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.

Property Ratings at The Mercantile Apartments
This is the first time I'm living by myself. 1 Bedroom, in unit washer and dryer, high speed internet and washing machine. This apartment has beautiful hard wood floors and a view of the ben franklin bridge that is hard to beat. The neighborhood is the best! From resturants, to being right next to the subway, to Franklin Fountain (bad for the waistline), to all the events at Penns Landing, the location is the main selling point.
