  • Washington Square West (or Wash West) is a neighborhood in downtown, or Center City, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The neighborhood roughly corresponds to the area between 6th and 10th Streets and between Walnut and South Streets, bordering on the Independence Mall tourist area directly northeast, Market East to the northwest, Old City and Society Hill to the East, Bella Vista directly south, Hawthorne to the southwest, and mid-town Philadelphia and Rittenhouse Square to the west. Many realtors and civic groups, in an attempt to hype up the area as a desirable trendy neighborhood designate the western border of the neighborhood as Broad Street, 4 blocks from the more accurate boundary of 10th Street. The area take its name from Washington Square, a historic urban park in the northeastern corner of the neighborhood. A section of Philadelphia's Antique Row lies in the area as does the nation's oldest hospital, Pennsylvania Hospital. Educational and medical facilities associated with, Thomas Jefferson University, a leading regional medical university and health care center, are located at the western edge of the neighborhood. Washington Square West's real estate is characterized by three to four story townhomes interspersed with mid-rize apartments and offices with ground-floor retail. The neighborhood follows William Penn's original grid layout for the city, with many one-lane and pedestrian side streets added later as the population became more dense. In addition to the block sized Washington Square Park to the East, the neighborhood contains the smaller Kahn Park, named after the Philadelphia Architect Louis Kahn.
