About
Somerton
Somerton, located between Bustleton and Trevose, is a residential and commercial Philadelphia neighborhood with a rail-stop edge and a low-rise, leafy streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Byberry Road and Bustleton Avenue corridor, where strip plazas, diners, and small service storefronts set a steady, everyday rhythm. Brick twins, split-levels, and mid-century ranch homes line curving blocks, with pockets of newer infill near major arterials. Poquessing Creek and nearby greenways shape the area’s quieter borders and walking routes. Community touchstones include the Somerton Tank Farm, the Somerton Branch of the Free Library of Philadelphia, and the Somerton Station area on SEPTA’s West Trenton Line.
