One of the biggest perks of living here is how easy it is to get around without a car. Almost 30% of residents walk to work, and nearly 15% bike—that’s more than 99% of neighborhoods nationwide. With access to the Schuylkill River Trail, it’s no wonder. You can hop on your bike and be at the Art Museum, Drexel, or University City in no time. And with so many grocery stores, cafes, and restaurants nearby, errands are a breeze.

The median home price is over $1 million, making it one of the most expensive neighborhoods in Pennsylvania. Renters can expect to pay around $3,366 a month, well above the city average. But for folks who want the walkability of Center City with a quieter, more residential feel—it’s worth every penny.

If you’re looking for a neighborhood that blends sophistication with down-to-earth charm, Fitler Square might just be your next favorite spot in the city.

Fitler Square has a strong neighborhood identity. The actual square itself is a small, beautifully maintained park with benches, sculptures, and a fountain. It’s the kind of place where people say hi as they pass by, where kids play, and where dogs practically outnumber people on a sunny day. There are small businesses nearby, including cozy cafes and locally owned shops that make the area feel warm and personal.
