What it’s like to live in Fishtown
Not just hipster heaven anymore, Fishtown now attracts everyone from creative professionals to young families seeking Philadelphia's most dynamic neighborhood. Former factories and corner taprooms now house coffee roasters and craft breweries, creating genuine walkable living rare in car-dependent cities. The neighborhood's iconic row homes maintain their historic exteriors while featuring thoroughly modernized interiors – the perfect blend of character and comfort.
