"Last neighborhood before leaving the city"

Winchester Park is a large residential neighborhood located in the Far Northeast section of Philadelphia. Winchester Park is one of the last neighborhoods you will enter before leaving the city limits and crossing into Montgomery County.
Due to its far proximity from Center City, Winchester Park offers a quiet and peaceful environment to its residence. The area is made up of mostly two-story row homes along with detached single and double-family homes that include yards. It has a vibrant mix of residents including Italians, Poles, African Americans, Latinos, and Asians.
If you are a younger person, you might not want to live in Winchester Park. This area is more suited for families looking for a quiet place to raise their kids or elderly residents. There is not a lot of bars or restaurant choices, making nightlife options in Winchester Park view and far between.
Everything is also spread out, so you will need a car to get to work, run errands, and get around. Public transportation is available in Winchester Park, but even the bus stops are far away from each other.
Winchester Park is great if you desire a bit of the suburban lifestyle. Its close proximity to Pennypack Park gives the area a more rural feel than other parts of Philly.
Pros
  • Nice houses
  • Close-knit
  • Quiet
Cons
  • Need a car to get places
  • Spread out
