About
Parkwood
Parkwood, located between Pennypack Park and the Poquessing Creek corridor, is a residential and suburban-feeling Philadelphia neighborhood with curving cul-de-sacs and a strong park-and-trail edge. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Roosevelt Boulevard and Southampton Road junction, where auto-oriented plazas, diners, and everyday services set a practical, on-the-go rhythm. Brick-and-siding split-levels and row-style twins define many blocks, with driveways, small lawns, and mature street trees shaping the streetscape. Pennypack Park’s trailheads and creekside paths pull daily routines outdoors. For local staples, Maggie’s Waterfront Cafe, the historic Pennypack Park stone bridges, and the nearby Glen Foerd estate anchor a distinctly Northeast Philadelphia sense of place.

Residential Single-Family Attached-4 District
The RSA, Residential Single-Family Attached districts are primarily intended to accommodate attached and semi-detached houses on individual lots, but may be applied in areas characterized by a mix of housing types, including detached houses. The districts are also intended to provide a density transition between RSD districts and RM districts. The Zoning Code includes five RSA districts that are differentiated primarily on the basis of minimum lot area requirements.
