Grays Ferry, located between the Schuylkill River and Point Breeze, is a residential and industrial Philadelphia neighborhood with rowhouse blocks and riverfront infrastructure. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Grays Ferry Avenue at Washington Avenue, where corner delis, auto shops, and small storefronts line a steady stream of traffic. Bartram’s Garden anchors the area with riverside paths and historic grounds. The Schuylkill River Trail adds a long, linear corridor for walking and biking along the water. Brick twins and porch-front rows mix with warehouses and rail-adjacent streetscapes. I-76 and the Grays Ferry Bridge frame the edges with a constant sense of motion.
The RSA, Residential Single-Family Attached districts are primarily intended to accommodate attached and semi-detached houses on individual lots, but may be applied in areas characterized by a mix of housing types, including detached houses. The districts are also intended to provide a density transition between RSD districts and RM districts. The Zoning Code includes five RSA districts that are differentiated primarily on the basis of minimum lot area requirements.
