THE CHARM OF SOCIETY HILL
Historic Charm. Connected Living. Timeless Society Hill.
Brimming with colonial charm and layered in history, Society Hill stands as one of Philadelphia’s most storied and sought-after residential neighborhoods. Cobblestone streets, brick sidewalks, and iconic Franklin lamps lead the way past beautifully preserved Federalist and Georgian-style row homes, offering a rare blend of old-world elegance and modern urban living.
Bordering the Delaware River just south of Old City and Independence Hall, Society Hill stretches from Chestnut Street to South Street and west to 7th Street. Its unique streetscape includes Dock Street’s graceful curve, a lasting trace of the original Dock Creek that once flowed to the river.
Thanks to a pioneering urban renewal effort that preserved the area’s architectural integrity, Society Hill is now listed on both the National and Philadelphia Registers of Historic Places.
Residents enjoy exceptional access to local transit, including the Market–Frankford subway line, multiple bus routes, bike share stations, and scenic greenways, all connecting you seamlessly to the energy of Center City and beyond.
Come discover how The Ryland places you in the heart of it all, where historic beauty meets modern luxury.

The Ryland Signature Cocktail: A Toast to Our Roots
Pennsylvania is the birthplace of American whiskey. In the 17th century, Eastern European farmers settled in the region and planted hardy rye in the rocky, golden soil. That rye helped shape a distinctly American spirit, one known for its bold flavor and timeless character.
The name Ryland is inspired by the golden stretches of land where this rye once grew. Our signature cocktail honors that heritage, blending tradition and refinement into every pour. It is more than a drink; it is a celebration of place, craft, and history.
The Ryland cocktail offers up a fresh take on a classic Manhattan with a Society Hill twist:
2oz. Kinsey Rye Whiskey
1oz Dolin Sweet Vermouth
20 drops Dram Palo Santo Bitters
10 drops Artemisia Smoked Cherry Bitters
5 drops Bittercube Orange Bitters
1. Combine whiskey, vermouth, and bitters in a cocktail mixing glass.
2. Add ice and stir until chilled.
3. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with cherry.
