Wedged between the Schuylkill River and Drexel University and including part of the University of Pennsylvania, the 30th Street Station neighborhood borrows its name from its most prominent (and busiest) feature: the 30th Street SEPTA station. This neighborhood is directly across the river from downtown, and its easy access to mass transit and Philadelphia's major universities make it a popular destination for apartment renters.
Extremely walkable and featuring historic architecture and wide streets, 30th Street Station is ideal for those looking for an urban neighborhood near everything. The neighborhood features a variety of outdoor cafes, unique shops, and the picture-perfect Penn Park. Residents of 30th Street Station also enjoy easy access to Penn Museum, Franklin Field, the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, World Café Live, and the Palestra.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
