A standout architectural feature is the curved, dark slatted accent wall that anchors the main lobby area, adding visual depth and a refined, contemporary character. Flush circular light fixtures and wall-mounted sconces provide warm, even illumination across all areas, while large windows along the corridor allow natural light to filter in and offer views of the surrounding streetscape.

Elevator access is clearly positioned within the lobby, alongside additional doorways that connect to other areas of the building. The generous corridor leads residents smoothly from the entrance through to the elevator lobby, maintaining a cohesive design language throughout. The overall ambiance is polished and functional, balancing bold design choices with practical amenities that serve the needs of a modern residential building.

Eleven miles northwest of Philadelphia, Roxborough’s convenient locale provides residents easy accessibility to city attractions in a charming, yet modern neighborhood.
Prior to the 1854 Act of Consolidation, most of Roxborough was part of the Roxborough Township. The area was a thriving and successful textile mill, which helped fund many of the community’s schools and parks during that time.
Nestled between the Schuylkill River and Wissahickon Valley Park, there’s plenty of natural green space and settings to go around. Locals enjoy fishing for trout at the park, and going on evening walks at the Manayunk Canal in their free time. Many delicious and trendy restaurants encompass Ridge Avenue – but a popular, no-frills eatery is Dalessandro’s Steak, a cheesesteak shop by the Walnut Lane Golf Course.
Residents are comforted by their direct access to Interstate 76, SEPTA bus and rail services, and Thomas Jefferson University East Falls Campus.

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.
