Where to stay in Ryers
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Ryers suits travellers who want a quiet residential base in Northeast Philadelphia rather than the crowded core of the city. Beds are thin this far out. The neighbourhood sits along Cottman Avenue toward the edge of Philadelphia, near Fillmore Street and the line that separates the city from Cheltenham and Rockledge in Montgomery County.
Streets stay calm. If you would trade nightlife for a base near Old Trinity Church and a short drive into the wider city, Ryers offers a settled corner of Pennsylvania.
