Zip code 19142 covers Elmwood Park and Eastwick in Southwest Philadelphia, a four-season area with leafy blocks, classic rowhomes, and big-sky views near the tidal marshes of the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge at Tinicum—great for birding, jogging, and mellow bike loops. It’s a friendly, family- and pet‑welcoming pocket with a strong community fabric and plenty of green space. According to Zillow Rental Manager market trends in recent months, the median asking rent has hovered around $1,200, with most listings ranging roughly $900–$1,600.
Daily life centers on Woodland, Elmwood, and Island avenues, with West African and Caribbean kitchens, halal grills, hoagie shops, and casual coffee spots. Groceries and errands are easy at Island Avenue Shopping Center and Penrose Plaza (think supermarkets, pharmacies, and essentials), plus local rec hubs like Eastwick Recreation Center, Elmwood Park, and Finnegan Playground. SEPTA trolleys 11 and 36, bus routes to the airport and University City, and the Airport Line at Eastwick Station keep commutes simple, with quick links to I‑95 and I‑76.

Strong neighborhood connections and community events foster a friendly atmosphere.
