Why Renters Love Fox Chase
Fox Chase is one of the greenest corners of Northeast Philadelphia. Burholme Park sits at the heart of the neighbourhood with wide open lawns, walking paths, and picnic areas, and Fox Chase Farm — a working farm right inside the city — is just up the road. The overall vibe is quiet and residential: rows of well-kept homes, local shops along the main streets, and a genuine sense of community that many renters say drew them here in the first place.
Because it sits at the northern edge of the city, Fox Chase trades some of the bustle of Center City for more breathing room. That balance — green space and calm streets, with the wider amenities of a big city still close by — is a big part of why fox chase apartments stay in steady demand.
Getting Around: Transit & Commute
Getting into the city from Fox Chase is refreshingly simple. The neighbourhood is the end of the line for SEPTA’s Fox Chase Regional Rail, so you can hop a train and ride straight into Center City without changing lines. For drivers, Roosevelt Boulevard is close by and connects you to the rest of Northeast Philadelphia and the major routes out of the city.
Day to day, Fox Chase is easy to get around by car, and many errands — groceries, pharmacies, coffee — are near home rather than a long trip away. If a manageable commute to Center City matters to you, the Regional Rail connection is one of Fox Chase’s strongest selling points.
What It Costs to Rent in Fox Chase
Rent in Fox Chase generally lands in a comfortable middle for Philadelphia — typically more affordable than Center City and the trendier riverfront neighbourhoods, while still offering updated apartments and green surroundings. As a rough guide, studios and one-bedrooms sit at the lower end of the range, two-bedrooms move up from there, and larger units with premium features or extra parking come in higher.
Actual pricing shifts with the size of the apartment, the building, its amenities, and current availability, so the best way to get a real number is to check live listings. You can browse current openings and pricing when you find an apartment on our site.
