Bustleton, located between Pennypack Park and the city line at Southampton Road, is a residential and commercial Philadelphia neighborhood with broad arterial boulevards and a patchwork of postwar brick twins. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Bustleton Avenue and Red Lion Road, where strip plazas, bakeries, and long-running eateries line the traffic-heavy corridor. Community pillars include the historic Bustleton Library, the Greater Northeast Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, and the Ukrainian Educational and Cultural Center. Housing reads as practical and low-rise, with tidy blocks giving way to shopping centers along Roosevelt Boulevard. Pennypack Park’s trails and creek crossings add a green counterpoint to the car-oriented streetscape.
