    Centered on Graduate Hospital, Point Breeze, and Grays Ferry, 19146 blends historic brick rowhomes with new builds and a friendly stoop culture a short walk from Center City and the Schuylkill River Trail. Expect four true seasons—lush springs, hot humid summers, colorful falls, and brisk winters—and an active street life: South Street West hums with coffee (Ultimo, OCF), music haunts like Bob & Barbara’s, and dining from Rex at the Royal to Sidecar and Dock Street South. Everyday errands are easy with Giant Heirloom Market on Bainbridge and Sprouts at Lincoln Square, plus City Fitness and Orangetheory nearby. Green pockets like Julian Abele and Wharton Square parks, and the Grays Ferry Crescent, make it family- and pet-friendly. Per Zillow Market Trends over the past few months, the median asking rent has hovered around $2,050, with typical listings roughly $1,600–$3,100. Commuters appreciate walkability, bike lanes, the Broad Street Line (Lombard–South/Ellsworth–Federal), quick I‑76 access, and June’s ODUNDE festival.
