Historic streets. Timeless Philadelphia.
Society Hill offers one of Philadelphia’s most distinctive combinations of history and everyday city life. Cobblestone streets, leafy blocks, brick rowhouses, hidden courtyards, neighborhood restaurants, and centuries-old architecture create a setting that feels residential and peaceful while keeping Old City, South Street, and the Delaware River within easy reach.
WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT
Historic Architecture
Society Hill is known for its remarkable collection of 18th- and early-19th-century buildings. Georgian and Federal-style rowhouses, narrow streets, historic homes, and later modern additions give the neighborhood a layered architectural character that feels unmistakably Philadelphia.
Parks & Green Space
Washington Square, the Rose Garden, Three Bears Park, neighborhood courtyards, and tree-lined streets give Society Hill plenty of places to slow down. The area’s smaller parks and hidden green spaces are part of what makes walking the neighborhood feel so inviting.
​
Location
Society Hill puts you between Old City, South Street, and the Delaware River waterfront. Historic attractions, restaurants, Headhouse Square, Penn’s Landing, and Center City destinations are all close by, making the neighborhood easy to explore on foot.

Centuries of Philadelphia on One Block.
Society Hill contains one of the nation’s largest concentrations of 18th- and early-19th-century buildings. Its streets reflect generations of Philadelphia history, from Colonial-era rowhouses and the homes of prominent early residents to the major preservation and redevelopment efforts of the 20th century that helped protect the neighborhood’s historic character.

APM Recommends: Bistro Romano
Tucked into an 18th-century granary on Lombard Street, Bistro Romano feels right at home in Society Hill. Stone walls, candlelight, Italian cooking, house-made pastas, and an intimate setting have made it a neighborhood fixture for decades.
