Packer Park

Peaceful Local Community in South Philly
Packer Park is a smaller neighborhood in South Philadelphia with a large Italian American population. It is home to The Novacare Complex, a sporting complex owned by the Philadelphia Eagles. Packer Park is also right next to Citizens Bank Park, home of the Phillies, The Eagles' Lincoln Financial Field, and the Xfinity Live! dining and entertainment complex. It is a peaceful, well-maintained, and safe community with a relaxing atmosphere. Residents here enjoy yoga, walking their dogs, and volunteering.

Packer Park is home to many cul-de-sacs rather than the popular row houses to highlight the neighborhood's common green spaces and large back yards. These cul-de-sacs also create a lot more off street parking and driveways. This community of approximately 1200 townhomes is perfect for families, professionals, and retirees as it is a clean and green escape from city life.
