If you work at Nazareth Hospital, your commute shouldn't eat into the little downtime a hospital schedule leaves you. The good news: some of Northeast Philadelphia's best-value apartments sit within a few minutes of the hospital — including one you can walk to.
Why renters choose the area around Nazareth Hospital
Nazareth Hospital sits in Rhawnhurst, one of Northeast Philadelphia's most established residential neighborhoods. For the nurses, techs, and staff who keep the hospital running around the clock, living nearby means shorter commutes, easier shift changes, and no fighting Roosevelt Boulevard traffic at 6 a.m. It's also a genuinely livable neighborhood — tree-lined streets, local diners, Pennypack Park, and Roosevelt Mall all within reach.
Longwood Manor: a 7-minute walk from the hospital
If proximity is the priority, Longwood Manor is hard to beat. The community sits on a quiet residential block on Hoffnagle Street, about a 7-minute walk from Nazareth Hospital — close enough to walk to a shift, far enough to feel residential. An ACME supermarket and a Rite Aid are directly across the street, which matters when your schedule doesn't line up with normal store hours.
The apartments are known for high ceilings, large kitchens, and generous storage, with hardwood floors in most units. One-bedrooms run 716 square feet starting around $1,370, and two-bedrooms are 932 square feet starting around $1,658 — roughly 15% below the Northeast Philadelphia average. Cats and dogs are welcome, and there's free surface-lot parking, so a night-shift arrival never means circling the block.
Getting to work — and everywhere else
Beyond the walk to Nazareth, the location is a commuter's asset. Roosevelt Boulevard (Route 1) is two minutes away, a SEPTA bus stop is half a block from the building, and I-95 is a short drive for anyone commuting to other facilities or into Center City. Pennypack Park is minutes away for decompressing after a long shift.
What to know before you tour
Longwood Manor is a smaller, well-maintained community, so availability moves quickly — especially the two-bedrooms. Pet fees and any breed restrictions vary, so confirm with the leasing office when you call. Because rents sit below the neighborhood average, it's a popular choice for healthcare workers who want quality without a Center City price tag.
