Head House Square

Society Hill

History is a welcomed backdrop to the posh ambience of Society Hill. This neighborhood is decorated in plenty of unique shops including the country’s oldest surviving marketplace, Headhouse Market. Neighbors and visitors alike herd for weekend farmer’s markets and festivals, creating a friendly atmosphere among the distinguished landscape of the neighborhood. Famous for having many of Philadelphia’s most coveted residential addresses, beautifully renovated Colonial homes exist in harmony with luxury high-rise buildings atop cobblestone streets.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it’s one of Philadelphia’s oldest and most historic neighborhoods, with the largest concentration of original 18th and early 19th century architecture in the United States. A close-knit community, waterfront views, public green spaces and antique touches make this area unlike any other.
