Welcome to Residence 2008 at The Packard Grande, a bright, stylish one-bedroom in the heart of Center City that's made for people who'd rather collect reservations than lawn equipment.
Start the morning with a cruise around the corner to grab your favorite coffee, take your pick of cafes. Walk to work (or don't). Meet friends for happy hour, catch a show, linger over dinner, and stroll home under the city lights. This is the kind of place that makes spontaneous plans easy.
Twenty floors above it all, the condo is filled with natural light thanks to oversized windows and 9-foot ceilings. The open layout lives larger than its 741 square feet, while hardwood floors, brand-new stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and built-in Sonos speakers make it just as ready for a cozy night in as it does for having friends stop by before a night out.
The Packard Grande keeps life simple with 24-hour concierge service, a fitness center equipped with Peloton bikes, meeting room and rooftop indoor and outdoor gathering spaces with sweeping skyline views. And when you're ready to explore, you're already there: steps from Rittenhouse Square, Midtown Village, the Avenue of the Arts, Reading Terminal Market, and some of Philadelphia's best restaurants, shopping, and nightlife. Big city. Low maintenance. Great soundtrack. That's a pretty good way to live; just bring your things and slide right into your new city digs.
Fitler Square is located along the Schuylkill River in the Southwest corner of Center City. The quiet family-friendly neighborhood is just as prestigious (and priced as so) as neighboring Rittenhouse but not as busy. Small cafes and restaurants cater to the mostly residential area. Old world charm is found throughout the area’s grand 19th and 20th-century townhomes.
Greater Philadelphia is getting noticed as a destination for empty nesters and retirees.

Here are three options that may be considered when looking at Philadelphia as an option if you are approaching retirement age.

Looking just one neighborhood over ( even a few blocks!) can sometimes mean noticeably lower taxes and a more comfortable payment, without giving up the lifestyle that drew you to the area in the first place. Here are some of our favorite “neighborhoods next door” (or at least nearby) that we encourage our clients not to miss out on.

Rittenhouse Square is one of the original five, open-space parks planned by William Penn and Thomas Holme back in the late 17th Century. Today the park is filled with people whose families’ have for generations been denizens of the neighborhood, young families and students from nearby University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University enjoying every bench and lawn-space.
