There is a very defined and obvious line of homeowners and renters in this neighborhood. You can tell my mother's house is the last building of home owned properties on my block by the clean swept neat front yards and sidewalks right across from trash and cigarette littered overgrown patches of grass.
The evening air is hard to enjoy with the scent of marijuana drifting down the block. The convenience of a national chain pharmacy and major transportation hub is dampered by the wind tossed litter swirling around the corner hustlers on my short 5 minute walk to center city bound train and cross town buses.
My immediate neighbors adjacent to the house are friendly and considerate so we gladly take turns shoveling each others sidewalks. We do worry about the rare stray bullets in those hot summer nights where people's tempers tend to flare up.
Overall, our home is situated in a very convenient yet dodgy after 10pm kind of neighborhood. About to celebrate a decade in Frankford.

It's a 20-minute ride to downtown or north to the malls. Frankford is home to the Septa Terminal, ( public transportation) it links to Amtrak and Patco. You can catch a ride anywhere. short walk trip to convenience stores, gas stations, the Frankford hospital, clinics, or gyms. It's active in the daytime and dangerous at night ( police/ ambulance sirens/ dog barking). Neighbors are usually selfish. Frankford Ave is home to prostitutes, drug dealers, and homeless. The farther away from Frankford Ave. the better. Wandering children like to stir up trouble. Make sure to lock up at night, that neighborhood is prone to break-ins/burglary. It's better than it was but only if the police keep up their presence there. Philadelphia is very saturated, high unemployment. If you don't know someone to get you in the door in even the smallest jobs, the job interview will be wasted.
Public transportation is convenient due to the el and frequent bus routes, shopping centers are nearby and walking distance. It isn't too expensive to live but i'd rather pay more for a piece of mind. This area isn't too safe.
