Castor Highlands, located between Castor Avenue and Cottman Avenue, is a residential and commercial Philadelphia neighborhood with brick rowhomes and small corner storefronts. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Castor Ave and Cottman Ave crossroads, where bakeries, takeout counters, and service shops keep the sidewalks in motion. Mid-century twins and tidy porches set a practical streetscape, with pockets of greenery breaking up the grid. The Roosevelt Boulevard edge adds a steady hum of traffic and retail. Nearby pillars include the historic Boulevard Drive-In, the Northeast Regional Library, and the Mayfair Theater.
