Why Queen Village is a Sweet Philadelphia Neighborhood
A quaint, quiet neighborhood situated just below Society Hill, Queen Village is a stately, primarily residential neighborhood located just steps from the Delaware River. Located in a historically significant area, the neighborhood has origins in Colonial Philadelphia; hundreds of years later, it’s one of the more desirable neighborhoods in the Center City sphere. In recent years, the culture of dining and shopping in the neighborhood has taken off and shows no signs of slowing down. Fabric Row on 4th Street is a destination for artists, artisans, merchants, and lovers of textiles and decor. Queen Village is bounded by Lombard Street to the north and Washington Avenue to the south; running east to west, the neighborhood spans from Front Street over to 6th Street.
