The Knickerbocker team worked for 18 months designing, planning, and, ultimately, transforming this vintage industrial classic into twenty, state-of-the-art, chic, New York City loft-style, apartments. The Monarch is surrounded by Powelton Village's trademark mix of stately houses, and quirky, colorful businesses.
Each apartment features stylish exposed brick, attractive and warm hardwood floors, fully-featured kitchens with plenty of quartz countertop space and complete stainless steel appliance packages, thoughtfully designed high-efficiency LED lighting, and designer tile bathrooms with oversized walk-in showers. Every unit comes complete with its own in-unit laundry, brand new central air/heating system, and Easy Track organizing systems in every closet for increased effectiveness and storage! Landlord pays for water, sewage, recycling, and trash.
The Monarch also boasts a large bike room, fob-swipe access, a cozy tenant lounge, and a large roof deck with breathtaking views of the city skyline.
The Knickerbocker team has been honored with both the University City Historical Society's top award for renovation and preservation as well as the Pennsylvania Apartment Association's Platinum Award for outstanding buildings. Knickerbocker Properties has been serving Philadelphia renters since before leg warmers, cassette tapes, and Ferris Bueller had his day off. We are full-time managers and boast about our own 24/7 maintenance staff. Call or text us anytime to arrange a visit!
Knickerbocker Properties is an equal opportunity housing provider and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, disability, or familial status in the rental of housing.
