Living in Fairmount & Spring Garden

The Art Museum area, often just called Fairmount, runs from the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the end of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway north toward Girard Avenue, with Eastern State Penitentiary at its heart. Fairmount Avenue is lined with restaurants and bars, and Kelly Drive, Boathouse Row and the Schuylkill River Trail are a short walk away.

Spring Garden, to the east, is known for its grand 19th-century brownstones and tree-lined streets, and Francisville sits just north.

Victorian and Italianate brownstones, classic brick rowhomes, many converted into condos, and new construction on the neighborhood’s edges. Park and museum access make this one of the most consistently in-demand parts of the city.

Town & Line has sold homes across Spring Garden, Fairmount and Francisville for years, and knows how condo conversions, parking and outdoor space affect value in this part of the city.
