The new architecture only adds to the aesthetic beauty of the neighborhood, which is ringed by 18th and 19th-century row homes and dotted with parks like Penn treaty and Konrad square. Bike lanes along Spring Garden Avenue provide eco friendly ways to get into and out of the neighborhood, as well as affording riders with a scenic route to through.
For anyone without a bike, there are plenty of bike shows like Jay’s Pedal Power on Girard Avenue to put novice and experienced riders alike on wheels, and the thrift shops in the neighborhood are perfect for finding the right style to go with a fixed gear.
