<\/p>\nThe Fishtown neighborhood has been named a lot of things: New York City\u2019s 6th borough, the hottest neighborhood in the country, the hipster heaven. Whatever you call it, one thing is true, Fishtown is booming right now. Its location, further out from Center City yet still connected, appeals to young families and professionals tired of the hustle and bustle but who still want the urban lifestyle. It\u2019s boasting an eclectic mix of art and culture alongside one of the best food and nightlife scenes in the city.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Fishtown is a small neighborhood located directly north of Northern Liberties, next to Olde Kensington and just below Olde Richmond. Its eastern edge hugs the Delaware River, where many tall, modern buildings are fighting to capitalize on the expansive views of this up-and-coming neighborhood. It\u2019s somewhat of a border or a transition area, where this part of Philly shifts from urban (Fishtown) to more residential (Olde Richmond). Due to its location right on top of it, a similar price point, and the shared, more hipster vibe, Fishtown often gets lumped in with Northern Liberties, but they are two distinct neighborhoods.<\/p>\n
Ask any of the locals and they\u2019ll say the same thing about Fishtown: it has changed a lot in recent years. It has been labeled the hottest neighborhood in America at points, which is perhaps surprising to those who have been there for generations.<\/p>\n
