A sense of community next to the city's largest park
Strawberry Mansion offers many home options for those seeking a well-established community next to Philadelphia's Center City with recreational amenities nearby. "This is a well-known neighborhood supported by a network of organizations and community groups. The area benefits from local programs and sits next to the biggest park in the city," says Kayla Harrell, a local medical student and longtime resident of Philadelphia. Students attend schools right in the neighborhood, and residents can walk to local corner markets.
Ample row houses to choose from
Strawberry Mansion is beautified by murals on the sides of row houses, a predominant housing style around the neighborhood. The community contains many traditional brick homes from the early 1900s with multi-color paint, adding a uniqueness that differentiates each property. Two-story row houses ranging from 700 to 1,200 square feet can enter the market under $100,000. A newly renovated property generally costs between $200,000 to $350,000. Most row homes come with narrow fenced-in backyards and no front yard as they're all lined up along the sidewalk.

Students don't have to leave the community
The community contains a handful of public K to 8 locations, such as Dr. Ethel D. Allen School and Blaine G. James School; both receive a C-minus from Niche. These students may move on to graduate from Strawberry Mansion High, also earning a C-minus grade. The high school offers courses for students looking to branch out into music engineering, photography, graphic design and culinary arts.

Shopping at mini markets or Strawberry Square
Shoppers can take a quick trip a few blocks from home to the nearest corner market. For everyday needs such as groceries and household items, many head to the center of town to Strawberry Square and stop by Save-a-Lot or Rite Aid, among other shops and restaurants. Some hungry locals sit down for bacon and eggs at the breakfast spot, Triple Joy, or stay home and have their meal delivered. Next door is New Star Pizza, but a few blocks away, patrons can order Detroit-style pies and milkshakes at Down North Pizza.

Recreational fun at Fairmont or the local center
"Fairmount Park is right at your fingertips," says Jon Sanborn, a real estate agent with over seven years of experience and an investor with Brotherly Love Properties. "So if you need to be close to the city for work, but like to get some outdoor time, Strawberry Mansion is a great option," Sanborn says. Residents can use the park's amenities, such as the onsite baseball, soccer or football fields, to support an active lifestyle. Kids can play at Joseph E. Mander Playground and cool off in the sprayground during summer. Boxer's Trail is a favorite for boxing champions like Smokin' Joe Frazier. Joggers pass beautiful statues and historic Colonial-era estates, including Strawberry Mansion, where the neighborhood gets its name. The community regularly gathers at C.B. Moore Recreation Center as well. With playground equipment, sports facilities and an outdoor pool, locals enjoy getting together for several year-round activities.

Events in Fairmont Park
Fairmont Park is also home to The Dell Music Center, a large amphitheater where locals around the city can catch concerts from national touring artists and attend monthly community events. The large public greenspace is also home to the annual Philadelphia Polo Classic, where thousands of people show up to watch the equestrian sport's greatest champions.
A community supported through local organizations
Local groups support the established community and its residents through a network of organizations and programs. Strawberry Mansion CDC is a neighborhood-based nonprofit focusing on residential and economic development, revitalization and preservation. The nonprofit collaborates with local organizations to offer supportive programs such as home repair for historic properties, beautification and vacant lot maintenance. Strawberry Mansion Learning Center provides tutoring and mentoring programs for local students as well as summer camps. Locals can find more resources at Widener Library, which offers job search assistance and workshops for kids; there is also an Indego bike share station outside the building.
