Fairmount Community Development Corporation

Fairmount CDC defines the Fairmount neighborhood as being bounded by two commercial corridors (Girard & Fairmount Avenues), Fairmount Park, and the Eastern State Penitentiary (Corinthian Avenue).

With its proximity to the City, Fairmount Park, and the Philadelphia Art Museum, its strong community spirit, great amenities, and beautiful historic housing stock, the Fairmount neighborhood has become a much sought-after place to live. Yet, the neighborhood’s character is also defined by families who have lived here for many generations.

Fairmount CDC seeks to foster appropriate and beneficial development while preserving the neighborhood’s essential character.
