According to an article on Philly.com by Al Heavens about the Philadelphia Condo Market, Cliff Lee of the Philadelphia Phillies settled on a condo in Center City at 1706 Rittenhouse in Rittenhouse Square.

1706 Rittenhouse is a brand new building, which opened last May, and is considered by many to be the most exclusive residence in all of Center City. The gem of Rittenhouse Square with 29 full floor units; virtually column free space, floor to ceiling windows open to expansive views, 10 to 20 ft. ceilings, two terraces for each unit and the top of the line finishes make this the most desirable address in Philadelphia. Each unit has over 4100 square feet of customizable space. Common amenities include state of the art fitness center with sauna, massage rooms, endless pool, private boardroom and garden. Architecture was done by Cope Linder and Interior Designs are by Karen Daroff of Daroff Design, two of Philadelphia’s best. Included in each unit price is an on-site parking space in the fully automated, state of the art, underground garage.

“It feels great to land back here in Philadelphia. . . . Here I am, I never wanted to leave this place in the first place… It’s exciting. It’s a historic town. I didn’t realize until I got here how interesting the city is.  My family really liked it.” -Cliff Lee philly.com

It’s great to see Philly athletes moving into Center City and calling Philadelphia home rather than moving out to the suburbs or over the river to Jersey.  That says a lot about how great a place it is to live.  Phillies’ second basemen Chase Utley and Eagles’ quarterback Michael Vick both own condos in town as well.  Other Phillies such as Jimmy Rollins, Cole Hamels, and Ryan Howard are often dining at the fine establishments in Rittenhouse Square.
