About Academy
Hill
Academy Hill, located between Widener University and Crozer-Chester Medical Center, is a residential and institutional Chester neighborhood with brick campus greens and hillside streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Widener University campus along E 14th Street, where academic buildings, student hangouts, and pocket lawns set a steady daytime rhythm. Widener University anchors the area with collegiate architecture and event spaces. The Ward Recreation Center adds courts and community programming in a classic city-park setting. Rowhouses and older detached homes line the blocks, with mature trees and stoops shaping the streetscape. SEPTA’s Chester Transportation Center sits nearby, tying the hill to the waterfront and Center City Philadelphia.
