CHBD on GMA

The Chestnut Hill Business District proudly highlights the independent shops, cultural traditions, and natural beauty that make our neighborhood a must-visit destination. Our blend of boutique sophistication and tree-lined serenity captured national attention when Good Morning America featured Germantown Avenue in its “Main Street in America” series.

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.
