Philadelphia's quaint Old City neighborhood has been called "America's most historic square mile". And for good reason.

The area is home to the nation's most sacred shrines and symbols—Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, the Betsy Ross House, the historic homes of Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, important museums and cultural attractions. And the recent redevelopment of Independence Park, with the extraordinary new Constitution Center and the Visitor's Center, has helped to redefine historic Old City as a world-class tourist destination. The narrow cobblestone streets and other preserved details of the district—hidden courtyards, chimney pots, brass door knockers, wrought iron foot scarpers, carriage hitching posts—all recall life in 18th and 19th century America.

Take a walk around Old City today and you'll find an amazing contrast between the old and the new. Many colonial and federal-style architectural relics have been reborn with contemporary shops, galleries, restaurants, cafes, community theaters and essential services. And Historic Landmarks for Living was the first developer to restore several structures and give them new life as first-class residential buildings.

Living in Old City places you within walking distance of the quaint, upscale residential area called Society Hill, plus you're practically down the street from the emerging Market Street East shopping district and the Penn's Landing waterfront and entertainment venues dotting Delaware Avenue. The funky scene on South Street is not far, and the center city resurgence that is taking place on and around Broad Street, now renamed "Avenue of the Arts" and a lively thorofare mixing business and entertainment, is also close by. As an added convenience, major highways, the Ben Franklin Bridge, parking and all forms of public transportation are right outside your door.

With all the great things going on around Old City, it's no wonder this is the hottest spot in town. If you want to make a new start and enjoy all that is exciting about city living, Waterfront I and Old City is the place to be!
