyed living here. I really appreciate the price considering the units come furnished and include utilities. I wish some residents were more aware of their surroundings and threw trash into the appropriate chute, rather than the floor.Property Manager Responded
October 23, 2025We're glad to hear we delivered such a good experience thus far. We have signage on each floor for the each trash room. However we will send out a mass email to the entire community to inform them on proper trash disposal. Thank you for bringing to our attention. Have a wonderful day!

October 15, 2025Somehow some residents keep leaving their garbage in the trash room without pushing it down the chute. I hope the building administration can do something about it, informing all residents of the proper way to dispose of garbage theirProperty Manager Responded

September 16, 2025The apartment when handed was in an okay condition but the move-in date was 16th (more than half of the month had passed) yet they took the full-month rent for 15 days. Reception area isn't as helpful since they are there to just monitor entry and exit. Was initially very difficult to locate parcels and I have lost 1-2 of them! The apartment was okay-ishly cleaned had to do a deep-clean on the first day. My stove didn't work for a month! and only GE could've fixed it and they took a month! The ...amenities are nice in the complex but the rent is quite high seeing the quality of maintenance (1 guy for such a huge complex!) Otherwise, the location is nice and safe, surrounded by students.Property Manager Responded

My advice: Do not move into Accolade on Chestnut.
September 8, 2025I moved into Accolade on Chestnut in August 2025, and it has been one of the worst housing experiences of my life. If you are a student or anyone who needs a peaceful place to live, please read this before signing a lease. From the very first night, I discovered that the building next door has 24-hour construction—bright lights on all night, constant noise, and heavy machinery that makes it literally impossible to sleep. On top of that, the Hilton hotel below starts blasting loud noise every ...evening around 8 p.m. Imagine trying to study or get any rest with this going on day after day. When I raised this issue with management, their response was dismissive. They kept saying there are no alternative rooms available and that “outside construction is not their responsibility.” Basically, they admit there’s a huge problem but refuse to take any accountability. Their only so-called “solution” was telling me to sublet my unit. I tried that—I posted in multiple Penn student WeChat groups and even on Xiaohongshu. Absolutely no one was interested, because word is already out that this place is unbearable. So here I am: trapped in a lease I cannot escape, paying thousands of dollars for an apartment where I cannot sleep, cannot study, and cannot live a normal life. Management shows no compassion and hides behind technicalities. This is not just about inconvenience—it is about basic livable conditions. A place that advertises itself to students but ignores 24-hour construction noise and refuses to work with tenants is unacceptable. My advice: Do not move into Accolade on Chestnut. Save yourself the stress, the money, and the sleepless nights.Property Manager Responded
September 15, 2025We would like the opportunity to address your concerns. Please reach out to us directly at (267) 800-7366 when you have a chance. Thank you, and we look forward to hearing from you.

August 20, 2025Very helpful service with move-in and fixing key fob issues. Unclear what the security service is around the building during night time. Common areas are very clean and nice.Property Manager Responded
August 25, 2025Hi, we are so pleased you enjoyed your visit to The Accolade on Chestnut! In regards to security, there are often times when they have to do rounds around the property. If they are not at the desk then that just means they are walking the property to make sure everything is good.

August 19, 2025On my move in day, my roommate had let her friend stay overnight in my room. I told the property staff about it and he just told the friend to leave.. No consequence, no warning. SO gross to move in when someone was just sleeping there the morning-of and the place wasn't even cleaned. Secondly, PLEASE fix the package system. I understand that the building is transitioning to the ParcelPending system, but there HAS to be a workable temporary solution in the meantime. Especially during move in ...week when so many packages are coming in. AT THE VERY LEAST, someone should sort the packages in the mailing/project room by floor. It is absolutely ridiculous to make the entire building's residents search through ALL the packages in both the parcel and project room. Package stealing is bound to happen as well. USPS lady said the same thing. PLEASE create a workable temporary system NOW and don't wait for Parcel Pending to be set up.Property Manager Responded
August 25, 2025We are disappointed to hear that you did not have a more positive experience with us at The Accolade on Chestnut. Please reach out to the community manager at theaccoladeocmgr@greystar.com. He would love to speak with you regarding your roommate situation. Also we are currently working on resolving the package room as we are in a transitioning stage. It shouldn't be much longer until the new system is ready to go. We are working on implementing a temporary plan. We appreciate you for your patience and we wish you a good day.

July 25, 2025I’ve noticed some really positive changes in the community recently, and it genuinely makes me happy. Things are gradually getting better—from cleaner shared spaces to quicker responses from management. One thing I’m especially glad about is the installation of package lockers to help prevent stolen deliveries. It’s reassuring to see that our concerns are being heard and addressed. Looking forward to seeing continued improvements!Property Manager Responded
