Please check with individual merchants for the most up-to-date information. There has been a food market on our ground floor since 1963. In 1987, Mr. Chin Kim became proprietor of The Market at Hopkinson House. Mr. Kim and his family members operate this full-service food market (deli, sandwiches, salads, hot beverages, produce, groceries, dairy products).
Our management team consists of a General Manager, Assistant Manager, and an Executive Assistant who are knowledgeable about the property in all its varied aspects. Together they conduct the routine business of the Association and Council and are responsible for the delivery of management services to the Association.

Rented an apartment from one of the condo owners, Kirk Waechter, who refused to return my security deposit. Spoke to a lawyer and would have filed a claim, but flying back to Philadelphia didn’t seem to be worth the $. Never had that issue before. Otherwise the staff are professional and common areas including the laundry room are clean. Move in/out fees and garage are expensive, but comparable to other buildings in Philadelphia.
TL;DR don’t rent here.

One of the best managed buildings in town- great location, rental parking in basement. A solid investment. I have owned in the building, but never lived here. As a condo Realtor, I can tell you that Hop House is like the Toyota of Center City condos- well run, good resale and pool on the roof doesn't hurt either. IF you can find a unit for sale- buy it :-)
