Center City Condos at BHHS Fox & Roach Realtors www.CenterCityCondos.com During the late 80s, Mark fell in love with Philly real estate. The first condo he bought was in Old City.

If you’ve ever driven over the Ben Franklin Bridge, you know Waterfront Square (901 N. Penn St.). They’re the three condo towers to your right as you’re entering Center City, and one of the most recognizable gated communities in the Philadelphia skyline. But as someone who has spent 37 years navigating the Philadelphia condo market, and as a current resident myself, I can tell you that what you see from Delaware Avenue is only half the story.

Being the owner of CenterCityCondos.com, I’ve seen just about every floor plan in the city, but Waterfront Square (WFS) has some unique quirks that even seasoned agents often miss. There is a big difference between an agent who has once visited the complex and a neighbor who knows the buildings in...

Many condo investors in Center City Philadelphia focus heavily on purchase price, rental income, and monthly condo fees while overlooking one of the most important factors of all: the building’s financial health. Reserve funding, deferred maintenance, pending capital improvements, and the likelihood of future special assessments can dramatically affect both profitability and long-term resale value.

Often, Philly condo buildings that consistently invest in maintenance and capital improvements actually protect and strengthen property values over time. Buyers and tenants alike are drawn to condominiums that feel well-managed, financially stable, and physically maintained. Deferred maintenance ten...

09/17/2026

For luxury condo buyers in Center City Philadelphia, The Ritz-Carlton Residences at 1414 South Penn Square and Symphony House at 440 South Broad Street frequently appeal to the same buyer profile. Both offer full-service living, luxury amenities, concierge service, valet parking, and exceptional Center City locations. Yet despite these similarities, the lifestyle offered by each building is surprisingly different.

Buyers often assume these buildings compete directly because both are luxury high-rises. In reality, they appeal to slightly different lifestyles. The Ritz-Carlton is often the better fit for buyers who want maximum service, convenience, and a luxury hospitality experience. Symphony House is often t...

The Hopkinson House is a full-service condominium building overlooking Washington Square in the 19106 zip code. Originally constructed in the 1960s, the building contains a mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom residences. Positioned directly on the Square, many units offer park views, balconies, and strong natural light, which are key value drivers within the building.

The Hopkinson House, located at 604 South Washington Square in Philadelphia, is THE TOYOTA OF CENTER CITY CONDO BUILDINGS: Reliable, dependable, well-managed, and reasonably priced. As a Realtor for 37+ years, I can guide you through buying and selling at The Hopkinson House.

If you’re looking at condos in Philadelphia, 1201 Fitzwater St., better known as Hawthorne Lofts, is likely on your radar. It’s one of those buildings that looks great on paper, but after years of working directly with the developer, I know there are details you just won't find by scrolling through a Zillow gallery.

Choosing between Cityview and The Tivoli isn’t a matter of one being better than the other. It’s a matter of which one fits your life. Let me break it down.

I’ve sold condos in both of these buildings more times than I can count. When buyers ask me to compare them, I always say the same thing: they sit less than a block apart on Hamilton Street, but they are fundamentally different real estate propositions.

CityView consists of two towers — North and South — that share amenities such as the grounds, pool, gym, and library, but operate as two separate condominium associations. The Tivoli represents newer construction with high-end finishes - hardwood floors, wood-burning fireplaces in select units, ...
