Discover Rittenhouse Square Real Estate

Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia is one of five original open-space parks that were created during the late 17th century. The park was planned by both William Penn and Thomas Holme, and its boundaries stretch for approximately two short blocks on either side, between Walnut Street to the north, Rittenhouse Square South, and Rittenhouse Square West.

Although it was originally named Southwest Square, in 1825 the park was renamed Rittenhouse Square after David Rittenhouse who was a descendant of the first Philadelphian paper-maker, William Rittenhouse.
