Elmwood Reviews
Rating 2.85 out of 5 27 reviews
People tend to move out a lot, so the newer neighbors become more to them selves and younger the more they swap out. There is not much criminal activity if any, there is a pizza shop around the corner, two mini-shopping centers close by, a few churches and hair salons down the street. This place is also generally quiet if not for few home celebrations on the weekends. It is also very diverse in terms of race.
Where I live, it could be better. In my years growing up in the same neighborhood, I barely got to know what's around. However, very recently, I got to know the downtown area, even better than my own neighborhood. If you ask me directions, I would know exactly what you are talking about.
My neighborhood isn't bad compared to other ares in philly, but i wouldn't recommend any of my loved ones to live in the area.
