Rittenhouse Square
Walk Score: 98 out of 100, Walker's Paradise
The Deal:
Multi-million dollar Mansions to small Trinities (1 room per floor), opulent pre-war-brand new sky scraping condominium high-rises. This is the high-rent district.
The Feel:
Chic & Sleek filled with both the upwardly mobile and those who made it like the ladies who lunch
The Rittenhouse Square neighborhood (17th-21st, Lombard St-Walnut St) has been famous world-wide for decades as the address of choice for high brow Philadelphians and illustrates the elegance, wealth, and culture of Philadelphia. The gorgeous Rittenhouse Square is one of the five original open-space parks/squares planned by William Penn. Today, the tree-filled park is surrounded by high rise residences, luxury apartments, Walnut Street Boutiques, that rival San Francisco's Union Square, and high-end hotels including the five-star, Rittenhouse Hotel. In addition, it features sleek sidewalk cafes, including Rouge, Devon and most recently Parc. It is the place to see and be seen and if there is a movie star filming in town it is pretty much guaranteed they will be making a stop at one of those restaurants.
