"Tiny but cute"
Woodland Terrace is smaller neighborhood in West Philadelphia that spans from Baltimore Pike to Woodland Ave and 40th and 41st. It is an extremely pretty neighborhood with tree-lined streets and large “Italianate twin” mansions.
Most of the homes in this area are owned or divided into apartments and rented. They are also in decent condition with maintained yards and floral gardens. The property value of Woodland Terrace is high because of its location and condition.
Woodland Terrace is located in what is known as the “West Philadelphia Streetcar Suburb Historic District” because this represents the transformation of farmland to urban residential development. Trolleys are still accessible from Woodland Terrace to Center City. And there is off street parking for automobiles.
The Woodlands Cemetery is also within each of this neighborhood. In addition to many notable burials like Civil War general John Joseph Abercrombie and artist Rembrandt Peale the cemetery also has a community garden and an apiary.
Clark Park, the shops on Baltimore Avenue and many other great locations in West Philadelphia are within bike or walking distance of Woodland Terrace. In addition it's near U Penn, Penn Hospital and CHOP which is great for students or faculty of those locations.
