If you’re in the market for a condo in Philadelphia, you have quite the selection to choose from. Philly has a plethora of luxury condo buildings with amenities galore, beautiful living spaces, and stunning views of the city. You can go to any real estate website and take a virtual stroll through the many different buildings and listings, taking in the size of the kitchen or the fixtures in the kitchen. Most of these online listing even come with a description outlining the details that make each building special. Ultimately you’ll see that the building has a pool, but where are the pictures? What does it look like? Don’t fret, CenterCityTeam is here to tell you all you need to know about each condominium’s pool. With no further adieu, here is our ranking of the Top 10 Luxury Condo Pools in Philadelphia.
1. Parc Rittenhouse
Address: 225 S. 18th St, Rittenhouse Square – Rittenhouse
With quite possibly the hottest pool scene in Philadelphia, Parc’s outdoor pool is usually filled with tons of fit, young, good looking Philadelphian’s. A large seating area accompanies the pool, giving you ample space to lay out or entertain a group of friends. Some say the only downside of this pool is the surrounding buildings cutting off any views of the city, while I’ve heard others say the cozy confines make for a different experience. If you’re viewing a condo in the building, take a stroll through this magnificent pool area, and try not to sign the lease on the spot.

2. The Dorchester
Address: 224-230 West Rittenhouse Square- Rittenhouse
If Parc doesn’t have Philly’s hottest pool scene, then the Dorchester does. Perched high above Rittenhouse Square with postcard quality views, the pool at the Dorchester is a must visit if you can get in. This is the perfect escape from the sweltering heat of summer with it’s constant breeze, it has the sea breeze in the city!

3. Independence Place
Address: 233-241 South 6th Street – Society Hill

4. William Penn House
Address: 1919 Chestnut St, Rittenhouse Square – Rittenhouse
Another one of Philadelphia’s rooftop pools with views. The William Penn House, one of only a few co-ops in Philadelphia, has transitioned from a building with largely baby boomer and older residents to a nice mix of ages.
5. Hopkinson House
Address: 604-636 South Washington Square – Society Hill
The Hop House offers Philadelphia’s only rooftop pool located directly on Washington Square and, like the Dorchester in Rittenhouse, the views are stunning. I think the picture writes the description for us, swing a few laps and “high five” William Penn.
