Fairmount & the Art Museum
Brownstones, boathouses, and the park
Fairmount, the Art Museum area, is the close-knit brownstone neighborhood between the Schuylkill River and the culture block of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Boathouse Row, the Museum's steps, and Fairmount Park sit minutes from home, and the Broad Street Line connects straight downtown. Families and professionals who want city life with green space and quiet streets gravitate here.
The Vibe
