Welcome to Society Hill

Society Hill is one of Philadelphia’s most sought-after neighborhoods. While mostly residential, the community also includes a comfortable combination of restaurants, historic attractions and shops that meet the needs of residents and visitors alike. This upscale residential area of cobblestone streets and 18th- and early 19th-century homes is a short walk from Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. Picturesque Washington Square has tree-lined paths and green spaces. On Sundays, Headhouse Square draw locals and visitors to the city's oldest farmers market (May–Dec). Hip crowds head to Dock Street for its posh restaurants and buzzy bars.
