Tacony
Sell Your Tacony House with Honest Numbers.
Tacony has deep working-class roots: the Disston Saw Works employed much of the neighborhood for a century. Today it's a stable residential area with Delaware River access, a growing trail network, and prices that haven't caught up to the development happening along the waterfront. The Tacony-Palmyra Bridge connects directly to New Jersey.
What's Here
Tacony Creek Park trail, Delaware River waterfront and trail, Tacony-Palmyra Bridge to NJ, historic Disston Saw Works site (redevelopment underway), Longshore Avenue commercial strip, and the Tacony branch of the Free Library.
The Housing Stock
Mix of rowhomes, twins, and some single-family detached homes, mostly built between 1900 and 1950. Stone and brick construction, typically well-maintained. Many homes have rear yards and some have garages or driveway access. Prices are affordable: $170K to $280K for most sales, with renovated properties pushing into the $300s.
Transit & Access
SEPTA Regional Rail Trenton Line at Tacony station. SEPTA bus routes along Torresdale Avenue and Longshore Avenue. I-95 accessible nearby.
The Builder's Read
Tacony is a neighborhood I'd tell sellers to watch closely. The waterfront development and trail expansion are real demand drivers, not speculation. If you're considering selling, the numbers are moving up, but not so fast that waiting another year is guaranteed to pay off. An honest pricing conversation here matters more than in neighborhoods where the trend line is already obvious.
