Roxborough Real Estate | Philadelphia, PA 19128
By Jon Miller, Keller Williams Realty
I love helping clients with Roxoborough real estate. Roxborough and the nearby communities of Manayunk and East Falls are some of my favorite parts of the city. In fact, I love it so much that when it came time to buy our home, my wife and I chose to live in Roxborough, Philadelphia.
Roxborough Real Estate has so much to offer in both the types of homes available, the value, amenities in the area, and it's location.
Homes in Roxborough, Philadelphia
Much of Roxborough was developed in the early 1900's, though Upper Roxborough was mostly developed after 1950. Prior to the development boom, the area was occupied by owner's of the mills in Manayunk. Eventually, homes were built for managers and workers in the mills.
Today, Roxborough is a thriving community with many remnants of the old days including large Victorian homes, twin homes, and rowhouses. If you prefer new construction Roxborough real estate, there's plenty of recently built homes and new development. Roxborough has become a great area to invest, even making Philadelphia Magazine's list of "Top 10 Places to Invest in Philadelphia Right Now."
Roxborough is made up of numerous smaller neighborhoods and communites. There is something for everyone looking for anything from an urban residential neighborhood to suburban subdivisions.
