Philadelphia Neighborhoods - Center
City Real Estate
The Center City area of Philadelphia is the area where most suburban
residents work, and where most tourists visit. It is home to most of
the large businesses in the city. Center City also contains many of
the most historic areas of the city, including Independence National
Park, home to Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. It is also the
home to the Pennsylvania Convention Center and most major hotels, as
well as the seat of Philadelphia's government, City Hall. Center City
is Philadelphia's business district and as the skyscrapers attest, is
the home to numerous banks, law firms and other places of commerce.
The Pennsylvania Convention Center and the Reading Terminal Market are
both located here. This area consists of such areas as Center City East
and West, Chinatown, the Delaware Riverfront, Franklin-Callowhill, Olde
City, Rittenhouse Square, Society Hill and Washington Square. This area
of the city is not highly populated. Those who live here are predominantly
white and most live in high rise apartment buildings or in expensive
townhouses in the Society Hill area.
