Built as a streetcar suburb in the 1800s, the Walnut Hill neighborhood sits about four miles west of Center City in Philadelphia. Well-preserved rowhomes speak to the neighborhood's rich history, with large, ornate houses for rent in an area known for its friendly, welcoming vibe. Locals run the Walnut Hill Community Association, which works to keep the neighborhood revitalized.

Walnut Hill keeps residents connected to downtown Philadelphia and beyond with a robust public transportation system, including neighborhood stops on the El, along with multiple city bus routes.
