About
Sunnyside
Sunnyside, located between Upland Borough and the City of Chester waterfront, is a residential and industrial Chester neighborhood with rowhouse blocks and rail-side corridors. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the busy stretch of E 9th Street near Upland Street, where corner storefronts and auto-oriented services set a working-day rhythm. Brick twins and compact rowhomes line narrow streets, with occasional light-industrial buildings marking the edges. Daily life centers on practical errands and local institutions rather than a single main street. Green space comes through nearby riverfront parkland and small neighborhood fields. SEPTA and Amtrak service at Chester Transportation Center ties the area to the wider region.
