The 2200 block of W. Thompson St., along with the surrounding area, is quickly transitioning. There have been a ton of demolitions and much new construction and rehab. The site is just two blocks south of Philadelphia Housing Authority’s massive mixed income Sharswood redevelopment, a few blocks east of burgeoning Brewerytown, and a few blocks north of long gentrified Fairmount and Girard Avenue’s attractive commercial district.
The neighborhood is an increasingly appealing place to live.
