This primarily residential neighborhood is located in the southwestern part of Center City. It’s experienced a tremendous amount of development in recent years, and isn’t really showing signs of slowing down. On its western edge is Naval Square, a large gated community that includes a residential reuse of the historic Naval Asylum. And to the north is the burgeoning South Street West commercial corridor, with plenty of shops to frequent, restaurants to sample, and bars to enjoy. Just minutes from the vibrant Avenue of the Arts and just a few minutes from University City and the campuses of Drexel University and the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) — all accessible by bike, bus or car. Also, just a stone’s throw away are both the University Hospital of Pennsylvania and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
