List of Philadelphia neighborhoods
Encyclopedia : L : LI : LIS : List of Philadelphia neighborhoods
The following is a list of neighborhoods, districts, and other places located in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, organized by broad geographical location within the city. While there is no official list of neighborhoods, districts, and places, this list was compiled from the sources listed in the External links section, as well as from information compiled from residents, current and former, of Philadelphia. The "unofficial" status of neighborhoods in Philadelphia means that there are no "official" borders, such that some of the places listed below may overlap geographically, and residents are not always in agreement with where one neighborhood ends and another begins.
