Old City is where Philadelphia's history and its most walkable urban lifestyle collide. The neighborhood sits along the Delaware waterfront between Front and 6th Streets, putting residents steps from Independence Hall, Penn's Landing, and one of the city's most eclectic collections of galleries, restaurants, and boutique retail. For buyers, Old City offers something rare in Philadelphia: a genuine mixed-use urban experience with a tight-knit residential community underneath the tourist activity. The housing stock skews toward condos and converted loft spaces in historic buildings, which appeals to downsizers, empty-nesters, and buyers relocating from larger cities who want a walkable, lock-and-leave lifestyle. First Friday gallery openings and proximity to the waterfront make this a neighborhood that earns its price premium.
5,354 people live in Old City, where the median age is 26 and the average individual income is $65,706. Data provided by the U.S. Census Bureau.
