About West Oak
Lane
West Oak Lane, located between Cheltenham Avenue and Stenton Avenue, is a residential and commercial Philadelphia neighborhood with leafy blocks and a classic rowhouse streetscape. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates around the Ogontz Avenue and 72nd Avenue corridor, where barbershops, bakeries, takeout counters, and small storefronts set a steady, everyday rhythm. Landmark Americana Tap & Grill anchors the local dining scene, while Simons Recreation Center and the West Oak Lane Library act as civic touchpoints. Brick twins and porch-front homes line the side streets, with pocket parks breaking up the grid. SEPTA’s Broad Street Line at Fern Rock frames the commute pattern, and nearby Fairmount Park trails add a green counterpoint.

The districts are also intended to provide a density transition between RSD districts and RM districts.
