4 neighborhoods in southern Philadelphia attract home buyers

4 neighborhoods in southern Philadelphia attract home buyers
South Philadelphia is home to many historic neighborhoods, where there are multi-storey houses, adjacent to new construction, waiting for Philadelphia residents to find life south of the central city.
The Lenape land, originally acquired by William Penn, eventually developed into one of the world’s largest shipping and trade centers. In 1854, the city government merged the area into Philadelphia. Over time, many Irish, African Americans, Italians, Poles and other immigrants came to settle in South Philadelphia, and the foundations of these cultures are now active in these areas.

4 South Philly neighborhoods attracting homebuyers

Many homes have brick exteriors and feature backyard spaces for homeowners
to lounge in after a day of work. Bordered by South Broad Street to the
west, Washington Avenue to the north, 6th street to the east, and Tasker
Street to the south, buyers love this neighborhood because it provides an
easy commute to West Philadelphia and Center City.
Passyunk holds a place in the hearts of many local residents and tourists
because it is the birthplace of the famed Philly Cheesesteak. Introduced in
the 1930s by Pat’s King of Steaks, the restaurateur reigned supreme until
Geno's Steaks opened up shop just across East Passyunk Avenue.

Neighbors, Parks & Rec celebrate renovations to Gold Star Park
The renovations to the park include new play equipment, safety surfacing and decorative borders. A basketball court that had previously been at the park was removed in favor of a larger grassy area.

Officials from Friends of Gold Star Park and Philadelphia Parks & Recreation gathered at Gold Star Park Tuesday afternoon to celebrate the space’s latest renovations.
“This is just one of seven new playgrounds that Philly Parks & Rec have opened, really, over the past year and I think if there’s one thing that we’ve learned over the past year – and I’m a father of three – is the importance of play spaces for our kids,” said Parks & Rec First Deputy Commissioner Patrick Morgan at the event. “One of the safest things you could be doing right now is … being outside.”

Community demands Sanctuary Schools in Philadelphia, a 'sanctuary city' – Workers World

Community demands Sanctuary Schools in Philadelphia, a ‘sanctuary city’
By Joe Piette posted on March 3, 2021
“Philadelphia has declared itself a ‘sanctuary city,’ but how can it be a sanctuary city without its schools being sanctuaries for all students?” asked Erika Guadalupe Nuñez of Juntos at a well-attended March 1 press conference outside the School District of Philadelphia headquarters.
Erika Guadalupe Nuñez speaking, March 1.
A major demand being directed at school officials is to set clear rules and better train staff and teachers on restrictions against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) involvement in city schools.
City Council members Helen Gym and Kendra Brooks spoke in support of the campaign, which began after ICE officers detained a pregnant mother over a year ago. She had just dropped off her child at Eliza B. Kirkbride Elementary School in February 2020 in the Passyunk Square neighborhood of Philadelphia. The action caused ripples of fear through immigrant and refugee communities.
