I love the community feel of Roxborough. The proximity to the Wissahickon Park makes you feel less in the city. I also enjoy being so close to Manayunk, which has many events throughout the year. Even during COVID-19!
I could not possibly choose just one thing to like about Roxborough. There are so many things to like! Every single person here is so friendly and very welcoming. The location is great because we are a 15 minute drive from the city and there are many local shops that are in walking range. The schools here are great as well. There are a good selection of public, private and catholic schools. The place is very family oriented and we have many parks and recreational facilities for family’s to go to and be a part of. Philadelphia is also the home of the super bowl champs everyone would love to live here. Go Birds !
I love my neighborhood. Roxborough is full of fun activities, culture, great places to eat and visit and history. Ive been a resident for over 5 years now, and have never once felt like my life was in danger or that I was not safe. I can walk down the street without worrying that I will be robbed or that harm may come to me. What I also enjoy is there is a lot of areas to exercise. Their are 3 gym in my area, along with bike, hiking trails nearby. Manyunk is not to far from my house (which is like an upscale South Street). There is great restaurants and stores nearby and a lot of Art influences that make the community beautiful. I feel blessed to live here and would recommend starting a family in this area.
