Dickinson Narrows, that little nugget of a neighborhood nestled between Pennsport and East Passyunk, has been ranked as Redfin's 2nd-hottest neighborhood of 2015, coming in second to San Diego's El Cerrito neighborhood on their "Hottest Neighborhoods of 2015″ list. The report asserts that the Dickinson Narrows, also known as "Dickinson Square West," offers affordable options for homebuyers not wanting to stray too far from Center City.
It's also located in South Philly, which is becoming a hotspot for first-time homebuyers and suburban relocators. Dickinson Narrows has its own enclave of popular restaurants and bars and it's surrounded by scenic parks and playgrounds. It's also one of the few neighborhoods downtown you'll find with spare parking and garages, which is at a premium in South Philly.
