There’s something magical about autumn in Philadelphia. The leaves along the Schuylkill turn golden, the air carries the scent of pumpkin spice, and the city comes alive with festivals, cultural events, and neighborhood celebrations. At Watchtower communities, we believe where you live should give you more than just an apartment — it should give you direct access to a vibrant, connected lifestyle.
From Northern Liberties to East Falls and beyond, here’s how you can experience fall like a true local while enjoying the comfort of our pet-friendly Philadelphia apartments.
🎃 Harvest & Farm Fun Just Outside the City
When you live at one of our East Falls apartments, weekend trips to Bucks and Chester Counties are just a quick drive away.
- Highland Orchards (West Chester) – apple picking, pumpkin patches, and hayrides from September through late October.
- Peddler’s Village (Lahaska) – the famous Scarecrows in the Village displays make for the perfect Instagram moment.
- Shady Brook Farm (Yardley) – wagon rides, moonlit corn mazes, and seasonal food trucks for the ultimate fall night out.
✨ The best part? After a day of adventure, you return to a home that feels just as cozy as autumn itself — whether it’s hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, or skyline views from your living room.
🍎 Neighborhood Festivals at Your Doorstep
Living in Center City or Northern Liberties means you can step outside and join some of the city’s biggest fall block parties and festivals.
- Northern Liberties Fall Festival (October 12, 2025) – food, shopping, and live music just steps from our Liberties West Condominiums.
- Made in Philadelphia Fall Market at Dilworth Park – artisan goods, perfect for holiday gifting.
- Chestnut Hill Fall for the Arts Festival – a day filled with local art, music, and small-town charm, just a short train ride away.
✨ These events aren’t just for a day out — they’re an extension of the urban lifestyle you get when you live in a walkable, connected neighborhood.
🎭 Arts, Culture & Seasonal Experiences
Philadelphia’s arts scene shines in the fall.
- Philadelphia Film Festival – catch indie films and international debuts.
- DesignPhiladelphia – explore cutting-edge architecture and design.
- Head of the Schuylkill Regatta – a fall tradition that lights up Kelly Drive with rowing teams and fans from around the world.
✨ At The Preston in East Falls, you’re minutes from Kelly Drive and Center City — making it easy to balance cultural experiences with everyday convenience.
👻 Halloween Thrills
Fall wouldn’t be complete without a little spooky fun. Philly transforms with haunted houses, ghost tours, and even Spooky Mini Golf at Franklin Square. For families (and our pet parents), many neighborhoods host festive trick-or-treat events and dog-friendly costume parades.
✨ That’s the beauty of living in pet-friendly apartments — your four-legged family members can join in the fun too.
🏡 Living the Lifestyle Year-Round
At Watchtower, we don’t just lease apartments — we create communities designed for connection. Whether you’re grilling at our courtyards in Northern Liberties, enjoying coffee near Rittenhouse, or relaxing in East Falls after a day of apple-picking, your home is the launchpad for the best of Philadelphia living.
This fall, let your address be the reason you’re never far from the festivals, food, and fun that make Philadelphia one of the most exciting cities to call home.
