All About

Living in William Penn Annex East, PA

William Penn Annex East is a neighborhood of Philadelphia that represents the area where William Penn - the founder of the Province of Pennsylvania and the man who first planned and developed Philadelphia - and the original Quaker settlers first put down stakes in America.

Today, apartment residents in William Penn Annex East can explore the roots of their neighborhood's rich history through the vestiges of Old City, the Philadelphia district that contains a number of popular historic sites. Apartment renters in this portion of the city can visit a number of national landmarks, including the Betsy Ross House, historic Carpenter's Hall, Elfreth's Alley - which officials say is the nation's oldest residential street - and the popular Penn's Landing waterfront area.

But those who live in William Penn Annex East apartments also know the area for its lively nightlife and wealth of restaurants, bars and clubs. One of the most popular is National Mechanic's, a bar and restaurant located inside the former Mechanic's National Bank, which was first built in 1837. The establishment is popular for its old-world, Gothic architecture and warm, inviting feel.

William Penn Annex East is also the site of the world-renowned annual Philadelphia Live Arts Festival, which apartment residents turn out for in droves. The event brings together performing arts groups and entertainers from around the world, with about half of the performers based in the city itself, according to event organizers.

What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About William Penn Annex East

Walk to all. CITY lifestyle high rise, but sidewalk cafes, like smaller town.near art galleries, entertainment and theatre all walkable

Neighborhood is close to many restaurants and the Bay to Gulf of Mexico. I would recommend the neighborhood to others as a great place to live.

The majority of the residents where I live are elderly, friendly, self-sufficient people who are readily available with a smile and a friendly greeting. The locale is perfect whereby I am able to walk to restaurants (with varied ethnic cuisines), bars and shops and if I don't feel like walking the county bus line is only feet away and runs all day long.

There's a little park nearby with two nice sized ball fields and a volleyball place which is nice to hang out at.
