Around Penn's Landing
Condominium towers extending into the Delaware will put you as close to the water as you can get, short of living on a houseboat. The architecture of The Residences at Dockside even imitates a docked cruise ship, allowing residents to feel like they’re always on vacation with luxurious amenities and chic interiors. Further inland, planned communities west of Christopher Columbus Boulevard offer rowhomes with a bit more space. Any abode in Penn’s Landing is within walking distance of the festivities. Great Plaza is in the heart of this stretch and hosts concerts, fireworks, and movie screenings.
Given the waterfront views, amenities, and contemporary nature of the area, cost of living can be high for the square footage you’ll get in condominiums. However, it’s unlikely you’ll find these kinds of views anywhere else. Condos to the north in Old City tend to be less expensive than those along the water near Queen Village. Rowhomes further inland offer a bit more space for your dollar, but monthly HOA fees can vary greatly.
You’re poised to eat incredibly well in Penn’s Landing. Some of the finest and most highly regarded eateries in Philly and even the nation are nearby. Exquisite outdoor and indoor ambiances will change the way you want to dine, and the expertly crafted dishes of master chefs will expand your palate. The lauded Moshulu might be the quintessential dining experience in this maritime area. Housed in a renovated ship that once sailed the world, this AAA Four Diamond-rated restaurant specializes in seafood and offers both indoor seating and an outdoor bar on the deck. For a livelier experience, enjoy the ropa vieja or paella at the stylish Cuba Libre. When you’d prefer a low-key night out with an equally delicious meal, check out the Israeli cuisine at Zahav. Center City contains an abundance of culinary adventures to satisfy any craving.
Docked sailboats line the scenic walkways where residents take contemplative strolls by the water. The area’s attractions draw Philadelphians from all over town and visitors from all over the world. With tours of retired warships, live performances from the country’s hottest acts, seasonal festivals, ferry rides, museums, and so much more, Penn’s Landing is always abuzz.

Sundays at the waterfront can be as laid-back or as action-packed as you like. Penn’s Landing has plenty of parks and public spaces where you can relax.
