The majority of existing houses and churches in the area were constructed in the late 1800s when builders created magnificent Victorian architecture. Large yards, Victorian estates, and Philadelphia-style double homes characterize the neighborhood, although there are affordable apartments and condos within the neighborhood as well. Public transit is available in Oak Lane-East Oak Lane, and the streets are fairly pedestrian- and bike-friendly.

School data provided by 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.
