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.
