Parkwood Manor: Planned Postwar Housing in the Far Northeast
Parkwood Manor, often shortened to Parkwood, is a Far Northeast Philadelphia neighborhood developed as a planned community starting in the late 1950s. The Korman Corporation designed and built much of the area with a focus on single-family homes, twin houses, and low-rise apartment complexes, aimed at attracting young families leaving the older parts of Philadelphia. The housing stock reflects that period, with ranches, splits, and colonials on curvilinear streets rather than the traditional Philadelphia rowhome grid.
The neighborhood is bounded roughly by Knights Road to the east, Woodhaven Road to the north, and the Poquessing Creek and Bucks County line on its outer edges. Parkwood Shopping Center on Byberry Road has served the community as its primary retail hub since the 1960s. The Franklin Mills Mall, opened in 1989 and later renamed Philadelphia Mills, is a short distance to the north and served as a major regional shopping draw for decades.
Much of Parkwood's layout reflects the planned postwar development pattern of the 1950s and 1960s, with single-family homes and small apartment complexes arranged along curving streets rather than a traditional grid. Byberry Road and Academy Road frame the area and serve as the principal east-west routes. Poquessing Creek and extensions of the Pennypack Park system run adjacent to portions of the neighborhood, providing wooded green space along the city's outer edge.
