Fees and Policies
Colonial Philadelphia meets modern living in Queen Village-Pennsport. You’ll find historic homes mingling with apartments and modern condos and historic sites next to brand new businesses. While 200-year-old cobblestones line some of the streets, the nightlife of South Street and the major retailers on Columbus Boulevard make for easy 21st-century living. Weekend warriors and kayakers use Penn's Landing along the Delaware River as their playground, where they can enjoy scenic views along the water. Visit Spruce Street Harbor Park in the summer for hammocks and beer gardens and in the winter for ice skating and roasting marshmallows with the kids.
Center City is easy to get to via Market Street or by many buses that come through the area. However, like most of Philadelphia, this area is very walkable. Car owners like the fact that Interstate 95 and other highways are nearby for a quick reverse commute or for a weekend "down the shore.
