About Upper

Kensington

Upper Kensington, located between Fishtown and Frankford, is a residential and industrial Philadelphia neighborhood with rowhouse blocks and working-rail corridors. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Kensington Avenue and Allegheny Avenue, where corner bodegas, taquerias, discount shops, and SEPTA’s elevated tracks set a fast, street-level rhythm. Brick twins and narrow rowhomes mix with converted warehouses and light-manufacturing buildings along the old freight spurs. Harrowgate Park adds a broad green break from the hardscape. Talleris Pizza anchors a long-running local food tradition. The Market-Frankford Line frames daily movement and the neighborhood’s gritty, utilitarian geometry.
