Property is being sold strictly AS-IS.
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.
