Neighborhood

West Philadelphia stretches from the Schuylkill River across from downtown and up to Highway 1. This large neighborhood is widely known for its major cultural institutions, including the University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University, the Philadelphia Zoo, and West Fairmount Park (home to the Mann Center and the Please Touch Museum).

West Philly maintains a down-to-earth atmosphere alongside the grandiose campus buildings. Filled with brightly-painted historic row houses, amazing restaurants representing every corner of the globe, and an unpretentious charm that unites its diverse residents, it’s a vibrant neighborhood with a long history. The community is known for its music scene as much as it is its farmer's market, its parks as much as its funky boutiques. West Philly is walkable and offers the "El," SEPTA's elevated rail system, for getting around the city. Trolleys and regional trains are also available for commuters, putting the entire city at your fingertips.
