I found myself in Allegheny West over the weekend. Here is some of the development I saw:
At the corner of Ridge and Allegheny:
3900 block of Ridge:
3300 block of Clearfield Street:
There are multiple new single family residences coming to the corner of 35th and Westmoreland:
I didn't grab a picture, but huge parcel of land at 34th and Indiana, slated to become apartments, appeared to be undergoing site clearance.
I'm bullish on the future of North Philly as a whole, but I'm especially bullish on this neighborhood! The section of Allegheny West within the triangle formed by Ridge, Allegheny, and Hunting Park will flourish in the years to come. It has great proximity to East Falls and Manayunk, is walking distance to the Schuylkill River Trail, and the area is pretty low-crime. If I had the same access to capital that some area developers have, I'd be investing a lot of money into that section of the neighborhood right now!
