Northeast Philadelphia, PA

About This Community

Join over 50 families who moved in just in the last few years! Northeast Philadelphia offers the ultimate combination of accessibility, affordability, and authentic community living.

Strategic Location, Unbeatable Convenience: Along the I-95 corridor, we're 90 minutes from NYC, 2 hours to Baltimore, and just over an hour to Lakewood. Commute to NYC? Drive 30 minutes to Trenton Station for a 50-minute train ride to Penn Station.

Authentic Torah Living: High standards of Torah learning anchor our community. Our vibrant kollel serves as a spiritual growth hub across all backgrounds. Numerous shiurim and learning opportunities thrive in local shuls. We value modesty and simplicity over materialism—substance over status.

Life-Changing Affordability: Rent a spacious 2-3 bedroom home for $1.5K-2K monthly with full amenities. Buy for $350K with just $3K in annual property taxes. Day school tuition will astonish you, thanks to Pennsylvania's Private School Tax Credits. Your children’s Jewish education becomes achievable, not overwhelming.

Career Opportunities Abound: Philadelphia's world-class universities, hospitals, and Fortune 500 companies offer opportunities across every industry. Share your resume—we'll personally connect you.

Community That Embraces You: Our warm, chesed-oriented families, multiple shuls, and diverse school options ensure everyone belongs. You'll find your place in your own shul while feeling welcome everywhere.

The Bottom Line: Spend less on living, invest more in what truly matters. Experience a growth-oriented, Torah-centered community with an out-of-town feel and in-town infrastructure—the best of both worlds.

Ready to transform your family's future? Let us welcome you home.
