Longshoremen who worked in Philadelphia's historic fishing and shipbuilding industries often resided in Fishtown, as the coastal district provided housing near the riverbank. This Philadelphia neighborhood is full of natural beauty, with many parks and the Schuylkill River lining the area, and you'll have many unique lodging options to choose from, including spacious mid-century modern homes, historic townhomes, and charming single-family bungalows.
