About Far Northeast Philadelphia

Far Northeast Philadelphia — often called the 'Great Northeast' — is the quietest and most suburban-feeling section of the city while still being fully within Philadelphia limits. The neighborhood is known for its wide streets, ample parking, garden-style communities, and long-tenured residents.

Welsh Road runs the length of the Far Northeast, connecting residents to Pennypack Park, Roosevelt Boulevard, and the wide range of retail along the corridor. Philadelphia Mills, one of the region's largest outlet centers, is a short drive away.

The Far Northeast offers more space for the money than almost anywhere else in Philadelphia. For commuters, I-95 access is direct, and Boulevard Direct connects to Frankford Transit Center for the L into Center City.
