Located in West Philadelphia directly across the Schuylkill River, Mantua is a historic neighborhood on the rise. Mantua has played several important roles in Philly’s rich history, from architecture that captured the world’s attention in the 19th century to being the headquarters for several community and youth organizations. Today, this up-and-coming neighborhood features renovated townhomes, brick rowhouses, apartments, and other rental options for a variety of budgets, although the area is known for its more affordable options. Mantua's art studios and murals showcase its thriving arts scene while parks and the Mantua Urban Peace Garden illustrate the neighborhood’s strong sense of community.
Mantua is gaining popularity because of its incredible location. Mantua sits directly north of Drexel University and the University of Pennsylvania. Fairmount Park, home to the Philadelphia Zoo and a plethora of museums, are just north of Mantua.

About the Listing Agent

Charissa Prince-Ferdinand
Elfant Wissahickon-Rittenhouse Square
Two passions of mine are real estate and dance, (three if you count my cat, Leyla). I stumbled into real estate while inquiring about a rental in NYC, and through a comedy of errors (I can fill you in over coffee when we meet), I became an agent and I absolutely love it! Being part of this world allows me to help you, buy, sell, or rent your home sweet home. I won’t quit until you have the perfect fit. I hold professionalism and building relationships based on trust as my highest priority. Buying or selling your home is an emotional experience no matter what and I am here to make those bumps as smooth as possible. It is important to me that you see your home not only through an emotional lens, but also as an empowered and educated client. I am your trusted advisor. I fell in love with Philly’s spirit of industry, thriving arts scene, and historic charm. I left NYC and have been putting the queen in Queen Village for the past 8 years! When I am not touring homes, consulting on getting a home listing ready, or keeping closings on track, you will find me with my dancing shoes on. In my past life, I was the manager of Society Hill Dance Academy, and have continued my love of all types of dance over the years. I’m often spotted anywhere you’ll find burlesque or cutting the rug at Ballroom Concierge. Hitting the town also involves a hang with friends at Tattooed Mom or ordering too much sushi at Fat Salmon (wait, can you ever order too much sushi?). Come say hi to me at an open house, give me a call or drop me an email or text. I am here to help and can not wait to meet and get started!
