Enjoy being steps from the Overbrook train station for a quick Center City commute and just minutes from City Avenue's shops and restaurants.

Overbrook Farms' lush, tree-lined streets and signature early 20th-century architecture make it one of Philly's most cherished hidden gems. Opportunities like this don't come around often, a property with deep roots, timeless appeal, and endless potential, ready for its next chapter in one of Philadelphia's most storied enclaves.
