Fox Chase pairs leafy streets and classic Northeast row, twin, and single homes with a surprisingly green backdrop at the city’s northern edge. Bordered by Philadelphia and close to Montgomery County, the neighborhood enjoys easy access to nature via the woodlands and trails of Pennypack Creek. Weekend runs, bike rides, and family picnics play out in the expanse of Pennypack Park, while local traditions thrive at the working Fox Chase Farm with seasonal festivals and hands-on programs. Culture buffs gravitate to the Victorian-era Ryerss Museum & Library, a quirky, free museum set amid rolling lawns.
Daily life is convenient and connected. The SEPTA Fox Chase Station anchors commutes to Center City, and Rhawn Street and Oxford Avenue supply mom-and-pop eateries, cafes, and services. Healthcare pros and patients alike appreciate proximity to the nationally recognized Fox Chase Cancer Center. Families applaud neighborhood schools and resources, from the community-oriented Fox Chase Library to diverse public, private, and parochial options. Fox Chase Elementary’s programs and active parent networks underscore the area’s reputation for stability and neighborhood pride.
