Beyond the home, enjoy easy access to Wissahickon Park, nearby Main Street Manayunk, and Ivy Ridge Shopping Center.

Showings start 10/8!
Upper Roxborough, located between Manayunk and Andorra, is a residential and hillside Philadelphia neighborhood with wooded park edges and a ridge-top main street. Ridge Avenue concentrates the neighborhood’s character, where corner delis, longtime taverns, and small service storefronts line the slope. Dalessandro’s Steaks, Union Tap House, and the historic Leverington Cemetery act as local pillars with deep roots. Twin and rowhomes mix with mid-century splits, set on curving streets that follow the terrain. The Wissahickon’s trails and creek valleys shape daily rhythms, while SEPTA’s regional rail stops add a commuter cadence. Views open and close with the hills, giving blocks a tucked-away, outdoors-forward feel.
