Neighborhood

Southstar Lofts is set along South Broad Street on Philadelphia’s Avenue of the Arts, putting you close to restaurants and shops nearby on South Broad. A major perk is transit access: the Lombard–South Station is close by, making it easier to get around Center City without needing to drive. When you want a quick run for groceries or an easy walk to a landmark, spots like Sprouts Farmers Market, Reading Terminal Market, Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia City Hall, and the Liberty Bell are all in the surrounding area.

What Sets Southstar Lofts Apart

Southstar Lofts stands out for its Avenue of the Arts address at South and Broad, with a metro station close by and extremely high walk and transit scores (Walk Score 99, Transit Score 100, Bike Score 90). That’s a different day-to-day experience than many nearby options that lean more car-dependent. Inside the building, the mix of loft-style layouts with floor-to-ceiling windows, plus practical extras like a 24/7 fitness center, a dedicated work & play lounge, and EV charging outside the front door, gives it an edge if you want a home base that stays connected to Center City.
