Lawndale: Rail Access and Rowhouses in Northeast Philadelphia
Lawndale is a small Northeast Philadelphia neighborhood bounded approximately by Cheltenham Avenue to the north, Roosevelt Boulevard to the west, and Adams Avenue to the east, with Rising Sun Avenue and Oxford Avenue as significant interior corridors. The Lawndale station on SEPTA's Fox Chase Regional Rail Line provides commuter service into Center City. Rail access from the Reading Railroad era contributed to the area's early twentieth-century residential development.
Housing in Lawndale is dominated by two-story brick rowhomes and twin houses built mostly between 1920 and 1950, with a mix of smaller single-family homes near the park edges. Fisher Park, a modest Fairmount Park property, sits along the western boundary. Several Catholic parishes and school buildings, including St. William's, have been part of the community fabric for nearly a century.
Roosevelt Boulevard cuts through the area and carries most of the regional car traffic, while SEPTA Bus Route 14 serves the Rising Sun Avenue corridor for daily riders. Fern Rock Transportation Center, accessible by bus from Lawndale, provides onward connections to the Broad Street Line and Regional Rail service. This combination gives residents several options for reaching Center City without relying on the Fox Chase Line alone.
