Powelton Village condos are set within a neighborhood of mostly Victorian twin homes in the West Philadelphia section of the city. A highly esteemed national historic district, Powelton Village condos are part of what is known as University City. The neighborhood extends north from Market Street to Spring Garden Street, east to 32nd Street, west to 40th and Spring Garden Streets, and to 44th and Market Streets.
Powelton Village was named after the Powel Family, seventeenth and eighteenth-century Welsh colonialists who held extensive estates in the area. By the 1960s, the area emerged to become the home of many members of the counterculture movement. Even today, Powelton Village condos are among those who practice strong political activism.
Powelton Village’s Lancaster Avenue is wonderfully lined with shops, restaurants and other various retail stores. Powelton residents, including those who own Powelton Village condos, and college students help to support the area’s thriving businesses.
Powelton Village condos, apartments, and historical Victorian twin houses dot the neighborhood, along with an abundance of trees and gardens. The area has experienced a surge in home values, with some Powelton Village condos selling for several hundred thousand dollars.
At the southern end of Powelton Village exists property owned by Philadelphia’s Drexel University. There are several students from Drexel that live off-campus in Powelton Village condos and other urban-structured row-house apartments because of the short, desirable walk to campus.
