Manayunk real estate comes with hills, river views and a Main Street that draws people from across the region. Homes run from narrow rowhouses stepped up the slope to converted mill buildings and newer condos near the water. Parking and the grade of your particular street matter more here than almost anywhere else in Philadelphia — two houses a block apart can live completely differently. Worth walking before you buy.
While Center City is just a short train ride away, you'll find it hard to leave with all Main Street Manayunk has to offer. It's chock-full of enough craveworthy restaurants, offbeat boutiques, cafes and amazing pubs.
