Schuylkill, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Schuylkill is a neighborhood in the South Philadelphia region of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Schuylkill is the 19146 area code, which lies on the west side of Broad Street as far as 25th Street, where the Point Breeze neighborhood starts, and from the north side of Washington Avenue up to South Street. Schuylkill has long time been one of South Philly's most crime stricken areas due to murders, drug dealing, poverty, and inadequate public schools.

Due to Kenny Gamble and city development restoring many abandoned houses in the area, Schuylkill is currently experiencing a period of gentrification.
