You'll find townhomes, brownstones and high rise living throughout Washington Square West. The performing arts venues on the Avenue of the Arts and Walnut Street are within easy walking distance. You can sample a large array of neighborhood-style restaurants or enjoy the fare in Olde City or Rittenhouse Square after a 15-20 minute walk.

Washington Square West attracts a large number of single men and women as well as many couples. Many work on Market Street, Society Hill and Broad Street.
