Listed by Mr. Derek Greene• The Greene Realty Group
Paschall, located between Cobbs Creek Park and the Schuylkill River, is a residential and industrial Philadelphia neighborhood with rowhouse blocks and rail-and-warehouse edges. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Woodland Avenue near 65th Street, where corner takeouts, barbershops, and small storefronts line the trolley corridor. Community pillars include Bartram’s Garden, the Southwest Branch of the Free Library of Philadelphia, and the historic Bartram’s Mile river trail. Brick twins and porch-front rows define many side streets, with wider arterials carrying SEPTA routes. Cobbs Creek’s trails and ballfields shape daily routines, while nearby riverfront paths add a quieter counterpoint.
