Mt. Airy real estate offers stone twins, generous lots and mature trees at prices below neighboring Chestnut Hill, with the same regional rail access into Center City. The housing stock is largely early twentieth century and often architecturally interesting, which means inspections matter and renovation budgets should be realistic. The stretch between Mt. Airy and Chestnut Hill is where a lot of the value sits, and it's the transition I get asked about most.
While it's just a short ride from Center City, Mt. Airy has it's fair share of greenery with it's close proximity to Wissahickon Creek. Find the best real estate within a beautiful, nature-filled community on the water.
