Port Richmond is a neighborhood located in the lower Northeast section of Philadelphia. This peaceful blue-collar, family-friendly enclave is primarily a residential neighborhood filled with row homes and a spattering of townhomes, single-family homes and a few condos situated along narrow, tree-lined streets. Locally owned corner stores that sell food and other essentials can be found on every block. Continuous construction on Aramingo Avenue has increased accessibility to numerous stores, banks, restaurants, and gas stations. The neighborhood is close to Columbus Boulevard, which features large chains like Target and Home Depot as well as many quaint mom-and-pop shops, restaurants and drinking establishments. Nightlife in Port Richmond can range from close to home at a few sports bars, pubs and karaoke places extending to Fishtown and Northern Liberties which boast of extensive dining and nightlife opportunities. Despite boasting extensive family-friendly benefits such numerous schools, churches and community organizations, sale and rent prices remain low, and Port Richmond is growing extremely popular as Center City and surrounding Fishtown neighborhood prices climb. Port Richmond offers a safe and quaint option for young couples, families and young professionals who are ready to settle. Port Richmond is a diverse mix of immigrant groups whose rich ethnic traditions and cuisines contribute to the area’s vibrancy. It is very easy to get around the neighborhood on foot or on a bicycle due to everything being so close together. The major streets in the area are Allegheny Avenue, Aramingo Avenue and Richmond Street. I-95 runs parallel to Allegheny Avenue making it easy to get into the city by car. But as parking in Port Richmond isn’t ideal due to the narrow streets, many residents don’t own a car, and instead opt to use SEPTA, which offers service throughout the neighborhood via bus, train and trolley; all of which reach other sections of the city.
