Located in Bartram Village, 2242 S 56th Street is a two-bedroom, one-bath townhouse offering approximately 648 square feet of living space on a 1,712-square-foot lot.

Bartram Village and the surrounding Southwest Philadelphia area continue to see neighborhood investment and revitalization, with efforts focused on new housing, public spaces, pedestrian infrastructure, transportation connections, and stronger connections to the Schuylkill River waterfront. The area's combination of established residential streets, green space, transit access, and proximity to major Philadelphia corridors makes it an appealing location for buyers looking for value and future potential. Whether you're looking for a manageable two-bedroom home with room for customization or an investment opportunity in an evolving Philadelphia neighborhood, 2242 S 56th Street offers a chance to build value while enjoying the accessibility and outdoor amenities of Southwest Philadelphia. 2240 S 56th Street and the neighboring 2242 S 56th Street may also be available for purchase as a package, offering a potential opportunity for buyers or investors interested in acquiring both properties.
