About This Home

As of May 2015

Nice price on this 3 bedroom rowhome! So much cheaper than rent! Good location in proximity to University City - Just over the Schuylkill River. 1538 South 30th Street has good transit which means many nearby public transportation options. Rail lines closeby. There are good bike lanes and the terrain is flat as a pancake and is very bikeable, biking is convenient for most trips. Car sharing is available from Zipcar and RelayRides. This location is Very Walkable so most errands can be accomplished on foot. There are 12 restaurants within a 15 minute walk. Nearby parks include Vare Playground, Stringer Park, Wharton Square, and Grays Ferry Crescent Trail Park. Nearby coffee shops include Dunkin' Donuts, Breezy's Cafe and OCF Coffee House. One-year Home Protection Warranty included. Make your appointment to see this one!
