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.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
