Why they chose this property
The neighborhood offers a genuine Philadelphia experience, full of energy, character, and local culture. It’s a place where long-standing businesses, neighborhood spots, and everyday city life intersect, creating an environment that feels real and lived-in rather than staged. You’ll see people going about their day, local shops opening in the morning, and the rhythm of an active business corridor that reflects the city’s working spirit.
What we enjoy most is watching the area continue to grow and evolve. New businesses and renovations are steadily emerging alongside the neighborhood’s historic roots, giving it a sense of momentum and possibility. Its central location makes it easy to reach universities, hospitals, parks, and major attractions, while still offering a grounded, authentic atmosphere that many guests appreciate as a true snapshot of Philadelphia.
