Manayunk, a historic neighborhood in Northwest Philadelphia, sits along the Schuylkill River. This former mill town, whose name comes from the Lenape word for "place to drink" (referring to the river), features cobblestone streets and row homes dating back to the 19th century. Apartments for rent in Manayunk offer access to the neighborhood's Main Street district, which earned a spot on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 for its well-preserved industrial architecture.
Housing options include renovated industrial lofts in converted mill buildings and traditional Philadelphia row homes. The SEPTA Manayunk/Norristown Line connects residents to Center City Philadelphia in approximately 15 minutes. The Schuylkill River Trail provides opportunities for biking and running, while the neighborhood's elevated position offers views of the river valley.
