Brewers Hill

Brewers Hill is a neighborhood in the southeast section of the city. Eastern Avenue, South Haven Street, Dillon Street and South Conking Street generally form the borders of this neighborhood. The neighborhood is a mixture of commercial and residential uses. Homes here are attached single-family structures and are the typical “row home” style structures found just about everywhere in the city.

One of the nice things about this neighborhood is the large number of restaurants in the area, particularly along Eastern Avenue. Shopping is limited to a few neighborhood specialty stores, however there is a Walgreens nearby. Although there are no schools actually in the neighborhood, the Bishop John Neumann School and Friendship Academy of Math are nearby. Access to public transportation is available with many bus stops scattered throughout the neighborhood. Commuters will like the ease of access to I-95. As is the case with many neighborhoods in the city, there is a set of railroad tracks near South Haven Street, which can be noisy at times. One really negative aspect of the neighborhood is the lack f dedicated green space here, although Patterson Park is nearby.

Like many neighborhoods in large cities, crimes against people and property can occur at any time and crime rates can vary from street to street and day to day. As always, check recent crime statistics to make an informed decision on any neighborhood you are considering living in or visiting.

This may be a neighborhood worth checking out., especially if you can find a deal on a place to live. It is close to the water and commuting routes. I also like to eat out so the number of restaurants is appealing. Be sure to check into the noise from the train tracks and make sure you are ok without a neighborhood park.
