A small-town community close to Center City

Clifton Heights is close enough to enjoy the endless amenities of Center City but far enough to feel like a small-town community. Walkable playgrounds, community sports leagues and convenient everyday amenities are just a few of the reasons why families move to the red-brick rowhomes in Clifton Heights. Community spirit is usually hard to come by in big cities like Philadelphia, but Nick DeLuca says this small-town neighborhood is different. The long-time local and Coldwell Banker real estate agent explains, “You’ll see familiar faces everywhere you go because it’s one of those neighborhoods where everybody knows everybody.”

Red-brick rowhomes and historic twin homes

Colonial rowhomes and vernacular twin homes dating back to the 1920s sit slanted on the sloping streets in Clifton Heights. Narrow stairways with iron handrails connect front doors to the concrete sidewalks below. Some two-story detached homes along the neighborhood's south border offer long driveways and spacious green lawns. Most rowhomes offer private with short driveways and attached garages. Still, many residents with more than one car have to park on the streets. The dense woodlands of Poquessing Valley Park shade fenced-in backyards throughout Clifton Heights.

Westbrook Market is the local go-to for fresh-cut deli meats

The ACME Markets and Giant Food Store are two convenient places to buy everyday groceries, but Nick DeLuca says Westbrook Market is a staple in Clifton Heights. The long-time local and real estate agent with Coldwell Banker Realty notes, “A lot of people love that little market because it’s within walking distance, and they have a butcher who cuts fresh deli meats.” After stopping by Westbrook Market, locals can walk next door to pick up an easy dinner at Best Quality Pizza.

The Darby Trail is the one of the neighborhood’s newest additions

The neighborhood’s new tree-shaded nature trail sits on the edge of Darby Creek, offering up-close views of the rocky waterfalls. Tucked alongside the creek, the Clifton Heights Swim Club is a popular place for families to have cookouts and cool off during the summer. Flat sidewalks connect to toddler-sized play lots on street corners throughout the neighborhood. A larger playground with tall slide towers sits next to the softball fields at Shisler Park. The Clifton Heights Athletic Fields are home to the community’s two youth sports organizations, the Boys Club and the Police Athletic Club.
