Any recs on a decently safe neighborhood near the patco for 4/5 people coming from south jersey? We currently have our eyes on a house around center city. We're also looking around mantua and gray's ferry but I hear that's a bad neighborhood. We're also looking to bring a dog and a bird with us.

Just my opinion but I live in deep south Philly near Oregon and west of broad and I recommend it. I believe the patco stations are between 15th and 8th on market so if you are looking over in mantua it wouldn't be much farther to commute from down here. It also has the benefit of being very close to the bridge to get to South Jersey if you have a car. South west isn't as trendy as passyunk but is quiet and family friendly. And everyone has a dog lol. Good luck!

Living along the BSL provides easy connection to Patco, especially in the north if you have access to the Broad Ridge Spur for quick connections at 8th and market. It's about 15 minutes from Olney to 8th via the BRS for example.
