Packer Park is Trending UP!

/ Jim Onesti, Realtor, Development Expert / Leave a comment

pic1Driving through Packer Park this morning I couldn’t help but notice yet another third story addition being added!!

This particular one was located at 3137 Croatan Place but is really only one of many we have spotted all over the neighborhood!

In addition to all of the additions being added, it seems that more and more three story homes are being built in general in the area. We also spotted a few others on Forrestal just the other day!

It is clear that Packer Park is a neighborhood filled with families that want to stay. Unlike so many of the other Center City and surrounding neighborhoods, Packer Park is filled with families that would rather stay in the home they love, in the area they know, and expand the size of the current home to fit their growing families! Most Center City neighborhoods are filled with mostly young professionals and very few children, Packer Park is mostly made up of large families with many children!

Packer Park has seen a lot of new activity this year, from the New Construction at Geary Estates (10 New Construction homes with finished basements, which sold out in record time due to the high demand) to these new additions being added all over!! Rumor has it that another exciting project is heading to the neighborhood and bringing with it 20 to 30 new construction homes by the end of 2015! Stay tuned for more info on that!

Heavy Smoke Pours From Packer Park House Fire!

/ Jim Onesti, Realtor, Development Expert / Leave a comment

A big warm thank you to all of the police and firefighters that came out to assist with the recent fire at Brinton Estates in Packer Park!

Click Here for News Story: Heavy Smoke Pours From South Philly House Fire!

Luckily no one was seriously injured and everyone is ok!

pp1According to NBC10 News:
Three police officers are injured while rescuing an elderly woman from a house fire in South Philadelphia. The fire started around 6:30 p.m on the 3200 block of Chaucer Street in the Packer Park section of the neighborhood, near Citizens Bank Park. The fire quickly spread to at least four row homes on the block. “We were just walking out of the house and a neighbor came running up, and told us our deck was on fire,” said Mike Coplove. Dark, thick smoke was seen rising from the neighborhood and witnesses tell NBC10 they could even spot the flames from the ballpark. The three officers, who work in the 17th District, broke through the front door of that elderly woman’s home to help her escape. They were treated for minor cuts to their hands. The Red Cross is assisting 5 families whose homes were destroyed or damaged.The cause of the fire is under investigation.
