Live the sporting life in the Art Museum/Fairmount areas, with easy access to the Schuylkill River and Fairmount Park. Enjoy jogging, biking and skating along scenic Kelly Drive or walk to the boathouses for your morning row. The Philadelphia Museum of Art and its grounds serve the neighborhood as a backyard, playground and meeting spot to enjoy views of the skyline and the river. Pennsylvania Avenue is lined with some of the city’s finest large residential buildings, and the smaller streets are filled with 19th-century brick rowhouses.

Area restaurants follow the same locally-owned, small town feel of the rest of the neighborhood by creating a comfortable atmosphere that inspires socializing among locals. These family-style eateries are representative of the neighborhood's tight-knit communal feel. Outdoor dining is a big hit in Fairmount and the sidewalks are typically filled with jovial diners in the evenings, creating an elegant and picturesque scene that is enjoyable to witness and take part in. Just far enough away from “the city,” young families are investing in a life here, drawn in equal stead by the proximity to beautiful green space and the thriving food scene.
