About QVNA

Geographic Boundaries
Queen Village is bounded by the south side of Lombard Street to the north side of Washington Avenue and the east side of 6th Street to the Delaware River. Much of our business district (known as the South Street Headhouse District) lays within Queen Village’s boundaries.
