7900 Old York Rd

Elkins Park House is a mid-century, full-service condominium building completed in 1957. Rising nine stories, the property contains a mix of studios and one- to three-bedroom residences that range from traditional layouts to renovated open plans. Interiors commonly feature wood and carpeted floors, built-ins, crown moldings, recessed lighting, varied kitchen types (from galley to gourmet), multiple bathroom configurations including walk-in showers and whirlpool tubs, and conveniences such as in-unit laundry in some homes. Units open onto private balconies or large picture windows that capture treetop and skyline views. Public corridors and elevator access are key elements of the building’s circulation, supported by key-fob elevators, intercoms, and staffed security at the main entrance. The building’s amenity set reads like a self-contained community: an on-site restaurant and retail services, a fitness room, swimming pool and extensive patio/hardscape, tennis courts, laundry rooms on each floor, and a staffed management office. Exterior features include landscaped grounds, sidewalks, exterior lighting, and on-site parking with optional garage spaces. Maintenance responsibilities covered by condo fees typically include heat, hot water, gas, exterior upkeep, trash and snow removal, and building insurance; residents commonly pay electric and cable separately. Pet policies and specific service offerings are managed by on-site staff and association rules. Located on Old York Road in Elkins Park, the property sits within short walking distance of SEPTA bus routes and the regional rail station, plus neighborhood parks, shopping, and cultural landmarks such as High School Park and the Elkins Estate. The combination of full-service amenities, on-site commercial conveniences, and commuter-friendly transit links supports a low-maintenance, community-focused lifestyle within a mature suburban neighborhood just outside Philadelphia.
