In true Philly style, one name is not enough, this neighborhood also can be referred to as Southwest Center City, South of South and G-HO. No matter the name it is best known for it’s vibrant food scene, easy access to public transit, and just a quick walk to Rittenhouse and Fitler Square.
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.
