Adding to its' convenient accessibility, it sets atop the Chestnut Hill West Regional Rail line leading directly to Center City and 30th street. Chestnut Hill is rich with a diverse offering of restaurants, local businesses, and homes ranging from cottages to mansions! Chestnut Hill was featured as one of the charming residential neighborhoods on Good Morning America's "Main Street USA" series! All units are currently leased with staggered expirations.
