RETAIL NEIGHBORHOODS

"I love to wander around Philadelphia, down Walnut Street all the way down to the Delaware River...all those little streets, it’s almost like being back in England."

Square In Name Only
A community of stately row homes and modern condos that's also home to Midtown Village, a hub of chic dining and eclectic shops. Washington Square showcases a bustling theater district, America's second-largest concentration of jewelry stores, an 18th century aura around Independence Hall and the heart of Philadelphia's thriving gay culture.
