This is an ideal location for commuting. You are a 5 minute walk to the El and bus routes and a short drive to I-95/ I-76. Vibrant Frankford Ave is within walking distance to enjoy concerts at the Fillmore, a comedy show at Punchline, a casual shopping date with a friend and experiencing some of the top rated restaurants in Philly.
