Fairmount is Philadelphia's museum district neighborhood and arguably one of the best-kept secrets for buyers who want access to Center City, walkability, and genuine neighborhood character without paying Rittenhouse Square prices. The neighborhood runs along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway and borders Fairmount Park, giving residents immediate access to miles of trails, the Schuylkill River, and some of the city's most iconic cultural institutions, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Barnes Foundation, and the Eastern State Penitentiary. The housing stock is predominantly classic Philadelphia rowhomes and brownstones, with a mix of owner-occupants and long-term residents that keeps the neighborhood feel grounded. Fairmount attracts buyers who value proximity to culture and green space as much as the urban energy a few blocks south.
9,975 people live in Fairmount, where the median age is 37 and the average individual income is $78,788. Data provided by the U.S. Census Bureau.
