Apartment Life in Southwest Philadelphia
Southwest Philadelphia is a neighborhood set west of the Schuylkill River, and includes the areas of Bartram, Eastwick, Elmwood Park, Hedgerow, Kingsessing, and Penrose Park. The known border is SEPTA's R3 line, which makes Center City easily accessible to residents. The signature look of Southwest Philadelphia is defined by the Queen Anne-style housing and the land bordering it is a section of industrial development. Another bonus is the proximity to the Philadelphia International Airport and Bartram's Garden, a picturesque botanic garden that serves as the oldest in North America.
Southwest Philadelphia is just seconds from I-95 and I-76, University City and the 291 Industrial Corridor.
