Rittenhouse

One of Philly’s tonier neighborhoods and a home to families and young studio dwellers alike. At the center is Rittenhouse Square, the park where locals sit year-round to people-watch, break for lunch, or play with their children. There is plenty of shopping to be done on Walnut Street, with both large retailers and independent boutiques in the mix.
