Exactly Where You Want to Be
Located at 25th and Locust in charming, historic Fitler Square, you are in the heart of urban living, walkable to everything, yet you are literally in a park, surrounded by grass, trees, gardens and paths. One Riverside is within easy walking distance of Rittenhouse Square, the University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University, 30th Street Station, Children’s Hospital and more. It’s one of the most sought after neighborhoods in the city because of its well-tended houses, friendly neighbors, walk-to-everywhere location and strong sense of community.
One Riverside sits at the entrance to the 60-mile Schuylkill River trail and the promenade to the South Street bridge. It is adjacent to Schuylkill River Park with a dog park, tennis and basketball courts and playgrounds. The naturally beautiful and serene community gardens also adjoin the property.

All but a few homes come with balconies or terraces that overlook the gardens, the river and the city skyline. The views are dramatic- and endless – with sweeping panoramas to the North, South, East and West. Surrounded by public parks and the river these views will always remain.
