The Schuyler Apartments

IN THE HEART OF LOVELY, LEAFY POWELTON VILLAGE, Knickerbocker Properties presents it’s latest ground-up, new construction apartment building, The Schuyler. Stretching from Hamilton Street to Spring Garden and swathed in Powelton Village’s trademark... hip and unmistakable mix of stately houses, quirky, colorful businesses, and the epicenter of a community of academics, artists, creatives, and professionals, The Schuyler not only presents state of the art features, but perhaps the single largest 2-Bedroom/2-Bath & 3-Bedroom/3-Bath units in all of University City.

WE ARE PROUD THAT OUR POWELTON VILLAGE NEIGHBORHOOD is consistently rated as “Very Walkable” and a “Bicyclist’s Paradise” by walkscore. Even more comforting, we garnished an “A” on their property crime score. Both Drexel & Penn’s campuses rest just blocks away. With a surrounding community anchored by shops & restaurants, The Schuyler is nestled on the doorstep of University City life.

ON THE SURFACE IT’S EASY TO RECOGNIZE the stylish and warm hardwood floors, fully-featured kitchens with plenty of quartz countertop and complete stainless 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 every closet has an additional Easy Track organizing system for increased effectiveness and storage.

MORE IMPORTANTLY, beneath the surface, where University City is crowded with tired buildings struggling to barely meet minimum code, the peace of mind that comes with a high-tech fire sprinkler system, fire awareness system, and integrated multi-camera video security cannot be undervalued.

KNICKERBOCKER’S NEW CONSTRUCTION BUILDINGS stand-out in the marketplace because of their exceptional value. Traditionally, one has to go to one of the massive new projects [with their hefty prices] to achieve the same level of features, appointments, and life safety systems as Knickerbocker’s communities. When you shop and compare, at a fraction of the big buildings’ prices and built to be particularly energy efficient, you’ll find The Schuyer’s per bedroom/bathroom price an incomparable deal.

THE KNICKERBOCKER TEAM is the only Philadelphia area developer to have been honored with multiple University City Historical Society’s top award for renovation and historic preservation as well as the Pennsylvania Apartment Association’s Gold Award for outstanding apartment maintenance.

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IS JUST A STEP AWAY as The Schuyler sits abreast to Drexel U’s Powelton & Spring Garden Route, both Penn’s LUCY Gold and LUCY Green routes, and is blanketed as Penn’s Shuttle and Walking Escort Services pass right by our front door.

OUR VERY SPECIAL ADDRESS is surrounded by so many incredibly preserved examples of movements in Victorian architecture that it’s a designated historic district. Couple that with the fact that it’s just off the tucked away, revitalized Lancaster Avenue commercial corridor, minutes from Drexel University, Penn-Presbyterian Hospital, and The University of Pennsylvania, is super easily accessed by Public and University transportation, and the detail that there’s incredibly ample street parking on a particularly quiet street, and the Schuyler is a tough apartment option to pass up.
