Port Richmond

This neighborhood is bounded by the Frankford Creek to the northeast, Lehigh Avenue to the southwest, I-95 and the Delaware River to the southeast, and Frankford Avenue to the northwest. While some people dispute the western boundary of the neighborhood, stating either Aramingo Avenue or Frankford Avenue, general consensus among residents on either side of the railroad is that those east of it claim Port Richmond and those west of it claim Harrowgate. While some have referred to Port Richmond as Richmond, there is an area named Richmond, not colloquially used often, that refers to the most northeast section of the neighborhood. In recent years, residents have accepted Portside as the neighborhoods up and coming party scene. Adjacent neighborhoods are Bridesburg and Frankford to the northeast, Juniata to the north, Harrowgate to the west, Fishtown and Olde Richmond to the south.
