Adjacent to Fitler Square and Rittenhouse Square neighborhoods to the North and Point Breeze to the South getting around Southwest Center City is a breeze.

Neighborhood Feel

Busy streets, local shops and stately row homes encompass the vibe of Southwest Center City. With homes averaging 34 days on the market, and selling for an average of $660K, this Philly neighborhood is perfect for first time home owners looking to settle down in the city.

Our Favorite Restaurants

A Mexican restaurant that serves dozens of different kind of Tequilas, and a menu of traditional Mexican fare, Los Camaradas is an absolute must try in Southwest Center City. Other area favorites include The Sidecar Bar and Grille, and The Igloo.

Arts and Culture

Home to a beautiful collection of fine are pieces, Twenty-Two Gallery is one of our favorites in Philadelphia. A local organization, Art Sanctuary, offers educational programs to celebrate the power of Black art, and has a spacious gallery available for private events. Because Southwest Center City is so conveniently located, it is incredibly easy for residents to visit the Franklin Institute or the Philadelphia Museum of Art as well!

Local Parks

The Schuylkill River Park, a staple of outdoor time for many Philadelphians, is incredibly versatile! With running and biking paths, and plenty of green space, this park is the perfect place to relax with friends and family. Close to the Schuylkill River Park, the Markward Playground is super kid-friendly, and, just South of Washington Avenue, Chew Playground is another family-friendly afternoon destination for local children!
