East Falls

The East Falls neighborhood is about as convenient as you can get.  It's bordered by Kelly Drive, Ridge Ave is it's main thoroughfare, it has easy access to Route 1 and I-76 and East Falls is about 10 minutes from Center City via the R6 Line.  Originally home to the Lenni Lenape Indians and later home to Grace Kelly, it's now an affordable place to live and brings in visitors with its lively restaurants and its support of the arts.  

Manayunk

Located along the banks of the Schuylkill River, lies Manayunk.  Manayunk is in the NW part of Philadelphia this neighborhood holds rich history in industry and manufacturing and is now one of the main shopping districts in Philadelphia.  It's a great place to walk or enjoy a bike ride along the towpath.

Wash West

Roughly between 6th and 10th, Walnut and South, lies the Washington Square West neighborhood.  It's a neighborhood little known outside a Philadelphian's knowledge.  But, within it lie the well known Antique Row, Kahn Park and of course Washington Square.  It's a great place to walk on a warm day with lots of nooks, crannies, alleys and hidden streets to investigate.  Take a look at Wash West.
