The two main roads, Ridge Ave and Henry Ave run parallel to each other and bisect the community running North-South. Ridge Ave is the commercial spine of the neighborhood where most businesses are located within walking distance to the residents. The neighborhood is largely suburban with large lawns, garages, and shopping centers. Included in Upper Roxborough is a historic district that includes a number of small scale farm and industrial workers' housing, estate houses, mill-owners' dwellings, farm buildings.
There are no upcoming events in this neighborhood. Feel free to contact us with your contributions.
