Walnut Hill, located between University City and Cobbs Creek, is a residential and historic Philadelphia neighborhood with Victorian-era streetscapes and pocket parks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Walnut Street near 46th Street, where corner stores, takeout counters, and stoops set a steady, lived-in rhythm. Landmark architecture ranges from stone twins to ornate porches and bay-window rowhomes, with mature trees softening the blocks. Clark Park and its year-round farmers market shape weekend routines, while the Woodlands Cemetery adds a quiet, landscaped edge. The University of Pennsylvania’s Penn Museum and the Institute of Contemporary Art anchor nearby cultural outings. SEPTA’s Market–Frankford Line at 46th Street ties the area to Center City and West Philly corridors.

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.
