Directly across the Schuylkill River is this neighborhood packed with culture, cuisine and character. As the academic heart of the city, University City is one of most vibrant enclaves in Philly.
University City is bustling, late night dining, shopping, nightlife and arts, but still cozy, with abundant greenery. Much of it’s charm rests in its victorian townhouses along tree lined streets. Neighborhood dwellers get the best of both worlds with a community vibe, plenty of outdoor spaces all while being close to public transportation.
