Queen Village

 

 

Queen Village began as a working-class suburb of the city in the late 1700s, and it retains its charming appeal and low-key atmosphere to this day. Here, you'll find some of the oldest buildings in Philadelphia tucked along narrow streets under canopies of mature trees. Thanks to a renaissance that began in the 1970s, historic homes have been beautifully restored and joined by newer homes and businesses. Enjoy more than 400 shops and restaurants in the popular South Street-HeadHouse District in Queen Village's northern reaches, or visit 4th Street's Fabric Row, the city's garment district for more than a century. And don't miss the iconic cheesesteak destination, Jim's Steaks.

 

Stunning historic surroundings, including more than 800 homes listed in the Philadelphia Historic Register.

 

Getting around this enclave's narrow streets is easiest on foot, which grants the neighborhood a close-knit, friendly ambiance.
