Entire houses with room for the whole group, in Philadelphia's oldest neighborhoods, a short ride from the Sports Complex.
Team names are shown only to describe nearby games. Historical Philly is not affiliated with any team, league or school.
A whole house gives a big group a kitchen, a living room and enough beds to stay together, with the restaurants, bars and history of Society Hill and Queen Village right outside.
Penn Quakers · Temple Owls · Villanova Wildcats

Penn plays football at Franklin Field, home of the Penn Relays, and basketball at the historic Palestra. Temple plays football at Lincoln Financial Field and basketball at the Liacouras Center.
The simplest door-to-door option, and the one most groups pick on game day. Car times below are typical, without game-day traffic, which is much heavier.
SEPTA's Broad Street Line ends at the Sports Complex station, about a five-minute walk from the stadiums, and game-day service is often increased. Ask us for the best way to reach the line from your house.
Hancock House includes free parking at the house. Parking at the stadiums is separate and set by the venues, so check their official parking information before you go.
The Eagles, Phillies, Sixers and Flyers play side by side in South Philadelphia, about ten minutes from the houses by car without traffic and roughly three miles on foot. The Union play in Chester, roughly 18 to 19 miles away, and college games are in University City, North Philadelphia and the western suburbs. All of it is too far to walk comfortably.
By car, the airport is about twenty minutes from the houses without traffic; allow more at rush hour and on holidays. SEPTA's Airport Line also runs from Center City stations to the airport terminals, usually every 30 minutes and in roughly 20 to 30 minutes, with less frequent service late in the evening. Check SEPTA for current times.
*Note: Distances are approximate. Car times are typical without traffic and will be longer around kickoff, tip-off and first pitch. Transit schedules change, so check SEPTA, Amtrak and the airport before you travel.
Hancock House sleeps 10 and includes free parking, and Catherine House sleeps 8 right next door. Take both for up to 18, depending on availability.
Rodman House in Society Hill sleeps 8, a block from South Street and a short walk from Old City.
Queen Village and Society Hill are known for food, with cheesesteaks on South Street and the Italian Market nearby. Explore the map for restaurants, coffee and groceries, with real walking distances.
