Bustleton, PA

What can you tell me about it? Is it a nice or a not so nice area?

 

[Tiggeroo]

working class. Mixed areas. Why do you ask. There are nicer areas around it. Bustleton is probably good if your job requires you to stay in Phila.

I have a friend that might be moving to Philly and his brother lives in that area. I was just wondering what it was like.

My dad had a barbershop close to there. I think my brother runs it now. It's changed quite a bit over the years. Used to be working class white but I think (like a lot of places) it's quite diversified now.

The one thing I HATED about going there (don't know if it's changed) is that the people would TRIPLE PARK!!!

Quite rude!!!

I went to high school in this section of Northeast Philly. Back then, it was mostly upper middle class. Nice homes, nice cars, etc.

It's quite different now.

Bustleton has become a sort of "starting point" for immigrants from Russia, India, and the Middle East. Very diversified. Still nice, but very few residents speak English
