Neighborhood

Washington Square West is the place to be in Philadelphia! The community is just south of Independence Mall, where the signing of the U.S. Constitution took place and the home of the Liberty Bell.

Washington Square West’s square is one of five original public squares in the city. It’s a major tourist attraction, as it contains a memorial of George Washington and the Unknown Soldiers of the American Revolution. Washington Square West is adored by many because of its safe and secure streets, as well as friendly atmosphere. Jeweler Row and Antique Row are wonderful places to shop, as well as its many other small businesses.

Because of Jefferson Station, residents can commute with ease to nearby neighborhoods and the international airport. There are many restaurants and cafes here, including Talula’s Garden and Green Eggs Café. You’ll discover many historical landmarks and the Walnut Street Theatre, minutes from your Washington Square West apartment.
