Powelton Village

Powelton Village brings together ornate Victorian houses, tree-lined streets and the northern edge of University City. It works best for travelers seeking a concise architecture walk that contrasts with nearby research campuses.

Powelton Village

Why go

Plan Powelton Village around a concise architecture walk that contrasts with nearby research campuses. Its defining thread is ornate Victorian houses, tree-lined streets and the northern edge of University City. Porches, towers and varied masonry distinguish the residential blocks. Visit in daylight and remain considerate of residents.

What to look for

  • Porches, towers and varied masonry distinguish the residential blocks.
  • Lancaster Avenue marks a busier commercial and transit edge.

Useful to know

  • Visit in daylight and remain considerate of residents.
  • Combine it with Drexel or 30th Street Station rather than making a special cross-city trip.
