Established residential blocks along Pennypack Park
In a vast network of grassy, residential blocks between Cottman Avenue and Pennypack Park, Fox Chase provides a blend of urban and suburban comforts outside of downtown Philadelphia. “There’s a lot of local businesses, it’s one of the few places that still has a grocery store on the corner,” says Carol McCann, an Associate Broker at RE/MAX One Realty with 33 years of experience in Fox Chase. “Everybody sticks together. If you go on the Facebook group, there’s a lot of community involvement. You can know everything going on in the neighborhood.” Boasting plenty of local shopping, dining and recreation hubs, Fox Chase is also only a quick SEPTA Train trip away from all the amenities of Center City.
Route 232 provides commuters of Fox Chase direct access to Philadelphia.

Varied attached and detached suburban home styles
Sidewalk-lined blocks pack countless styles of homes from across eras throughout Fox Chase. “It’s not a cookie-cutter area,” McCann says. “There are buildings from the Victorian era and more modern split-levels. It’s pretty diverse.” Twin homes built from the 1920s through 1970s in a range of one- and two-story styles sell for $175,000 to $400,000. Equally varied single-family home styles sell for $200,000 to $600,000, ranging from early 20th century Cape Cods and midcentury ranch-style builds to new traditional construction from the 2000s in the Fox Run development. While some homes have private driveways, street-parked cars are found along most blocks, as are shady, mature trees.
Homes in Fox Chase often feature Tudor-style architecture.
