Pennsport real estate has been one of South Philadelphia's steadier value stories — rowhouses within reach of Center City, a good deal of new construction, and easier parking than neighborhoods further north. Buyers who've been priced out of Queen Village and Bella Vista end up here and are usually glad they did. The blocks toward the river and those toward Fourth Street price quite differently, which is worth knowing before you start looking.
Often dubbed as one of the fastest growing communities in the city, Pennsport is brimming with neighborhood pride. This district offers a refreshing mix of Mummers, greenery, killer eats, four legged friends and more than enough spots to grab a cold one.
