About this Neighborhood

Fitler Square takes its name from a small but beloved half-acre park in southwest Center City, west of Rittenhouse and hard against the Schuylkill River. With a near-flawless 97 Walk Score, no mapped flood risk, and a moderate median rent around $2,134, it's one of Philadelphia's most livable central pockets, and the batch's top vibe score at 59. The density here is remarkable: 61 restaurants, 20 coffee shops, and 10 grocers pack the compact grid. Eleven parks and a hiking trail fold in green, while the Foursquare mix — delis, pizzerias, cafés, and a comedy club — gives the neighborhood its friendly, everyday texture.
