A historic community with charming row homes a blend of residents
Queen Village is considered Philadelphia’s first suburb, officially incorporated into the city in the 1850s. The neighborhood has some of the city’s oldest homes that offset late 20th-century development and trendy, contemporary businesses. Nowadays, its walkability, historic charm and restaurant-lined streets attract a diverse blend of families and mingling city-dwellers. “All sorts of people call Queen Village home,” says Realtor Kelly Cappello of Long and Foster Real Estate. Cappello has sold homes in the area for over 15 years. “You’ve got this energetic blend of younger professionals who are just starting out and established families that coexist nicely.” It’s a community whose history contributes to its flair and tangles with the modernity of Eastern Philly.

Queen Village is home to Fabric Row and ample eateries
South Fourth Street is an active showcase of the community’s spirited retail activity. Fondly deemed “Fabric Row,” local artisans and tourists explore Fourth Street’s fabric shops, cafés and bistros. Residents grab a pick-me-up at The Green Line Café before wandering The Merrygold Shop or South Street Art Mart for trinkets and art pieces. Mornings are energetic at The Bagel Place, where early risers order lox bagels and breakfast sandwiches. Lunch and dinner options abound, and Little Italy Pizza and Trattoria has oven-fired pizza adored across Philly. Fitz on 4th has ample vegan options, and M2O Burgers and Salads has burgers and milkshakes. Locals walk to South Street for its vibrant nightlife scene. Tattooed Mom is an eclectic dive bar with murals strewn across the walls. And MilkBoy is a late-night center of entertainment with open mic nights and live music, open until one in the morning. There are a few convenience markets within walking distance, like Queens Village Food Market, but shoppers mostly grab groceries at an ACME Market a few blocks away.

Row homes have historic charm
Queen Village consists mainly of historic, three-story rowhomes with a mix of Colonial and Italianate architecture. These tightly packed homes are from the 1860s through the 1920s, many accented by ornate bay windows and cornices. And more rowhomes feature contemporary renovations with sleek brick facades. Many homes require street parking with a permit, but several have street-level garages. Many locals enjoy condo living at The Residences at Dockside, an up-scale building on the Delaware River. Housing prices vary greatly, with some as low as $500,000, while larger homes can cost nearly $2 million. “You’ll often see people out walking the street with their kids or walking their dogs,” Cappello says.

Pocket parks are within walking distance
Sparks Shot Tower is one of the neighborhood’s most iconic structures. The 142-foot historical landmark was used to make musket balls from 1808 to 1903. It’s now home to Shot Tower Recreation Center and features a play area and sports facilities. Locals also enjoy Weccacoe Playground, which features a tennis court, or Mario Lanza Park, a small green space that hosts KidFest every Tuesday night in June with fun events for children. Sitting beyond the waterfront, locals often relax by the water. Washington Avenue Green features a leafy, undeveloped path that leads to an overlook of the Delaware River.

Excellent is what I can say. Art, Architecture, People, Places, Parks and Playgrounds, all encompassed well in this beautiful neighborhood. Experience history here and also enjoy the modern life. Best place to raise a family and start a business with best public transport connectivity to NYC, DC, Delaware and NJ. I love it here and am not leaving this little village of mine.

I have lived in Queen Village for over 10 years and I can't picture myself living anywhere else. It's a very walkable neighborhood and I always feel safe. There are multiple restaurants, cafés and mom and pop shops. In addition to this if you have children there are multiple schools that come highly recommended. One of the many things I love about Queen Village is that they have multiple dog parks, I take my dog now it's a Mario Lonza at least once a week, it's a great way to socialize. The last thing I will mention about queen village is how diverse the neighborhood is, there are all walks of life which makes me very happy.
