In Francisville, development around 19th & Poplar over the past couple of years has had a transformative effect on the surrounding neighborhood. To name just a couple, projects like a ten-home development on Ginnodo Street and a 35-unit development that replaced several vacant structures have helped contribute toward making this area into an up and coming residential hotbed.

In fact, at least three of the homes closest to Ridge Avenue are already occupied.
