Where: Manayunk’s borders are often blurred with those of neighboring Roxborough or with Wissahickon, but many residents define the boundaries as Main Street, Manayunk Avenue and Fountain Street.
Who lives there: A diverse mix of longtime residents (some third and fourth generation) and young professionals working in Center City and the surrounding neighborhoods.
What it looks like: Rolling hills dotted with rowhomes contrast sharply with Main Street, home to trendy shops and restaurants.
