Nestled just southwest of the heart of Center City, Southwest Center City is a revitalized neighborhood strewn alongside the Schuylkill River. The neighborhood’s many alluring rentals include stylish lofts, modern apartments, and charming townhomes. Southwest Center City boasts excellent walkability, partly due to its layout and partly due to its ideal location.
The University of Pennsylvania, both a premier Ivy League institution and the area’s number one employer, lies just across the Schuylkill River from the neighborhood and is accessible within a 10-minute walk. Southwest Center City also sits within walking distance of SEPTA’s Ellsworth-Federal Station, which is served by the Broad Street Line. Major city attractions are just steps away as well, including Rittenhouse Square, the Kimmel Center, and Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens.
