Chestnut Hill, Historic residential neighborhood in northwest Philadelphia, US
The streets of Chestnut Hill feature Victorian mansions, stone buildings, and twin houses built with Wissahickon schist along tree-lined cobblestone streets.
The neighborhood transformed from a summer retreat for wealthy Philadelphians into a year-round residential area after the 1854 railroad connection to Center City.
The Stagecrafters Theater presents theatrical productions since 1929, while annual festivals on Germantown Avenue showcase local artisans and merchants.
Two SEPTA regional rail lines, multiple bus routes, and six public parking lots provide transportation options for visitors to reach Chestnut Hill.
The Morris Arboretum spans 92 acres with gardens and the Wissahickon Valley Park offers hiking trails within the neighborhood boundaries.
