The View at Old City presents a convenient and vibrant lifestyle mirroring that of its neighborhood-serving retailers, galleries, restaurants and popular nightlife destinations. Popular to all residents is the Roof Deck complete with greener lounge chairs, umbrellas, and dining tables where those desiring to bring their office outdoors, relax, or host a summer dinner with friends are able to do so amidst the backdrop of a majestic sunset. Beyond the sunset and Roof Deck, tree lined streets provide an easy commute to Philadelphia’s thriving business district, robust cultural centers, and sports venues. Job Itzkowitz, Executive Director for the Old City District, described it best when he said, “Old City is a great destination for retail, art, business and dining. It is a great place for just about anything.” The View at Old City regularly contributes to this amazing community and cultural vibe; recently hosting Perry Milou who paired Philadelphia themed artwork and Revivalist Gin.

Susie Dwinell, Director for The View at Old City’s owners, recently commented to a resident, “… it’s a rare and juxtaposed opportunity to live surrounded by evidence of courage, commitment and the establishment of our democratic system, while also providing our residents with luxuries made possible thanks to the heroic actions of our forefathers. Even Benjamin Franklin would be amazed by our Electric Car Charging stations considering his mode of transportation involved four legs, a mane, and hooves.“
