Loved locally, recognized nationally
We partnered with Visit Philly and En Route Marketing to showcase the beauty and community of Chestnut Hill. Not only did we celebrate Independence Day on America's favorite morning show with our neighbors, but we also gave away free services, and experiences for one lucky member Southern Flames BBQ. When you join the CHBD, opportunities arise.
Great for Business, Great for Family
Chestnut Hill is not just a neighborhood, it's an experience. We're tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Center City Philadelphia while still offering world-class experiences, shops, and amenities, for you, your family, and your loved ones.
