Haverford North pairs neighborhood warmth with city energy, set along the west side of Philadelphia and bordered by well-known communities like Powelton Village, Mantua, and Belmont. Classic rowhomes mix with modern apartments, while Lancaster and Haverford avenues offer corner cafés, global eats, and everyday conveniences. Commuting is easy thanks to SEPTA’s Market–Frankford Line at the 40th Street Station, placing Center City minutes away via the SEPTA 40th Street Station (please update link). Active residents also appreciate bike-friendly streets and quick cross-river access.
Education anchors life here. Families are served by the neighborhood’s Alain Locke School and nearby West Philadelphia High School, while proximity to Drexel University and the University of Pennsylvania expands opportunities for research, employment, and lifelong learning. Green space is close at hand at Saunders Park Gardens, a favorite for farmers markets and community events, and high-quality care is right next door at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center. For weekend adventures, the Philadelphia Zoo is a quick ride away, and the Lancaster Avenue corridor pulses with local arts and the annual jazz festival.
