Homes in Roxborough

Up on
the ridge.

Roxborough sits on a steep ridge between the Wissahickon and the Schuylkill. Homes run from attached rows and twins to larger apartment buildings, some of them fairly new.

01
Twins on the Ridge

Along Ridge Avenue most buildings are detached or semi-detached, with some rows, and nearly all stand three stories or less. Tell us how many floors you want cleaned.

02
Suburban streets

Henry Avenue opened the rest of Roxborough to suburban building, and Upper Roxborough grew much like the Montgomery County suburbs. Driveway or garage? Tell us which door to use.

03
Apartment buildings

Plenty of homes are in larger apartment buildings, some built since 2000. Add the building’s rules and parking to your booking notes.

04
Hills + steps

Expect hills, and more than a dozen public staircases down to Manayunk. If there are steps between the curb and your door, mention them.

Public lots

There are public lots at 465 Leverington Avenue and 514 Dupont Street. If one is close to you, say so in your booking notes.

Snow routes

Ridge Avenue above Cathedral Road and Henry Avenue below it are snow emergency routes. Cars on them must move in a declared snow emergency, or may be ticketed and towed.

The climb

The neighborhood climbs, especially heading north. If your driveway or front steps are steep, tell us before the visit.

Is my home in Roxborough or Manayunk?

The line is blurry and not official. Roxborough runs along the ridge, with Ridge Avenue as its main street, while Manayunk sits lower down, linked to it by more than a dozen staircases. We clean both, plus Upper Roxborough, Germany Hill and Dearnley Park, so book with your street address.

Do you clean in Upper Roxborough?

Yes. Upper Roxborough grew much like the nearby Montgomery County suburbs, with new houses, lawns and strip malls along Henry and Ridge Avenues. The ridge itself runs about five miles northwest until it crosses into Montgomery County. We clean on both sides of the county line, so book with your address.

Where should the cleaners park near Ridge Avenue?

Street parking can be tough on Ridge Avenue, but there are public lots at 465 Leverington Avenue and 514 Dupont Street. Ridge Avenue above Cathedral Road is a snow emergency route, so cars there must move in a declared snow emergency. If you have a driveway we can use, tell us in your booking notes.

My house has steps up from the street. Is that a problem?

No. Roxborough is hilly, and the whole neighborhood sits on a steep ridge above the Schuylkill. Tell us about front steps, a steep driveway or a back entrance in your booking notes, along with the nearest parking, so the team can plan the walk in with equipment.

Where does the name Roxborough come from?

Billy Penn traces it to Roxburghshire in Scotland, the home of an early settler. Visit Philadelphia counts several smaller neighborhoods inside the larger district, including Wissahickon, Germany Hill and Shawmont. This page covers Roxborough itself plus Upper Roxborough, Germany Hill, Dearnley Park and Roxborough Park.
