This former mill town retains its industrial heritage through preserved architecture and character. Row homes line the neighborhood's steep, cobblestone streets, creating a distinct atmosphere within Philadelphia's city limits. Main Street, the neighborhood's center, houses locally-owned shops, art galleries, and restaurants in restored 19th-century buildings.

The Schuylkill River Trail and towpath offer opportunities for cycling, running, and riverside walks.
