Lovely House in Bella Vista with Bi-level deck featuring a Center City view. Neighborhood Description Bella Vista is located on the border between Center City Philadelphia and South Philadelphia bounded by South St., Washington Ave., 11th St. and 6th St.. The neighborhood of 7,000 is home to many parks including the Palumbo Recreation Center, Cianfranco Park, Bardascino Park, Palumbo Park, Triangle Park, and Bel Arbor Community Gardens. Parks just over the border include Starr Garden Park, Seger Recreation Center, Weccacoe Playground, and Kahn Park. This gives residents a wide range of activities close at hand including baseball and soccer fields, tennis, basketball, and bocce courts, numerous playgrounds and a dog run. And of course, many of the parks provide a good place to sit and relax underneath the trees. Shopping and restaurant amenities dot the neighborhood. The two major corridors are South St. and the Italian Market. Whole Foods and Superfresh and numerous produce, meat and cheese shops serve the area. There are dozens of restaurants along these two corridors as well as others on smaller streets providing a multitude of dining experiences minutes from home. The neighborhood also offers great transportation options. Parking is mixed between zoned residential parking to protect neighborhood spaces from South St. shoppers and unzoned parking making it easy to find spaces close to your home. Both the Broad Street Subway and Patco are less than a half mile from the neighborhood while the Market-Frankford line and Market East Regional Rail station are less than a mile away. The 47 and 23 buses both run North-South through the neighborhood and the 40 and 64 run East West providing you with quick access to almost anywhere. The neighborhood is split between three K-8 schools. This home, 714 S. Darien St. is located in the Meredith catchment, known as one of the best schools in the city of Philadelphia. The other two schools--Jackson and Nebinger--are both up and coming schools where increased community involvement has helped improve performance.
