Great view, lots of sunlight

Society Hill Towers consists of three connected buildings. Has an underground garage. The property is well managed. The location feels really safe. It's located within walking distance of a lot of good restaurants and each unit has a beautiful view. Utilities are also included.

Best Apartment building ever

I absolutely love my apartment. The staff and management are so nice. I recommend living here to everyone I speak with. There is a gym, a pool and covered parking garage. The 1 bedroom apartment offers beautiful views of the city and tons of closet/storage space. I never want to move out. I love it here.

Great Place for Young Professionals

The Society Hill Towers are a great place. I recently just graduated college and started working in the area, so the location is fantastic. Its around a lot of bars and restaurants. I love that the atmosphere in the building, the people are very social and welcoming. The price is a little steep, but that what you get for the area and amenities.

Beautiful neighborhood

I have loved living in the towers these past few years. And since moving in, Allan has really been very receptive to all repairs that have been needed. Great wall of windows facing the city to the west, friendly front desk staff, and easy access to the rest of the city all make this a great place to be!

Very nice, neighbors are sweet, good food nearby, grocery stores very accessible. Lots of dogs, a couple of nice parks.
Reviewed by Philadelphia Resident living at AbbottSquare
Only option is for transportation is buses as the subway is a bit of a hike. Quaint, historic, brick rowhomes. Very safe area with a lot of character and charm.

Society Hill is a great area. You are surrounded by historical buildings and you are also surrounded by LOTS OF BARS. It can't get much better!
Reviewed by PAFA Student living at 528 S 5th st
It’s beautiful, there’s lots of trees and shops nearby. Washington square and independence hall are super close and overall it’s great. I don’t hear a lot of commotion from my place which is nice, and there’s lots of good restaurants!
Reviewed by Penn Resident living at Abbotts Square Condominiums
Living in Society Hill is the quintessential Philadelphia living experience. Every day, I am surrounded by historic row homes, brick sidewalks and quaint cobblestone alleys, and shaded, tree-lined streets. I am within walking distance to some of the city's best restaurants, including a number of cuisines from throughout the world, craft beers, gastropubs, and more. The area manages to strike to the perfect balance between being quiet and family-friendly, but also fun and lively with plenty of great bars and night-life. It's perfectly situated along numerous public transport routes, which allows for a quick commute to work in the mornings. How amazing is it that I get to walk by Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell on my way to the train each morning?!

Quaint neighborhood close to bars/restaurants but also feels more residential. Enjoy having a little space from the HUP campus to feel at home when I am home
Reviewed by Working Professional living at 107 Lombard Street
Quiet neighborhood filled with working professionals and families, very safe to walk around, and variety of night life available close-by
