Friday Open House Roundup: All Along the Waterfront
Summertime’s the perfect time to fall in love with your very own perch on one of Philadelphia’s famous riverfronts! With the Schuylkill to the west and the Delaware to the east, Center City is framed out with water. City parks and walking trails surround the riversides, encouraging locals and visitors alike to cherish a cool breeze and an experience of rushing blue water that seems almost at odds with the concrete-and-glass metropolis it embraces.
From fireworks on the 4th to quiet sunsets blazing over the bridges, the joys of waterfront living ’round these parts can’t be underestimated! Whether you are directly overlooking the shore or set back a few blocks, your home value – and your quality of life – will always be enhanced with a riverside abode.
Without any further ado, let’s take a peek at the homes!
