Society Hill is one of Philadelphia’s most historic residential neighborhoods, located between Washington Square and the Delaware River. Carefully preserved 18th- and 19th-century rowhouses, brick sidewalks, cobblestone streets, courtyards, and newer residential buildings create a distinctive streetscape immediately adjacent to the historic district.

Washington Square, Independence Hall, and numerous colonial-era landmarks are within walking distance, while Head House Square and South Street provide restaurants, shops, and community activity. The Delaware River waterfront and Old City are nearby, and SEPTA transit provides connections throughout Center City and the rest of Philadelphia.
