Knickerbocker's Benjamin Franklin Court sits at the crest of the Baltimore Avenue Hill by Clark Park and comfortably within the restaurant/coffee heart of Spruce Hill. Always a Penn Medicine/Penn Vet/CHOP/Penn Dental favorite because of its proximity, our tenants enjoy this spectacular neighborhood, its boutique restaurants, tree lined cover, and super relaxed atmosphere.
We include complimentary 1-gig Xfiniti WiFi as well as pay for your water/sewer/trash and recycle.
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.
The Knickerbocker team prides itself in our completeness, thoroughness, and customer service and are proud to be members and supporters of The University City District, The Pennsylvania Apartment Association, The National Apartment Association and Off-Campus Partners with Penn, Drexel, and the University of the Sciences.
