A rare opportunity! If you’re looking for a new concept in housing, there’s nothing like Elfreth’s Alley—America’s oldest and most historic street. It is the oldest continuously-inhabited residential street in the United States, with a history dating back to 1703. Here is a magnificently preserved streetscape that offers a glimpse into colonial American life with its 18th and 19th century rowhouses, cobblestone streets, and original brickwork. Today it serves as both a residential community and a historic site complete with a museum and its own association dedicated to its preservation. People have lived on this street for over 300 years, making it a unique time capsule. Many of the street’s buildings date from 1720 to 1836, and have been carefully restored to maintain the historic appearance. The Alley is still a thriving residential community, which is home to artists, educators, and entrepreneurs. And now it is possible to live on the Alley in this rarely available home! A beautifully restored gem from 1706, this is one of the first houses built on the Alley. It features a contemporary kitchen and original wood floors made from tall sailing ships. There is a backyard big enough to enjoy where you can throw a party for friends who come to help you celebrate your good fortune!

It's the birthplace of the United States. It's a World Heritage City, the first in the country. It's Philadelphia's Old City, and it isn't just for tourists. This terrific neighborhood still features cobblestone streets, and the landmarks are amazing: Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, Penn's Landing, the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, and the Betsy Ross House. Elfreth's Alley is the oldest residential street in the nation, dating back to 1702. The museums are also impressive: the Museum of the American Revolution, the National Museum of American Jewish History, the Benjamin Franklin Museum, and the Independence Seaport Museum.
But while you'll have endless destinations to take out-of-town visitors, living in Old City provides a wealth of charm, walkable streets, terrific shops and restaurants, and an outstanding farmer's market. The neighborhood is bicycle-friendly, and bicycle rentals are available at Indego stations.
