Welcome to North Philadelphia

Also referred to as North Philly, is an eclectic, widespread section of the city. It is usually described as an area north of Center City, between Front Street and Fairmount Park.
 
The full extent of North Philadelphia is somewhat vague, as the term is regarded as everything north of Vine and Spring Garden Street, between Northwest and Northeast Philadelphia. In fact, North Philadelphia is something of a catch-all term referring to various neighborhoods located throughout the general area of the city. City government views this sprawling portion of Philadelphia more precisely as the amalgamation of three distinct districts:
 
Lower North Philadelphia: Spring Garden Street to the south, Dauphin Street to the north

Upper North Philadelphia: Dauphin Street to the south, Wyoming Avenue to the north

Olney-Oak Lane: Wyoming Avenue to the south, Philadelphia city limits to the north
 
Notable neighborhoods and sections throughout North Philadelphia include:
 
  • Brewerytown

  • Fairmount

  • Northern Liberties

  • Fishtown

  • Glenwood

  • Poplar

  • Sharswood

  • Strawberry Mansion

  • Yorktown

  • And beyond!
While the exact borders of North Philadelphia are — to a certain extent — up for debate, there’s no shortage of captivating history, impressive architecture, cultural diversity, and institutional pillars of the community that continues to shape this dynamic area in its entirety.
