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 are mostly what you'll find when visiting 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.
