What People Are Saying About Chestnut Hill
Featured Review

In Short – A few blocks along cobblestoned Germantown Avenue comprise the Hill's own main street, peppered with chain stores. Antique boutiques dominate the shopping district, with specialty shops in between. Amid these "Roadshow"-watcher's establishments are garden stores, children's boutiques, art galleries and gourmet shops. There's also Kilian's Hardware, Chestnut Hill Sporting Goods, the Cheese Shop, Zipf's Candies and a farmers' market.
Editor's Tips
- Where to Go:
- Shops run along the avenue from the Free Library to Cresheim Valley Drive.
- The Extras:
- Wednesday evenings between Thanksgiving and Christmas, shops here stay open and musicians stroll the streets for festive "Stag and Doe" nights.

A small town in the city
by ek_bushnell at Citysearch
Chestnut Hill is a quaint town and feels far removed from Philadelphia despite still being within the city limits. With the cobblestone streets and great shops and restaurants, its the perfect place to spend a Saturday. I fell in love with Chestnut Hill the first time I went and decided to stay. It's a great neighborhood to live in as well as visit!
- Pros: Great Shops, Lots of Parking

Shopping on the Hill
by lweisberg at Citysearch
Shopping in Chestnut Hill is a unique Philadelphia experience. The stores are varied and comprehensive. The atmosphere is friendly and "small town". The scale of the buildings and the street encourages leisurely strolling. There are great restaurants and coffee bars to refresh you and the kids. All in all, it's a wonderful shopping scene.
- Pros: small town ambience, good parking, friendly
