Locals dwell in close proximity to Kensington Avenue’s subway stations and the city’s many SEPTA bus stops, making for quick commutes throughout the area. Not far from the essentials with the added bonus of affordable youth programming, Juniata Park is, at its heart, accessible.

Midcentury rowhomes in Juniata Park
The rowhomes in Juniata Park were largely constructed in the midcentury, many flaunting small, front patios where residents can store bikes or set up furniture. Ranging in price from $100,000 to $400,000, most properties hover somewhere in the middle, around $200,000. While street parking is the norm, some homes come with back alleyways with attached garages. Others have cemented backyard space for storage and potted plants. “I remember the area was once referred to as ‘the garden spot’ in the 60s,” says real estate agent Ray Hogeland of Georgette M. Innes Inc. “I assume it’s because people would grow gardens on their front lawn.” Today, front lawns aren’t common. But plenty of sidewalk space allows locals to comfortably walk their dogs or stroll with friends.
Rowhomes in Juniata Park come in many varieties with interesting entrances.
Many Juniata Park homes come with patios out front, providing a nice place to relax.

Community recreation and affordable youth sports
“Juniata Park itself is a hub of activity,” says Hogeland. “You’ll always see kids playing there.” The park’s playground and sprayground are ideal for warm, summer afternoons. But perhaps the biggest draw is its proximity to Tacony Creek Park, a 300-acre natural area with trails cutting through the native wildlife. Hikers can even find connection points to the Delaware River Trail and Frankford Creek Greenway. Piccoli Playground has eclectic equipment for children alongside ball fields and a community pool. Local golfers can check out Juanita Golf Club, while Lighthouse Sports & Entertainment Complex provides youth sports programs for every season at an affordable rate.
Young, Juniata Park residents gather at Piccoli Park for a friendly game of basketball.
