Bustleton, located between Pennypack Park and the city line at Southampton Road, is a residential and commercial Philadelphia neighborhood with broad arterial boulevards and a patchwork of postwar brick twins. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Bustleton Avenue and Red Lion Road, where strip plazas, bakeries, and long-running eateries line the traffic-heavy corridor. Community pillars include the historic Bustleton Library, the Greater Northeast Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, and the Ukrainian Educational and Cultural Center. Housing reads as practical and low-rise, with tidy blocks giving way to shopping centers along Roosevelt Boulevard. Pennypack Park’s trails and creek crossings add a green counterpoint to the car-oriented streetscape.

The RSD, Residential Single-Family Detached districts are primarily intended to accommodate detached houses on individual lots. It is intended that RSD zoning be applied in areas where the land use pattern is characterized predominately by detached houses on individual lots or where such a land use pattern is desired in the future. The Zoning Code includes three RSD districts that are differentiated primarily on the basis of minimum lot area requirements.
