Located just four miles southwest of Center City Philadelphia, Kingsessing is a culture-rich neighborhood with roots dating back to 1676. Renting an apartment here gives residents convenient access to the rest of the city's many amenities via public transit or Interstate 676.
Culture and history lovers find that Kingsessing offers plenty of both. The Free Library of Philadelphia on nearby South 51st Street offers free media, books, and classes, while Theodore Presser Music Store on Chestnut Street features stacks of vinyl records to discover on a weeknight after work. Browse Wexler Gallery on 3rd Street for the perfect print to hang in your rental.
Every Friday night brings a new performance at Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts in nearby Center City. Closer to home, Bartram's Garden offers a fascinating glimpse into the early 1700s through its historic gardens along the Schuylkill River.
