The surge in dense rowhouse construction is evident when you head up Ridge Avenue from Center City. Neighborhoods like Brewerytown and Francisville are attractive because they're so close to Center City - within walking distance if you're ambitious - and have terrific transit. It's clear that Sharswood would have been next up for revival (or, if you prefer, gentrification) had PHA not used eminent domain to take control of a large chunk of land from Girard to Cecil B. Moore Avenue, 19th to 27th.
