WSW and Queen Village are great neighborhoods. Both are in the thick of city living with enough greenery and quiet blocks that you don't feel overwhelmed. Similar vibes based on what you're looking for: East Passyunk (but be mindful that the further east and south you go in this area, the less trees and parks), Graduate Hospital, Fairmount/Art Museum, Bella Vista, Fitler Square, and if you want even more greenery and quiet, you can look at East Falls, Mount Airy, or Chestnut Hill.

Thanks so much!! And all of these (including East Falls, Mount Airy, or Chestnut Hill) would
be doable without a car?

No. You need a car for East Falls, Mount Airy or Chestnut Hill. I have friends who live in East Falls and you can’t walk to the grocery store, although I guess you could get delivery. The three of these are like the burbs from a NYC perspective—or maybe Staten Island.

walk score for Chestnut Hill is 69. https://www.walkscore.com/score/Chestnut-Hill-Philadelphia-Pennsylvania/lat=40.0715789794922/lng=-75.2105865478516/?utm_source=searchpoint.net&utm_medium=ws_api&utm_campaign=ws_api
