Center City is downtown Philadelphia living — condos and rowhomes within walking distance of work, culture, and everything the city has to offer.
The vibe
A dense, walkable urban core made up of distinct pockets — Rittenhouse, Washington Square, Old City, and more — each with its own character, and all just steps from dining, museums, and parks.
