The Location Living in Roxborough means having the best of both worlds: a small-town community feel with big-city accessibility. Outdoor Paradise: Just minutes from the scenic trails of Wissahickon Valley Park and the green spaces of Gorgas Park. Dining & Shopping: Walkable to the vibrant Ridge Avenue corridor, home to local favorites like New Ridge Brewing Co., White Yak, and the legendary cheesesteak rivalry between Dalessandro’s and Chubby’s. Commuter’s Dream: Easy access to Kelly Drive, I-76, and the Ivy Ridge SEPTA Regional Rail station for a quick ride into Center City or out to the suburbs. Investment Potential This home is being sold as-is, allowing you to skip the "flip" premium and invest your budget exactly where you want it.
