Naval Square is a gated, master-planned residential community in Philadelphia centered on the restored Biddle Hall, an 18th-century landmark repurposed into condominium residences. Completed in phases beginning in 2006, the development spans roughly 20 park-like acres and combines low- and mid-rise masonry buildings with historic architectural details, classical rotunda common spaces, and landscaped parade grounds. Units are primarily one- and two-bedroom condos in a variety of floor plans including bi-level penthouses, lofted one-bedrooms, and accessible entry-level flats. Interiors commonly feature hardwood floors, crown moldings, recessed lighting, granite or marble counters, cherry or shaker-style cabinetry, in-unit laundry, walk-in closets, skylights and large windows that capture plentiful natural light. Shared facilities are anchored by the dramatic Biddle Hall rotunda and include a residents’ club room, fitness center, seasonal outdoor pool and sundeck, concierge/guarded entry, community laundry or in-unit washers, and abundant secured storage options. Exterior amenities include walking paths, mature landscaping, picnic areas, playground, sidewalks and exterior lighting within the gated grounds. Most residences convey with a deeded parking space in nearby garage or surface lots; the association enforces pet-friendly policies (typically up to two pets) and conducts capital improvements through an active homeowners association. Situated steps from the Schuylkill River Park trail and within easy walking distance of University City, Rittenhouse and Fitler Square dining and transit, the community blends historic architecture with modern condominium living in a secure, green campus setting.
