Bright, Stand-alone Fishtown - South Kensington Home

Available Dates:
From August 1, 2026 until September 1, 2027

Description

Furnished, 3-bedroom, 3.5 bath house available for rent in Fishtown, Philadelphia, PA. Location-wise, it doesn’t get better than this! Although Philly doesn’t have officially recognized neighborhood boundaries, the house is located at the confluence of Northern Liberties, Fishtown, and South (“Olde”) Kensington, with the main commercial orientation towards Girard St. and Frankford Ave (= many shops, restaurants, cafes, gyms etc). There’s a park across the street, and the neighbors are great. I’m within walking distance of Temple and Drexel, and Penn is one shot on the Market-Frankford Line. If you’re commuting to any of the suburban campuses, you could walk to Temple Station, or take the MFL to Jefferson Station (it takes 13 minutes, door-to-door), and hop on the Regional Rail there.
