Location Overview

Neighborhoods
Philadelphia's neighborhoods are divided into large sections—North, Northeast, Northwest, West, South and Southwest Philadelphia—all of which surround Center City. Each of these large areas contains numerous neighborhoods, some of whose boundaries derive from the boroughs, townships, and
other communities that made up Philadelphia County before their absorption
into the city. For much of Philadelphia's history, the typical home has been
the row house. A variety of row houses are found throughout the city, from
Victorian-style homes in North Philadelphia to twin row houses in West
Philadelphia. While newer homes are scattered throughout the city, much of
the housing is from the early 20th century or older. The great age of the homes has created numerous problems, including blight and vacant lots in many parts of the city, while other neighborhoods such as Society Hill, which has the largest concentration of 18th-century architecture in the United States, have been rehabilitated and gentrified.

Transportation
Philadelphia is served by the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA), which operates buses,
trains, rapid transit, trolleys, and trackless trolleys throughout Philadelphia, the four Pennsylvania suburban counties of
Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery, in addition to service to Mercer County, New Jersey and New Castle
