Sharswood House for Sale

Sharswood, located in Philadelphia, is undergoing significant revitalization driven by the Philadelphia Housing Authority's multi-phase project, which includes new homes and businesses. The neighborhood features a mix of 20th-century rowhomes, many newly renovated, and modern townhomes with contemporary designs, some offering rooftop terraces with views of the Center City skyline. SEPTA city buses and trolleys provide convenient transportation options, with stops near Girard College, a highly rated private boarding school. Sharswood's proximity to Brewerytown and Center City, just a mile away, adds to its appeal. The recent opening of a Grocery Outlet at 21st Street and Ridge Avenue has addressed the area's long-standing grocery store shortage, complemented by an ALDI further west. Dining options include ERA, a dive bar known for Ethiopian cuisine, and various take-out spots. The Martin Luther King Rec Center and Athletic Recreation Center offer extensive recreational programs, including boxing, basketball, and youth baseball. Sharswood's rich jazz history is celebrated through annual Jazzin’ Up the Ridge performances, fostering community spirit with live music and local vendors.
