University City Real Estate
Located just over the west side of the South Street Bridge lies the area known as University City, a desirable section of West Philadelphia, which caters to the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University students, staff, and alumni. University City boundaries surround 29th Street and the Schuylkill River to 50th Street; Spring Garden Street to Powelton Avenue and Market Street. University City is home to The University of Pennsylvania, Wharton Business School, the University’s Law/Medical/Dental Schools and Hospitals, as well as Drexel University and its newest Law School. It was known as Philadelphia’s first suburb, although it remains a part of Philadelphia. This dynamic neighborhood gets its distinctive spirit from the combination of college students, faculty, artists, and families. It is one of Philadelphia’s most varied and lively neighborhoods where you can find anything from gorgeous single homes in tiny tree-lined streets to contemporary condos with city views.
