Drexel Hill Homes for Rent

Drexel Hill, located three miles from West Philadelphia, offers a suburban lifestyle with leafy residential streets and a small-town feel, despite its proximity to the city. The neighborhood is characterized by its long-standing local businesses, such as Ramsey’s Service Center on Burmont Road, which has been family-operated since 1949. Burmont Road features a variety of local businesses, including popular spots like Brother’s Pizza & Restaurant and Hanrahan’s Irish Pub, where residents gather to watch sports and socialize. For everyday shopping, Township Line Road on the north side of town hosts big box retailers and supermarkets. Housing in Drexel Hill ranges from single-family homes built between the 1920s and 1960s, including Colonial and Dutch Colonial Revivals, to more compact Philadelphia-style rowhouses and twins. The neighborhood also has new three-story twin houses with rooftop terraces. Drexel Hill is home to the Darby Creek Trail and Naylors Run Park, offering outdoor activities like fishing, picnicking, and walking paths. The Dermond Recreation Area provides numerous youth sports leagues. Commuters can access Center City Philadelphia via a 15-minute SEPTA train ride to 69th Street Transportation Center, followed by a 20-minute ride to Center City, or an 8-mile drive. I-95 and Philadelphia International Airport are both seven miles away.
