Located on the banks of the Schuylkill River, this attractive residential area is becoming increasingly popular. Restored colonials dominate the waterfront scene, best known for its historic Boathouse Row that features lighted Tudor dwellings in a gingerbread village, sparkling like jewels in the dark waters of evening. Here, the imposing pillars of the Philadelphia Museum of Art grace the growing skyline. Water-sport enthusiasts are drawn to this neighborhood for the world-class sculling, canoeing, and kayaking that are available right at their own back door. Mass transit lends accessibility and convenience to this location.
