Living in Mount Airy
Eclectic Mount Airy is mostly residential, but that doesn’t make it dull. It’s a northwest Philly neighborhood that’s undergoing a welcome renaissance. Along Germantown Avenue—the main drag—restaurants and shops attract young families keen on character. Reasonable rents and relative safety combine with a small town vibe to give Mount Airy apartments a welcoming atmosphere.
Mount Airy is named after the estate of William Allen, Chief Justice of the Province of Pennsylvania. His home was built on Germantown Avenue in 1750. Most of the area saw development much later, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Historically, Mount Airy was part of Germantown. These days it can be challenging to know precisely where the border between the two lies.

There’s also the 1920s Art Deco Sedgwick Theater where you can catch a film. Wissahickon Gorge forms the neighborhood’s western border and there are scattered playgrounds around as well.
