East Kensington

"East Kensington is a great place to live, since we moved here in 2018 we have been very happy with ; local grocery stores, store fronts, restaurants, schools I have heard are okay. We have no kids, but all of our neighbors do. "

"East Kensington is very accessible to the central business district. It’s a five minute walk to the El and ten minute ride to Center City."

"It’s an okay neighborhood it’s pretty quiet beside the addicts who keep migrating closer and closer which o really think they need to do something about subtract the addicts and it’s a really nice neighborhood to raise your children "

"Parking is horrible!! Even worst in the winter. If you don’t put out a piece of furniture in the spot you shoveled, you will be looking for parking blocks away. But not as bad as the drug use and prostitution issue here!"

"Most commute on the El or by bus. A car is helpful but not necessary."

"Not enough convenience stores. There's only one called Quick Stop and it's terrible. Food, service and safety are horrible at this store. There is only one safe park to go to in this area which is Conrad Square Park and the pizza places are lousy including Pizza Brain which is too high priced. No laundromats close by and there used to be two of them on Frankford ave in this area. I lived here my whole life and this area has gone downhill and the "New" restaurant up the street "The Pickled Heron" is ridiculous with prices that are very un affordable!! These places belong in Center City not in a neighborhood where people work hard for their money and deserve better!!"
