Welcome to Southwest Center City!
House front, south 17th Street
Southwest Center City - an exciting place to call home.

THIS SITE IS NO LONGER THE PLACE TO BE FOR NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS

Visit the SOSNA website instead, or check into the Southwest Center City group on Facebook.

The neighborhood from Broad Street to the Schuylkill River, South Street to Washington Avenue is rich in history, architectural landmarks and charming nineteenth-century rowhouses. A transitional area between Center City and South Philadelphia, it is home to several community service organizations, many churches, retail establishments and light industry.
