About Forty
Acres
Forty Acres, located between Upland Street and Highland Avenue, is a residential and historic Chester neighborhood with brick rowhomes and tree-lined blocks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Crozer-Chester Medical Center campus along W 9th Street, where hospital buildings, corner takeouts, and bus stops set a steady, weekday rhythm. Architectural details lean early-20th-century, with tight setbacks, front stoops, and small porches that keep the streetscape social. Green breaks come via nearby Crozer Park and the wider lawns around Widener University. Cultural touchstones nearby include the Harrah’s Philadelphia complex on the waterfront and the Subaru Park stadium scene across the river. The geography reads as city-grid living with quick turns to I-95 and the Delaware River industrial edge.
