Philadelphia’s West Oak Lane community is a vibrant and historic neighborhood on the north end of the city. Vintage townhomes line many of the neighborhood’s streets, but the local rental market features a diverse selection of apartments, condos, and single-family homes as well. Most of the neighborhood is residential, with a few cafes and small storefront businesses scattered throughout: low-key favorites like June’s Restaurant and Moonlight Cuisine keep the locals well-fed, day and night.
Just up Ogontz Avenue, you’ll find a much larger shopping district anchored by Cheltenham Mall as well as a diverse selection of dining options ranging from seafood to barbecue. Several public schools are positioned within walking distance of West Oak Lane, and both La Salle University and Gratz College are conveniently located nearby, making this neighborhood a great option for students, faculty, and staff members.
