Market East is the name that demarks
the area along Philadelphia’s Market Street bordered by Chestnut
Street, Arch Street, Juniper Street, and 6th Street. Technically part
of Center City, Market East has been one of Philadelphia’s major
retail centers since the 1800s, when it was actually a market street,
full of merchants and farmers bringing their wares to stalls, carts and
booths.
Today, the neighborhood is home to many corporate and privately owned
retail establishments and Market East Philadelphia condos. The
neighborhood draws shoppers from all over the city and the outlying
areas. The Gallery at Market East, the Strawbridge and Clothier
flagship store, and the Reading Terminal Market are notable retail
anchors. Other Market East landmarks include the Philadelphia
Convention Center and the Thomas Jefferson University and Hospital.
Homebuyers who are interested in Market East Philadelphia condos will
find that Market East is incredibly well connected, situated in the
center of the action. To the east is Independence Hall and Old City, to
the west is City Hall, and to the north is Chinatown. Rittenhouse
Square and Society Hill are only a short bus trip or subway ride away.
Market East Philadelphia condos are a good buy at the moment. There is
a significant amount of development in progress on Market Street, and
there has been talk of new Phila Luxury and High-Rise Condo
developments on some of the street’s vacant lots. Investors who
purchase Market East Philadelphia condos now will likely find that
property values rise as the neighborhood becomes even more gentrified.
As Market East is truly a transportation hub for the city, it is likely
that more and more people will begin to discover the convenience and
practicality of living in Market East Philadelphia condos. Get in early
