About This Home

500 S Melville St
Available Sep 23

This is a bright and welcoming 4 bedroom/2 full bath house in the heart of University City (20 min walk to CHOP/Penn/Drexel). It's the perfect mix of urban and suburban, with off-street parking and access to the 34 (T2) and 13 (T3) trolley, 42 bus lines within blocks. Five minute walk to Clark Park (farmers market, playgrounds, dog park). All pets welcome! We just redid everything (kitchen, deck, bathroom, etc) thinking it was our forever house as we love the neighborhood. It's got a second-floor laundry, eat-in kitchen, sunroom, patio, dining room, first floor bathroom, off-street parking, huge basement, an amazing "play alley," and a small but functional front yard. It's in the Penn Alexander K-8 School catchment. Pets okay. It's available starting Oct 1st (but flexible move in) for $3600 water/trash included. Owners only a block away for easy resolution of any issues!

Neighborhood

Located in West Philadelphia, Cedar Park is a historic neighborhood that has undergone revitalization in recent years. Known as a “streetcar” suburb, Cedar Park boasts stunning architecture and many historic homes. Today, this diverse neighborhood is known as a quirky, urban locale with a bohemian vibe and vibrant culture. Located along Baltimore Avenue, Cedar Park maintains its own distinctive identity with a unique collection of galleries, shops, independent music, international restaurants, and a microbrewery.

Although the neighborhood is perfect for urbanites, Cedar Park is filled with trees and residents have access to several city parks including Clark Park and Malcolm X Park. Like most urban communities, Cedar Park is walkable, but residents also use public transit to travel to other major destinations in the city including the University of Pennsylvania and Center City. Great for renters of all ages, Cedar Park offers affordable to upscale rentals in every style.
