Callowhill: Philly's Loft District

Also known as the Loft District, Callowhill is a Philadelphia neighborhood that spans between Vine Street, Spring Garden Street, Broad Street, and 8th Street. Although it was once a bustling manufacturing district, is has since been revitalized into a commercial and residential hub that has plenty of attractions of its own.

Perhaps the defining feature of Callowhill is its breathtaking warehouses, which have been totally transformed into high-end condos, apartments, and retail spaces over the last century. If you really want to live like a local, head to Spring Garden Street to explore the neighborhood's trendy brewpubs, or take some time to browse Callowhill's up and coming art galleries. When you live here, urban excitement awaits right at your doorstep.
