Once the epicenter of the commercial shad fishing industry, Fishtown is now a creative hub for artistic, culinary, and musical action in Philadelphia. Beer gardens, independent coffee shops, diverse restaurants, eclectic bars, vibrant murals, and live music abound in Fishtown.
Renting in Fishtown affords residents the option to catch a concert at the Fillmore Philadelphia, play classic video games at Barcade, and drink artisanal coffee at La Colombe Coffee Roasters. Palmer Park and Penn Treaty Park also offer a lush reprieve from city life in the neighborhood.
Fishtown manages to feel far removed from the hustle and bustle of Center City, despite being less than a ten-minute ride away via the El. Convenience to I-95 connects Fishtown to destinations like New Jersey, New York, Baltimore, and Washington D.C. in less than a two-hour drive.

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.

Property Ratings at The Paper Factory
Gorgeous place and nice appliances but can hear my neighbors next door AND upstairs neighbors and downstairs neighbors despite the high ceilings.
The owner of the building treats you like a peasant. I’ve been personally insulted by him many of times while living at the Paper Factory… It’s also odd how unprofessional he is… Also.. ROACHES. I’ve seen them too many times to count. This space is also extremely loud. You can hear quite literally everything that goes on in the building. A lot of tenants like to have parties too, so good luck sleeping.
