Family life in Graduate Hospital
Julian Abele Park and the Marian Anderson Recreation Center are places to get to know as you explore with family. Pick the stop that fits your interests and walk there from a home you like. Then add the childcare, school or grocery trip that would be part of the same afternoon.
Think about how you would use each bedroom, both now and as your needs change. Check the stairs to laundry, the separation between bedrooms and the main living area, and where bikes or a stroller would go. A roof deck and a rear patio serve different daily purposes.
Schools and childcare
Use the School District of Philadelphia enrollment and school finder resources for the exact home address. Confirm assignment and enrollment details with the district, including any application process for another school option.
Use Pennsylvania's COMPASS child care search to start a provider search. Contact providers about age groups, hours, availability and pickup arrangements, then try the trip from the home.
Finding the right home here
Review the quality and documentation of renovations or new construction. Check drainage, basement conditions and deck details. For a garage or assigned space, confirm dimensions and access so you know how it would work with your own car.

Daily life, parking and getting around
Spend some time on South Street West and then head down the home's block. Try the trip toward Broad Street or across the South Street Bridge, depending on where you're going. A weekday visit will help you picture the commute alongside the parts of the neighborhood you already enjoy.
Use SEPTA's current trip planner for the journey and travel time you expect to keep. If you drive, verify parking terms and access for the specific home.
