=== Pros and Cons === '''Pros:''' * Affordable by Philadelphia standards * Family-friendly * Strong community * Nature access * Safe streets '''Cons:''' * Limited public transit * Car-dependent * Less dining variety than Center City * Far from downtown {{FAQ | q1 = What is Dalessandro's? | a1 = Dalessandro's Steaks at Wendover Street and Henry Avenue is considered one of Philadelphia's best cheesesteak shops. Family-owned since 1960, it's cash-only with long lines at peak times. Nearby Chubby's creates a local rivalry. | q2 = What is Roxborough like? | a2 = Roxborough has a small-town feel unusual for Philadelphia, with single-family homes (not rowhouses), tree-lined streets, and multi-generational families. It's more car-dependent than other neighborhoods due to limited transit. | q3 = Is Roxborough in Philadelphia? | a3 = Yes, Roxborough is within Philadelphia city limits in the Northwest section. It was consolidated into Philadelphia in 1854 but retained its distinct identity due to geographic isolation from the Wissahickon Valley. | q4 = Can you access Wissahickon from Roxborough? | a4 = Yes, Roxborough borders Wissahickon Valley Park along its eastern edge with multiple trail access points. Residents can hike, bike, and ride horses in the 2,000-acre urban wilderness. }}
