They should show the gas and electric meters on the front elevation.
Affordable senior housing just down the street.
It looks like development on both sides of the street.
Septa bus routes 39 and 47 are just down the block.
Not much shopping around.
I keep bringing up the same issues regarding new construction in this area. Where are the restaurants, dry cleaners, food shopping which should be springing up here? How can you live in a place with no support services whatsoever?
There is a great Cousins Supermarket at Germantown and Norris (6 blocks or so distance), plenty of fast food, small food markets and small restaurants in the area especially along Lehigh Ave between 10th and 5th Streets and you are close to Temple Univ with it’s support businesses along Broad Street. Also many gyms and workout businesses.
Thanks for the info! Do most of the people who move into these buildings have cars? It seems to me that 6 blocks away is pretty far to do my grocery shopping. ( or maybe I’m just out of touch and everybody uses Instacart?).
I have never lived in Philly but my daughter lives in Hartranft (spelling?) where there is a LOT of new residential building happening. I only get my info from Google Maps, but I sure do see a lot of housing next to vacant lots. Seems like a great opportunity for businesses to move in as well.
I agree with you Peg 100% on this development.
I grew up in Northeast Philadelphia and we had huge shopping malls, full size supermarkets (not those compromised mini-marts), movie theaters, huge parks and so much more.
Unfortunately, this development is located in a very dense part of the city where compromises are expected.
The 6×20 foot second floor rear deck will bring lots of fun.
Google Maps September 2023 shows vacant 2334 Germantown Ave. (along with equally vacant 2328, 2330, 2332, and 2336 Germantown) behind a tall solid metal fence and being used for vehicle storage, possibly by H.I.M. Auto Repair next door. Vehicular storage extends to North 8th Street.
Down the street is majestic King Solomon Baptist Church.
