Stay up to date on the Society Hill market
Society Hill is located in the Center City section of Philadelphia. It is loosely defined by the boundaries of Front, Walnut, Lombard, and 8th Streets and is home to the largest concentration of 18th and early 19th century residential construction in the United States.
By the 1940s the city had expanded and lost much of its original appeal. Nevertheless, in the 1950s the federal and state governments undertook one of the very first urban renewal programs whereby any historically-significant homes were restored and the neighborhood in general was tidied up. Society Hill Historic District is now listed on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places as well as the National Register of Historic Places.
Getting Around Society Hill
Similar to the other neighborhoods within Center City, Philadelphia, Society Hill encourages pedestrianism and the use of bicycles around the streets and parkways. Interstate 95 lies just to the east of Society Hill and connects the neighborhood to Delaware in the north and a number of suburbs throughout Pennsylvania.
