Somerton delivers suburban calm with city convenience in the Far Northeast of Philadelphia. Tree-lined streets, sizable yards, and a mix of split-levels, twins, and newer infill homes make it easy to settle in, while proximity to Bustleton, Byberry, and Parkwood expands your options for shopping, dining, and everyday errands. Weekend plans often start at the only state park in the city, the wide-open meadows and community gardens of Benjamin Rush State Park, where trails and kite-flying fields invite year-round breathing room.
Families appreciate neighborhood mainstays like St. Christopher Parish and School, a hub for events and athletics, and the Arts Academy at Benjamin Rush, a magnet high school known for performance and visual arts. The Bustleton Library branch of the Free Library of Philadelphia offers story times, study space, and community programming, while Jefferson Torresdale Hospital sits just a short drive away for peace of mind.
Commuters have choices: Regional Rail from SEPTA’s Somerton Station or Forest Hills Station on the West Trenton Line, plus straightforward driving routes into Center City and quick access to Bucks County. Shopping runs are simple at Philadelphia Mills, and local youth sports, playgrounds, and pocket parks keep evenings and weekends active.
